I got this mascara from Sephora because the tube looked luxurious and I had just finished a tube of Dior mascara (a different variety) that was fantastic and hoped this one would prove to be excellent as well, with the added intensity it promised. It applies easily and is long lasting, but it smudges incredibly easily. After a few hours of wear, I end up with black smudges underneath my lash line and near my eyebrows from where my lashes touch my skin. I hate it so much that if it weren't such a process to exchange or return it, I would have by now.

This is a great mascara for durability...looks as good by nighttime as morning when I applied it.
