Advantages: Excellent brush, separates lashes with no clumping.

Disadvantages: Flakes rather badly after a few applications.

I noticed that my teenage step daughters were using this product and as their eye lashes always looked thick and striking I decided to try it. When I first started using it I was impressed. However after a few weeks I noticed that the mascara was starting to flake on to my face and collect in the corner of my eyes. I wonder if this was caused by opening the container regularly to apply the product - maybe it dried it out slightly. I was disappointed because I loved the applicator as it grabbed the lashes well without clumping. If you can put up with the flaking and people pointing out you have black bits on your cheeks, the product itself applies well and thickly. I have now changed mascaras, but still use the brush when I am going out in the evening and want my eyes to make an impact!

Summary: Not a bad buy but doesn't tick all the boxes.
