"Unfortunately it's not volumizing, though it doesn't claim to be. [...] The main issue for me was the crunch and the feeling of brittleness. My lashes didn't break, [...] but they felt like if I touched them they would snap off. I still like my lashes to be movable, and I don't want them to feel like they have a coating of plastic on the exterior. [...] There's nothing actually wrong with the formula, it's just my personal preference. It's just not for me."

"It's definitely more lengthening than volumizing out of the bottle. I'd love for it to build up more and for it to have more grip, like the mascaras I usually like. The brown color [...] is quite unique, [...] a burgundy-tinged brown that complements the eyeshadow, and [...] I don't think lengthening is a bad thing. It doesn't smudge or flake, but for a bolder eye I'd prefer my lashes to match, so I'd want to try it again with a softer look."
