has to be lengthening and make it look like I have eye lashes [SEP] I am picky about my mascara. It has to be waterproof, has to be lengthening and make it look like I have eye lashes. It can't cause irritation when I wear contacts. The reason I tried this product was because I was out of mascara and was being adventurous in trying a new product. This product was dark, made it look like I had lashes, and made them look longer. I don't remember seeing anything about being waterproof but I wore it my first day when it was hot and I didn't have black eyes by the end of the day! I don't see much &#34;thickening&#34; going on with this product though. My lashes are very thin and minimal due to wearing mascara for so many years. I feel this product helped in making them stand out, but not so much making them look thick and perhaps fake-ish. I began layering this on with my other go to mascara and it definitely helps. Not a bad product by any means, just not your product if your main purpose is thickening.<br /><br />I did receive this product at a discounted price for my honest opinion. No matter the price I paid for it, all statements are truly my own and are no way altered. People rely on reviews before trying a product and I believe in giving my honest opinion to help others make their decision. Just remember, what works for some may not always work for others. We are all different after all.
