Initially, I was quite disappointed with this mascara duo. I was very accustomed to the effect of Japanese mascaras that tended to perform very well in holding lashes up and I felt that this mascara did not fare equally good - The mascara smudged on me (I do not know if it is waterproof) and caused my lashes to droop after awhile. However, I gradually grew to enjoy this mascara duo more after tweaking my application method. I used to prime my eyelashes on both sides with the mascara base before going over them with the mascara, now I prime with mascara base and comb through with the actual macara on one eye before doing the other side. I think the mascara catches on to the primer better when the latter has not entirely dried out, hence my lashes look fuller and longer when I utilise this sequence of application as compared to my previous mode of application. However, because this duo is a sample sized version, both products are running out pretty quickly. I doubt I would re-purchase as ths cost is more pricey than drugstore mascaras and I see not much "wow" factor in the performance that will justify me buying these again.
