I was torn between this mascara or buying the push up drama mascara from maybelline. Normally I don't have an issue with covergirl mascaras and I find they work well. However, the brush was too bulky for me that it didn't really work with my eyelashes, and it even hurt my lashline when I applied it. It didn't really add length or volume to my eyelashes, it just darkened them. I won't buy this mascara again unfortunately.
