Hands down, this (Voluminous Butterfly Mascara) is by far my favorite mascara! The original formula is heavily pigmented and has the perfect consistency so you only have to use one coat (and still layers beautifully if you prefer a more dramatic look). I have thick, dark eyelashes with a slightly natural curl, however when I wear this mascara, it looks like I am wearing fake eyelashes. I always get tons of compliments and people don't believe that they are my real eyelashes! I've occasionally branched out in the past when I've ran out and need to replace my mascara, only to splurge $25+ for a tube of mascara and feel extremely disappointed with the results (and the waste of money).
