This is better than drugstore mascara in my opinion, but not nearly as good as my typical go to. I tried this because of the sale, and because I love my other bare minerals products. The mascara doesn’t give me the “wow” I like to have. It doesn’t look bad, but it doesn’t look great either. It doesn’t seem to stay on as long as other brands either, not flaky, but just gone somehow. Washes off easily, and doesn’t clump so that part I like! Just wish it made my lashes pop a little better. I’d say it’s better for volume than it is lengthening.
