I love this! In the drugstore, I was having a hard time choosing between that orange bottle covergirl stuff and this. I ended up choosing maybelline because of its awesome yellow packaging (i'm a sucker for those bright colors). I am so glad I bought this! The brush may be a bit too large to control precisely, but it makes for an even and natural coat, covering every lash. It gives me volume as well as length, without the messy clumping i usually experience. Also it comes off easily, which is a huge plus for me, I (unless I plan on swimming).
Only thing I don't like is the smell...some mascaras just stink more than others, and this is one of them (but maybe thats just me...).
Would def. buy again.

I don't usually spend over 6-7 bucks for nailpolish, but I was interested to see how this marker application thing would work. My hands are crazy shaky, and I thought something like this would help me get a clean, professional look. I decided on a bold orange colour, "Orange you fast."
When I first put it on, I was pretty disappointed. The whole "pump and paint" thing was kinda cool, but probably not worth the extra 5 bucks. The polish was really thin (probably part of the design, to let it seep to the brush faster or something) which made for quick drying time, but the colour was really weak, and I had to keep putting on more coats to get it the bright orange I had expected. Also, I had problems with the brush. The second coat went on really streaky, and its large size of it made it hard to control.
The last thing I was upset about was that it seemed like there was hardly any nail polish in there! Maybe it was because I had to keep putting on more coats, but after doing two hands and two feet, it seemed like there was hardly any left in there. We'll wait and see.
The only pros I can think of about this product is the convenient packaging (perfect for a purse, you can quickly touch up when it gets chipped during the day) and its ability to dry within a few minutes.
This might be better for others, but from now on i'll be sticking to the good ol' fashioned bottle.
