I almost feel like I used a different mascara from the other ladies reviewing this, maybe I was just unlucky and ended up with an old tube or something, but everything about my experience with this mascara was absolutely TERRIBLE. It was like it never dried but it still flaked. It made my lashes too wet to keep them curled after using a lash curler. I tried curling my lashes afterward but it didnt work, the mascara would come off where the curler had been. It was clumpy when applying extra coats and using a lash brush would only add to the disaster, I would end up having to remove it. I have had much better expierences with cover girl and maybelline. Quite bluntly this was totally useless.
