So I'm glad it was specified to get this mascara in waterproof, because the regular kind totally doesn't hold lashes in place as well or look as good. Sometimes I'll stray to try out new mascaras, but I always come running back to my L'Oreal like an old boyfriend. The first few times you use it, it is a bit spidery but it helps if you take off a little of the excess on the wand. Actually, I've read you're supposed to do this with any type of mascara. Overall though, this is by far one of the best mascaras for full, separated lashes.
