Sweed Lash Lift

I have the brown version of this and I definitely don't like it. I don't know how everyone uses these but he picks up way too much product, all lashes are tangling together, super lumpy. Too bad because I had high hopes. I watched some tutorials with this mascara because I thought I was doing something wrong or something. But the result remains the same. It stays in the closet here.

I've seen this mascara come by on the internet every now and then, but I don't know if it works well. I hope to get a lash lift effect... Does that work with this one too?
