Was really excited when i received this mascara as the packaging was really swanky and mod. The colour was a surprise because at first i thought it was a shade of brown but when i used it i could see it was a shade of like browny-plum colour. The wand tip is really fantastic as it bends with the stroke of the eyelash and the brissles actually move with the hair. The bristles are actually great too as they are act like a comb and move between the lashes quite nicely to avoid any clumping. This mascara is a winner for day and night because it as not as harsh as black during the day but sultry enough to wear at night with a smokey eye. LOVE IT
