Looks good for a little while then smudges.

I wanted to love this mascara. I liked the ingredients and I had heard such good things about Ilia's mascaras so I bit the bullet and bought the mini. When first applied this mascara looks nice. I like the brush shape, it does add volume and it's a nice depth of black. But this always smudges on me. Always. And then the smudges are difficult to get rid of. It's also difficult to remove at the end of the day. For the price of this mascara I'm just not impressed at all. So my search for an amazing mascara without plastic in the formula continues.
