I just recently started using this product and yes it does give an instant curl and extra volume to the lashes. The product like literally lasts forever. It claims to be waterproof and surely lives up to it. It’s a great product and is very easy to apply. Only two - three coats of the mascara gives a long lasting curl to the lashes. The curls last upto 18 hrs. The high quality of the ingredients also ensures the safety of your eyes. It is very easy to remove the mascara without hurting the lashes. The product lasts for a good 1-2 months. Overall this is a good product and is good value for money.
