Along with the lipstick samples I ordered, I decided to give Paula's new mascara a try. My lashes are fairly full and most mascaras usually do the trick for them. Well, this one is definatly an exception. My first problem was with the packaging. This mascara (with shipping) is about $11.00. That is not a cheap mascara. The packaging, however, is less impressive than some $2.00 mascaras I've seen! Well, I thought, the product is more important than the packaging anyway. So, I tried the mascara and believe me, the performance is no better than the packaging. I could not get any length out of my lashes, let alone "epic lengths". It also doesn't build AT ALL so if you have thin lashes this is NOT the product for you. Incidentally, I ordered brown so maybe the black is better but I doubt it. This mascara really needs to be reformulated or renamed "Natural Looks Mascara"!
