I have been using the Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lengthening Masacara early this year, and been really loving it. I got the sample size tube so it's different packaging from the full sized one.
Product Info from Estee Lauder
Extreme wear. Extraordinary length.
Extreme wear. Extraordinary length.
Unstoppable power-now the smudge-free lash look you see in the morning is the look you keep all day.
THE LOOK
Long, smudge-free lashes, expertly separated.
THE BRUSH
Lash-Xtender™* Brush elongates, separates and surrounds each lash in glossy, intensified color.
THE BRISTLES
Micro-fiber bristles go deep into lash bed to comb and detangle lashes for super separation from root to tip. Lashes channel through the brush's saturated core for a rich coating of pigment.
THE FORMULA
Smudge-Shield™* formula with innovative polymers locks in the mascara to keep it on lashes and off you. Resists high temperatures, high humidity and perspiration.
THE WEAR
Lasts 15-hours-without smudging, flaking or wearing away. Warm water and cleanser unlocks the formula and removes every last trace. (Eye makeup remover works too.)

the mascara applicator
What I like about it...
* the shape and size of the applicator is perfect, I really like how it separates my lashes
* lengthens and volumizes my lashes really well
* clump - free
* doesn't flake
* holds the curl of my lashes really well
* fragrance free
* definitely lasts for hours, I usually apply this at 8 in the morning till I get home at night around 7pm
* smudge proof, there are times that just rub my eyes forgetting that I have mascara on and this doesn't budge, smudge or smear at all.
* no irritation or itchiness experienced
* my lashes also did not become brittle, unlike cheaper ones I've tried before.
* very easy to remove, it comes off easily either by using makeup remover or facial cleanser
What I don't like...
* a little pricey but definitely worth it.
My rating: 5 / 5
my natural lashes
After applying the mascara
with and without mascara
I did not curl my lashes when I applied the mascara so that you can really see the difference.
I honestly really love the formulation of this mascara. It lasts all day and it doesn't flake. Another major plus is it's unscented. Some mascaras just have that certain chemical smell every time you open the tube. Another thing that I noticed is that, the Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero-Smudge Mascara does not dry up fast. I opened this tube last January and have been using it almost everyday since then. It has already been 4 months and it has not dried up at all.
So, I would recommend this to you ladies, especially to those who love to try out high end mascaras. You will definitely get your money's worth.
Until next time.
Cheerios!
