In all honesty i don't really like waterproof mascaras, this was a must though for my wedding day. As I couldn't find my usual mascara (Revlon 3d photoready in black) in waterproof, so the sales consultant offered this up as the next best thing. It is a really good quality mascara as it did not smudge, flake or run when I cried, it still looked as gorgeous as when it was first applied. It a deep intense black which i like and it thickened up my last beautifully - gave me that false lash look which was great. The worst part was, its a PAIN to remove, I now have a once used mascara in my bag, so for me it was a waste of money for me as I definitely wont use it again. But if you prefer waterproof mascaras, then this would be a great buy (I paid R149.95 at Foschini Canal Walk)
