I've been struggling to find a mascara that suits me, but I've finally found one that suits me. I use eye drops a lot, so the first thing I look for in a mascara is that it doesn't smudge! I can't stand the idea of panda eyes! That said, I'm not a fan of the kind of mascara that tends to harden and crumble, which is common with budget mascaras... This mascara gives a very natural finish, yet somehow doesn't smudge! It doesn't make my lower lashes look panda-like, and it keeps the same finish I had in the morning until the evening. I'm not particularly concerned about curl retention or length, so I'm really happy with the fact that it doesn't smudge and has a natural finish. It doesn't look crumbled, which is strange. I've finally gotten over my mascara wobbles. I highly recommend this for anyone who can't find a good fit with any budget mascara.
