What are your experiences with this mascara? Is it worth the $23 and does it last? Before and After Pictures are helpful(: 
Thanks

I don't have pictures, because I honestly find it to be clumpy. I have naturally somewhat long lashes and this just makes them stick together and look spidery, and not in a good way. I could see why someone would like it, but I much rather use my Big Fatty from UD over this. Even though my mascara doesn't have the best reviews, it works great for my lashes to add volume and length, but many say that it's clumpy, yet it's never done that to me. Everyone is different and it's not until you try it that you'll know for sure :)

If you try it though, i will give you a heads up that the formula does not to well with adding more than one coat once it dries.. Definitely not one that you can keep reapply or touch up during the day, so get the look you want the first go around!

Hope this helps.

I really don't like this stuff. It's SUPER thick and clumpy, resulting in spider lashes. It's also impossible to layer it with any other mascara, or even to use more than one coat at all! I do see why some people like it, however: it holds a curl, and if you're willing to invest a solid 20 minutes for application and combing out of all the spidery clumps, it certainly does make your lashes very amplified. And I will give it props for not running or smearing: I've never used any other mascara (that wasn't waterproof) that was so reliable not to run. The flip side of that, of course, is that taking it off at night is a NIGHTMARE. It's like trying to wash cement off your face!

To be perfectly honest, for all the work and effort it takes to make this mascara work for me, it really is just quicker and easier (and healthier for my lashes!) to slap on a strip of falsies and move on with my life.

The first one I bought, 1 year ago, in a trip to Miami was awesome. It separates my lashes and lenghtens. It also gave a lot of volume. Recently, I went to a local Sephora store, and I asked a lady for a very lenghtening mascara that separates them and gave a lot of volume, and she recommended this one again, so I bought it. I was really disappointed though... it didn't separate them and didn't lengthen as much as the first one... I would'nt buy it again.

I agree with the other girls.. clumpy and spider-like! Diorshow mascara and primer is amazing (but expensive) and I still have never found a mascara I like more than covergirl lashblast volume (the orange one)

It's ok. It definitely dries out easily so it may not be worth it. The brush is great though. Buxom has a really great mascara collection. That's what I use for longer lasting, voluminous lashes.

I like it! It is my go to for nights out and occasions. Not really for everyday use though since it is thick and "spider like." I think that's what make them look somewhat dramatic like falsies though.

I'm not a fan. I'll use what's left of mine, but will not repurchase. I love my DIOR mascara. So worth the $ IMO.

I personally think its the best mascara I've tried. If your not sure of spending the $23 up front sephora and ulta normally have the mini version for $10 :)

This mascara is great! It really lengthens and volumizes your lashes but if you don't wanna buy the full size one....sephora sells a smaller version with the same size brush as the full size for $10....try it and if you don't like it return it....sephora has a great return policy
