Lash Lifting Mascara

I really wanted to like this product for so many reasons...So far I really like their brow gel and other products for brows, but for whatever reason, the formula in my mascara was really sticky, clumpy, and dry. I'm not sure that it's supposed to be that way...more on the waxy side than anything. I realize that there is caranuba wax, which is used for waterproof mascaras and structure, but it was really heavy on my lashes after a while, weighing them down. I did have a sample mascara that I got in the duo pack with the brow gel. I wouldn't say that it necessarily "lifts" my lashes, but more or less adds thickness and fullness, which isn't my issue. I really wanted the lift and length effect...
