I had used this mascara twice and on both occasions, it left my eyelashes feeling stiff to the point that it hurt when I blinked and as a contact lense wearer my eyes felt dry and often found the mascara flaking and falling into my eye which was quite uncomfortable and dangerous. it is also difficult to remove with the makeup removing wipes or pads and had to use and oil based makeup remover to get it out as it was stuck on the next day even after I used makeup removing wipes and facewash the night before and in the morning,
