So surprised to read bad reviews of this. I don't wear a lot of makeup but mascara is a daily staple for me. I've tried a good few - Chanel -meh, Dior - neh, YSL - smeared like crazy.... LOVED Lancome...

Mascara is the only thing I always use every day, no matter what, so I will splurge...bought it for myself and my best friend but we both had the same problem: it DOES smudge very quickly, feels oily ...
