I bought this mascara because It was recommended to me buy a friend. I had never bought this kind before, because I always wanted volume. I have used their thickening mascara, but it never had done anything for me.   I had nevr thought to ever try lengthening mascara. I am so glad my friend recommend this too me.  I AM in LOVE! This mascara is definitely one of my HGs! It gave me super long lashes! I did about three coats, and I was pleasantly suprised that it added a little volume and lots of length. It didn't smudge or smear either! At $2 a pop, how can you afford NOT to buy this mascara?
