The promise: "The patented triple action gel formula instantly builds, extends and sculpts your lashes. Our exclusive Triple Impact Brush wraps mascara evenly around every lash for a look that's 100 percent fuller, up to 50 percent visibly longer and up to 50 degrees curvier -- all in one smooth application."
True or false? Hard to quantify, unless someone offers to take out a ruler and measure my lashes.
What I like: That with just one coat of mascara (and the use of an eyelash curler), it almost looks like I'm wearing false eyelashes. No clumps, flakes or smudges. And unlike the last mascara I used -- High Impact by Clinique -- this one didn't make my eyes itch by the end of the day.
What I don't like: That it doesn't come off easily with soap and water.
Worth buying? Yes, if you have sensitive eyes or don't have the time to apply multiple coats of mascara.
