This is my 2nd Lauder mascara and just like the first one - I luv it!
The formula is awesome. It is very buildable and of course, as all Lauder products are, it is very long wearing and it does not flake / smudge. Don't worry - removal is easy peasy :)
The brush is quite interesting, it has hard plastic bristles, but 1 row of bristles are slightly longer than the rest. These really hug your lashline during application and enable you to build volume from the bottom up.
I have pretty long lashes, but they are not full. With this one it makes it seem like I have a million lashes! This mascara is life!!!
This mascara is great for special occasions. It is a bit of a splurge, so I would use it sparingly, but it is worth every cent!
