I had heard so many great things about this mascara I just had to go out and get it. I went to walmart and it was on sale for $6.95. Good deal since i normally pay about 10 for one. I chose the colour glam brown to make my blue eyes pop. It comes in a bright yellow tube with purple writing I like the packaging its very glam. The brush is a big one with lots of bristles and shows no visible clumping. The formula itself is a very wet one which is good in some ways because it won't dry up as quick as non wet one. When i applied the formula to my lashes I realized two things. 1. the smell was awful! it was like they had put a floral roseish smell, I never realized that mascara had a smell before but this was just gross. 2: it wasn't quick drying and left little dots where my eyelashes met my brow bone. As for the results it left mty lashes seperated and volumious and lengthened a bit too. What i didnt like was it didnt provide enough volume at the root where you need it most and it didnt coat the light tips of my lashes. All in all its a good mascara and a good deal and I will continue to repurchase this.    -
