Would you buy this product again? YES!!!

I've been searching for my HG mascara for FOREVER - and even though I found something I liked, I would always try others just because I knew that there was something better out there. For awhile I was a faithful Maybelline Full 'N Soft user but I found something better - Almay's One Coat Nourishing Triple Effect mascara. The black is a TRUE black - some black drugstore mascaras are either a very soft black (and almost unnoticeable!

) or the color "ashy" but this stuff isn't! It is a nice rich black. The brush is different from other mascaras, too. One side has short bristles that you use to volumize and the other side has longer bristles that you use for lengthening. This gives my long and beautifully-defined lashes! I probably wouldn't recommend this for night time but it gives just enough "oomph" for day time! I think the waterproof version holds curl better imo and the waterproof formula STAYS PUT! I hope Almay never ever EVER discontinues this!

Would you buy this product again? Yup..

It's a pretty darn good mascara. I actually bought it while in the states a whiiiile back and I read this review and I was thinking of buying a new volumizing mascara for the daytime.. (Hypnose=intense) and i've been using Great Lash.. that pink and green bottle of evil.. only 'cause someone bought it for me waaay back.
Anywhoo.. I have this in Rasin and I guess i forgot about it 'cause I was hoping for colored mascara.. (which I have yet to find.. ) but.. I didn't even know that's how the brush was shaped so I tried it again and someone asked me if those were my real lashes.
Not too sure about the lengthening but I already have long lashes. I also would like to point out that I already have pretty full lashes.
One thing that bugged me with the lengthening was that it clumped my longer lashes in one place.. but that might have been because great lash didn't come off properly from yesterday..
Pretty good mascara!
