Advantages: Vibrant colour, funky packaging
Disadvantages: dries up quickly, clumpy, hard to apply
I bought this mascara in "indigo", a nice bright purple. People have often commented that my eyelashes are a gorgeous colour when wearing this and the look is pleasingly dramatic. I also absolutely adore the packaging, so colourful and funky! It looks great in my make up bag. However, those are the only good things I can say about it. The mascara is supposed to make your lashes full and fat. Well, it definitely delivers this, if by fat they mean gunked up and clumpy. The mascara seems to be very thick and doesn't apply easily, quite a few strokes are needed to get full coverage, by which time some lashes are starting to stick together. I also found that the wand gets clogged up very quickly, and the mascara becomes dry (despite my avoision of "pumping" the wand- a crime when it comes to mascara). Despite being so clumpy and dry, it is still quite useable, but now I tend to use it just to colour the tips of my eyelashes, after using a simple black mascara all over. This gives me a funky, vibrant look without getting little purple crumbs underneath my eyes. A fun mascara, but I'd suggest only buying it if you're after a party mascara. For everyday use, it just doesn't cut it.
Summary: Good for parties, not suitable for everyday use.
