I bought this when my old mascara was running out! It gives me a lot of volume and length! I also liked Addiction, but I felt that MAC's gave me more gorgeous lashes. It depends on your preference, but as I get older, my lips are thinner and I'm more concerned about sagging around my mouth, so I focus on my eyes with my makeup, and I like the volume it gives! However, the liquid is heavy, so if you apply too much, your lashes will droop, so I limit myself to applying it twice. It applies nicely if you lightly blot it with tissue before applying, but it seems like a waste... so I apply it gently and carefully to avoid clumping, being frugal. The scent is unique, but the size is generous, so it seems like good value for money! I was able to keep my lashes looking beautiful until the evening without any smudging!
