This is one of the best mascaras I've used- Even better than pricier brands I've tried like Lancome! I saw these sample sizes on sale at the pharmacy clearanced out for $.25, so I bought a handfull of the mascaras and lipsticks for stocking stuffers for my neices. Well as it turns out I opened one to try it for myself and just love it. The thing I like is that it doesn't clump, and it has a great brush. This means that application is super easy and you don't need a bunch of cotton swabs and kleenexes to dab up the messy globs that clumpier mascaras make. Lashes will look long and silky, but don't expect it to do any thickening. While results aren't super-dramatic, the payoff of ease of use and natural look is well worth it.
