Sherani Magnified Mascara Black

I bought this particular mascara when a makeup artist suggested it to me - since I have sweaty eyelids and have only found tubes-style mascara not to leak and bleed and cause racoon eyes. This indeed is pretty darn good in that way, but it seems dry - perhaps just the lot I got? - and goes on chunkily on my lashes, makes them stick together where I have to work to separate them after application.

For the past few years, I've had the BAD, BAD mascara blues. I tried a popularly advertised brand with a dual something or another. It lasted about two weeks. Literally. And I don't use mascara every single day. I thought it was a bad batch. Same thing next time! So I switched to a few others, advertised and department store types; the department store types were more expensive. One was actually dry from the shelf; maybe the store had it too long... Tiring. Irritating. One was just not releasing enough fluid. I was wasting money and being played by companies that did not seem to care about what they were putting on the market.I do not remember where I got the Sherani but my guess is that my sister gave it to me. I believe I had had it several months before trying it. Now I ran it down on Amazon and of course they had it. I had never heard of it before. I like long, thick lustrous lashes. I want them to be dramatic and accentuate my eyes and expression (doesn't everyone!?) especially if I am going out in the evening or for a special occasion. This mascara is THICK and lush. It also doesn't cake but goes on evenly lash by lash. Unbelievable. It also doesn't seem to run like some do. I LOVE IT. I've been using it for about two weeks now and it shows no signs of giving out. The price beats by half others I've tried and does ten times the job. I gave it five stars because it doesn't advertise that it makes lashes longer/grow longer (even though I believe they do look longer anyway). If you want the ones that make lashes literally longer this may not be the one for you but even then it's worth a try. However, it does what it is designed to do at an A+++ rating in my opinion. I like that it uses one word MAGNIFIED to describe itself. They must have excellent writers as well. A better word could not have been chosen.

I thought it was thick and clumpy. Didn't do much for me at all.

I have used sherani for years with contacts. It is the only mascara that doesn't make my eyes burn/feel sore after a couple of hours. I'm so happy that I found it on amazon after my favorite beauty supply store went out of business.If you have never tried this mascara before you should know it starts a bit wetter then store brands, so it can be messy when your not used ti it, but when its wet it cleans up very easy with contact solution or even water and a Qtip.

too thick to apply...seemed dried out

Been buying it for years, it never smears as long as you don't wear a lot of cream under your eyes!

Makes my lashes look much longer, no clumps at all which Really gives you the natural eyelash look!

I may have just gotten an older tube of mascara. Not sure why it didn't seem to meet expectations.
