I got this mascara as a sample. Really love using it. As it says its a lengthening mascara. It gave me A LOT of length. Great definition. No clumps no matter how many coats. Really black. It held my curl well. Only thing I didn't like was it didn't give me any volume at all and a lot of product got on the brush. Maybe because it was brand new. Anyway it would probably be great layered after a voluminizing mascara. It does a great job for what its supposed to do. I just like my mascaras to do it all...
