Decent

To me, this is decent mascara. The brush makes it easy to get every single, baby lash. The formula makes it very easy to get a nice, dark, full layer in one - two coats. And I love the brush, it's actually shaped like the tube. If you put on too much, or try and layer a lot, the mascara will flake. I personally think that this mascara is not the best if you are looking for a lot of volume. I think it is more of a lash definer than it is a volumizer. I am usually able to wear 1 coat for 3 hours, give or take, without flaking. But as I stated earlier, if you choose to wear more than 1 coat, flaking is more likely. I often will have little flakes all over my eyes after finishing my makeup if I put on 2-3 coats. I do not think this mascara is worth the nearly $30.00 price tag. The packaging is very flimsy, my tube even had a nice chunk missing on the lid, and the wording fades very quickly, especially if you are like me and are traveling with makeup a lot. I would not re-buy this. Though I do admit the brush is nice and the formula is quite pigmented, it is just not right for adding a lot of layers, nor is it good for those who are active.
