Having only ever used lower end mascaras I wasn't sure I wanted to spend nearly £20 on a mascara being used to only spending £10 at the mose, so i read a few reviews on this before getting it and most said it was brilliant so i decided to go for it. It claims to volumise, lengthen, curl AND separate and that it does! the packaging is lovely and the wand is great particularly the little spikes on the end od the wand which make it easy to get your inner lashes. My eyelashes are not particularly long or and are definately not thick but 2 coats of this mascara does wonders, they look like false lashes! it does not clump and is easy to apply as it gets all of my lashes in one stoke. It tells you to wiggle the wand as you are applying the mascara which is what i do and it looks great. it does dry pretty quick so if you want more than one coat you have to be quick. As other people said it is difficult to remove so i would recommend getting a good eye make up remover. It is expensive at £18.50 but for me it is definately worth the price!
