This product allows you to click the base to add more mascara to the wand depending on how flashy you want your lashes to appear. The maximum "click" setting is a 3. I suppose 1 is work appropriate, 2 is for a night on the town and 3 is for a bachelorette party.

Let's put it this way; I'm using my old wand after I apply the Almay mascara so that my lashes don't stick together. And that's only with setting number 1.

The actual mascara is great. My lashes look fabulous and it doesn't flake. But I really don't like the brush. The bristles are too short and the mascara is very gunky. That combination doesn't distribute the product as fully as I would like and leaves clumps at the base of my lashes.
