I recently submitted a review on this mascara raving about it's effects and I gave it a 5. However, I take that back. The first time I used this I had curled my eyelashes with an eyelash curler so I couldn't accurately determine to which degree the mascara had actually curled and defined my lashes. Furthermore, this product lengthens a bit, other than that, I don't notice any fullness, volume or seperation.The brush is a poor stupid design. This mascara is very messy, time consuming and difficult to apply. I keep giving a second, third, and fourth chance, but each time I am disappointed. I will stick with my Voluminous from now on. It is an awesome mascara and I don't think I will find a better one!
