I received this from suzykirei! Thank you! I'm grateful that it leaves a little curl even when used alone! My lashes tend to clump a little at the tips, but it separates them delicately! When used with Kate's mascara base, it adds volume and keeps the curl until the evening! Also, because it's jet black, I thought it would look too obvious and old-fashioned, but that wasn't the case at all. It really makes my lashes stand out and is easy to use on a daily basis!
When used with Kate's Lash Maximizer, it lifts your lashes beautifully without clumping. It also has great hold, so I recommend it.
I love mascara that keeps curl and is waterproof, so I've finally found a mascara that works on even my short lashes.
It was easy to put on!
I use it together with the Lash Maximizer so I'm not sure which has the effect, but it does seem to help keep curls in place.
