I've been on the hunt for a waterproof mascara that actually stays put, and 3INA's The Volume Mascara promised just that. The first thing I noticed was the brush—it's huge! At first, I was intimidated, but after a few tries, I got the hang of it. The zigzag application tip from the brand really helped in separating my lashes without clumping.

One coat gives a natural yet defined look, perfect for everyday wear. But if you're like me and love dramatic lashes, two coats amp up the volume without turning your lashes into spider legs. The best part? It truly is waterproof. I wore it through a rainy afternoon, and not a single smudge or flake in sight.

However, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. The formula is on the thicker side, so if you’re not careful, it can feel a bit heavy on the lashes. And while the big brush gives volume, it’s tricky to reach those tiny corner lashes without poking yourself in the eye.

Overall, if you’re after bold, long-lasting lashes that can survive tears (or rain), this mascara delivers. Just be patient with the application—precision is key!
