I received this mascara as a free gift with the purchase of a Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick at Clicks. The colour was Blackest black which was a rich black colour. The formula is very thin and runny so I had to dab off the excess on a tissue. The brush is very small and similar to a Charlie mascara I had seen before. It adds good colour, a little length but no real volume. It is quite buildable and can be layered numerous times before clumping. It washes off easily with water and face wash. I ended up giving this to a younger cousin of mine who was just starting out using mascara and found the bigger brushes hard to use. She likes it but I found that it didn't give me the effect I expect from my mascara. I wouldn't recommend it to more savvy mascara users who want more oomph for their money.
