A lot of mascaras have been tried over the years, and this one qualifies for the top 3 worst. Wasted money. It goes on very thin at first and dries extremely quickly, the lashes become stiff which means that if you want to add another layer it clumps up and you have like one chance to apply it well. If you don't separate all the lashes right away, it's done for, it clumps together and stiffens. I still want to give it that it holds well all day - but I can't achieve the look I want and usually get with other mascaras. Washing it off is a whole project. You have to gradually increase the heat of the water to get it hot enough to almost burn, and then it starts to slowly break down, but you still have to stand there and rub for ages and pull the tubes off with your nails. Makeup remover doesn't work at all. If you want armored lashes that you can sleep with for three days, then it's good in that sense.
