This is a nice mascara that actually does what it claims. My lashes look much thicker after a coat or two. It's easy to remove from my lashes and doesn't make them brittle. The only drawback is that it gets very clumpy after a week. I've found that wiping the wand with a tissue helps, but sometimes I also have to clean it with soap and water. It's a good product, but you shouldn't have to take the time to clean the wand off every time you want to wear mascara.
