I just tried this mascara today and although its Lancomes #1 selling mascara and gets the best reviews and its not bad and I would recommend it; BUT!! Maybelline's Lash Discovery is every bit as good for alot less $$$$...I recommend waiting for the waterproof version for lasting power BUT it gets EVERY lash and then some! and lengthens! (no volume) LOVE LASH discovery and named appropriately since it "discovers" lashes you didn't know you had!! LOL
