This mascara separated and coated my lashes beautifully. It made them look thicker and longer without any clumps. It also made them look more curled upwards without the need for extra tools or steps. I wore it for 3-4 hours and it looked good still at the end of that time. No smuges. I cant comment on any of the long term serum effects as I just got this. I rarely wear make up so it probably won't do much but it’s nice to know there is beneficial ingredients in there.

When I put it on at first in the morning it looked so fab. But now 10 hours later I look like a panda. Had such high hopes. I will try again tomorrow with maybe more powder under eyes. Normally would not be getting that with my hourglass mascara. 

This is perfect everyday mascara, it does a little bit of everything but not in too obvious way: it lengthens lashes a bit, gives a bit of volume & definition. It is great for everyday day look. The mascara expiration date after opening indicated on the packaging is 6 months. Unfortunately mine mascara from Cult Beauty was opened before. I could see fingerprints all over the tube after I opened it. I recommend the mascara, but I suggest to buy it from another retailer store.
