Last time, I used this volume type. I'm not a mascara person, but this one really gave my lashes volume, and the curl lasted, and even when my eyes watered, they didn't look like pandas, which is what I loved. I happened to stop by a store and they only had this long type, so I bought it, but it didn't give me the finish I wanted... and when I was chatting with a friend, my eyes would immediately look like pandas. It was really disappointing... so I won't be buying it again.
