This product comes in a curved shaped barrel the wand is strangely curved as well.
I found this excellent for the top lashes. It really seemed to grab onto the lashes after I curled them with an eye lash curler. I used this with no lash primer. And it seemed to work really well. It really surprised me.
I have to say that it did not work so well for me on the bottom lashes. The curved wand caused a little bit of a problem here, But perhaps using a primer on the bottom lashes would help in this area. I certainly would not discount this product for this reason because it actually gave a nice volume and lash extension
As for the extreme curl, well perhaps compared to some other cheap mascaras it did hold the curl better. But not as well as something like the Lancome Hypnose (Which for me did not provide much in the way of volume, but it did hold a curl.).
This mascara is currently selling for £2.00 in Superdrug. and I have to say it performs better than mascaras I have tried which are ten times that amount. This mascara is a no brainer. It is a mush have.. I would definitely buy this again and it will surely find its way into my top ten once I have completed my mascara marathon.
