I got just recently got 2 different colors of this mascara for free, as they were on sale and i had coupons... I was excited to have mascaras of different color as I usually only wear black. They average around 8 dollars which isn't bad but I absolutely hated this product. I love almay eye shadows so i was shocked how disappointing these were. The colors were gorgeous but the wand was hard to use and almost hurt my eyes, it tugged on my lashes and didn't leave a very full looking lash. This has never happened to me before. The plum shade seems to be worse than the sapphire.
