I usually buy more expensive mascara, but I had this as a present so thought I'd give it a go. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it is.

DESCRIPTION:
The most colossal lashes in just one coat.
* Lush collagen-enriched plumping formula and Mega Brush instantly build 9X volume, without clumps
* Contact lens safe and ophthalmologist-tested
* Washable, also available in Waterproof formula

DIRECTIONS:
Sweep brush from root to tip to plump lashes and achieve dramatic volume. Do not let dry between coats. Removes easily with soap and water or eye make up remover.

PRICE: You can get this on the high street for around £7, or slightly cheaper online.

PACKAGING: It comes in a bright yellow and metallic colour scheme, which is really handy as it stands out amongst the blacks and greys of my make up bag!

This product claims to add up to 9x more volume instantly. I'm not sure about 9x but it did definitely add a lot more volume. My eyelashes are thin and short, so I need a decent mascara to make them stand out. I usually spend at least £15 on mascara, so I wasn't expecting big things from this one. In the past cheaper mascaras have worn off quickly, clumped my eyelashes together or left black rings under my eyes. This does none of those things.

For the price I was really happy with this mascara. It's long lasting and makes my eyelashes look both thicker and longer. It's easy to apply and doesn't clump. I have been using mine pretty much every day for 4 months and am still continuing to use it. So it's well worth it. I will be using this from now on - and saving myself a bit of money in the process!
