After dipping it in the mascara however, the bristles look a lot shorter meaning this wand holds a lot of product which is good. This means you can evenly do a whole layer of mascara without re-dipping the brush. The more you dip your brush (or pump the wand in and out of the tube) the quicker the mascara will dry out because you are pumping air into the tube and this will eventually dry your mascara out.

I've tried this mascara out for a while now, and honestly, there's not many negative things I can say about it. The only problem I had with it is that the giant brush doesn't have any sort of aid at the tip to help easily apply mascara to the little lashes at the corner that doesn't get coated. But even this is justifiable because this giant wand truly is amazing for volume. It does wonders for my little asian lashes. The bristles grip my lashes really well while coating them, and I feel this helps lengthen my lashes greatly as well.

Also, even though I had not purchased the waterproof version, this mascara did not smudge on me what so ever. I had even applied it to my lower lashes (which I don't usually do due to smudging) and it didn't budge the whole day. There was minimal smudging even after a long 12hr day.

All in all, I think this is an amazing mascara. It does what it says it does and that is give lashes amazing volume. I would definitely repurchase this mascara, and it's even better because it's so inexpensive at the drugstore. If you can pick this product up any where near you, I definitely suggest you try it out.

Here's my first impression video of it.
