i have been giving this mascara a while to prove itself.

when i received it, i was very excited to do the review. I was going to use it straight away, and then review it the next day. Unfortunately my reviewing had been put on hold, and i am glad in a way, because it gave me more time to get to know the product.

The appeal of the product is what i think draws the potential buyers to buy it, although, unfortunately, it is just like every other mascara.

I was unfortunately not pleased with the messiness of the mascara - it brings out too much of the liquid, and deposits it at the top of the tube where the lid screws on.

if you are a person with small eyes, such as myself, applying this mascara means keeping your eyes wide open, having to make sure that you don't mess mascara where it need not be, and the big applicator proves to be a problem getting to the smaller lashes.

It also takes a while to dry, leaving you with those "dots and lines" just below your brow.

Maybe the formula is different, but the applicator always makes the mascara.

The positive is - it doesn't run or smudge :)
