This is one of my favourite mascaras! I've been using it for years ever since a friend recommended it, saying that it would help my eyelashes grow. Not only was she right, but this mascara also is long lasting, doesn't flake or go on clumpy, and I've never had raccoon eyes! I do sometimes use this as a primer with another mascara for a 'more intense' look if I'm going out at night or if it's a special occasion.
