WOW...this is the mascara I've been looking for, for a long time. I have short, thick lashes. This mascara makes my lashes dark, glossy and l-o-n-g! The mascara didn't budge all day, but washed off so easily. It was on clearance and I wasn't sure if it is being discontinued or not, so I bought 6 tubes. I hope this will be around for a while!
