i found the mini of this mascara in 2023's Cult Beauty Advent Calendar and I've been using it for some time now. it claims to be a volumizing mascara and i couldn't disagree more. the formula doesn't like to be built up to create volume as it starts flaking off and the wand is definitely a defining shape/bristles instead of volumizing. the first (and arguably the only coat you have with this mascara) is beautiful, but it's lengthening/natural look. so if you want a wispy natural look (a la glossier mascara), you'll like this. but the description and marketing around it don't align with the performance of the product. which is why i'm only giving it 3 stars.

I really love the formula and the brush and the way this mascara makes my lashes look. I’m quite picky with my mascaras and a lot a them don’t do the job for me (especially drugstore ones). I would give this one five stars, but the price is a bit much. 

Disappointing. It gives dry-old mascara feeling. No big/voluminous lashes for me at all. Frankly speaking before just reading their description I thought they were going for a "natural look". But even so, it can be achieved so much cheaper and better with other products. Wouldn't buy it for sure.

I was amazed by its effect, by no means five stars product for me!

It is my new obsession! This one is did it job . Thanks to this, I can no longer wear eyeshadow . Extreme luxury. So velvety, so elegant. I have light short lashes, and it is difficult to find a mascara which can give me a satisfaction. But this one is great. Want to try other products, I believe, if this one so perfect, other should be also good.
