This mascara didn't live to my expectation after reading all the amazing benefits it supposed to provide for your lashes. Its consistence is a glue like- the mascara itself is not distributed evenly throughout the brush. It sort of sits on the end of the spike leaving nothing for the rest of it. The brush itself is cheap plastic with weird spike on the end which does nothing for my lashes except the constant threat to poke me in eye, Have gone back to my Favorite Lancome brand.
