I bought this out of curiosity (and the price was really cheap :), and was kinda disappointed. I love the big brush as it makes for better application and it really does thicken and lengthen lashes quite nicely. The let down here is that I don't like the quality of the formula. I felt that it clumped and was extremely flaky. I wear contacts so to keep getting bits of mascara in my eyes was beyond annoying, not to mention to have a constant trail of black dots on my face was irritating. Not a fan
