Advantages: Achieves long looking eye lashes

Disadvantages: Can end up with spindly looking eye lashes, irritated my eyes when wearing contact lenses

This product had been recommended to me from a number of friends even my mum who is the hardest make up to critic was raving about it so I thought that I would give it a go.

The packing is pretty standard for mascara. It's a thin tube which I like as it fits well in a make up bag, unlike some of the more bulky products. The wand is slightly angled and flexible. Being honest I felt that it was better for someone with shorter eye lashes and smaller eyes as I felt where it was angled just didn't fit with the shape of my eyes. The wand itself is also quite flimsy.

I have quite long eye lashes and it made them look even longer but volume wise. The mascara does give a black colour but for me not black enough for the look I like to achieve hence why I think I had issues with the thickness of my lashes when using this. My eye lashes looked nice but spindly and almost like long spiders legs, not long and full which is the look I like to be achieved from a mascara.

I wear contact lenses quite frequently. Although the mascara stated its suitable for contact lenses wearers this irritated my eyes. From putting the lenses in and the mascara on around 8am by 12pm my eyes started to feel itchy and I noticed that they looked a bit red. However on days I wore glasses my eyes were fine with the mascara.

Its good for achieving a natural look at definitely worth using if you want to lengthen your lashes.!!

Summary: Good for achieving length but not volume... priced very well
