This was the first product I tried from Hard Candy, and I was stunned. This product is only $6.00 yet it works EXACTLY like the one I got by Dior!! That has to tell you something! I'd say this mascara is more of a lengthening mascara than a volumizing one, that's the only some-what 'down' I can honestly say. So if you're looking for something to lengthen those lashes of yours, and for a low low price too, this is the product for you :)
