Advantages: Cheap, ok for main lashes.

Disadvantages: Hard to reach corners, can clump lashes.

I bought this mascara when it was first brought out, as it timed with the running out of my old one. It was on offer in Boots and I bought it for around £6.

The brush is very thick, which allows it to give even coverage to most of your lashes, but it is very difficult to reach your eyelashes in the corner of your eye, as the brush is too big to fit. I also found that it clumped a few of my lashes together.

It did work when I put a base coat of Vaseline on my eyelashes as it allowed the mascara to glide on. But it still didn't allow the mascara to live up to it's name.

As I have quite short eyelashes, it just made them look quite heavy and stumpy, so I was disappointed with this product. It's quite cheap, but Rimmel do some excellent alternatives in the same price range, so in the future I will give them a try.

I would recommend this product to anyone with naturally long eyelashes that just need definition or colour.

Summary: This doesn't live up to it's name, don't buy if you have very short eyelashes.
