I mean, it's not the WORST one I've used

Ok so I have long dark lashes but the tips of my eyelashes are blonde...weird, I know. I've tried probably 100 different kinds of mascara in my life because I'm a makeup junkie so I try everything. I ALWAYS use eyeliner on bottom and outer top of my eyes as well. If I don't put mascara on, eyeliner ...will come down under y eyes horribly in a short time! I tried this and the purple one as well and this isn't the WORST mascara I've ever put on but I wore this today for the first time in a while and at the first part of the work day around 10-11am it was decent. I kind of layer my mascara and I expect it to cling to the tips too so I can achieve a long, full lash look almost like false lashes. I got that on the bottom but it just was not doing much for the top at all! My top lashes were fuller at the base and very thin at the tips! And OMG when I finally got a break at work and saw myself in the mirror, I looked like I hadn't slept in a year! I wasn't even doing anything to make my makeup melt off my face so I don't understand why the entire area under my eyes by 1pm came to look like a recreation of Uncle Fester from the Addams Family but I wish someone had told me how scary I looked! I can't even imagine what customers thought when they saw my face, they probably thought there was something wrong with me to have such horribly dark circles under my eyes lol! This mascara will literally melt off of your eyes in a matter of 3hrs OR LESS. No wonder I had this in the drawer looking all brand new...I forgot that this stuff literally grows legs and starts running away from your eyeballs! Y'all, don't buy this or the purple one!! They are both equally terrible and end up embarrassing you & melting off your face!!!
