Not the best, not the worst

This mascara is solidly ok to me - and for $25, I expect better.

Background: Very active, very long/thick lashes (Latisse!), live in a super dry climate (usually struggle with flaky mascara over smudging)

Previous go-to mascara has been Maybelline Lash Sensational and the Clinique Fit honestly quite comparable (although way different types of brushes). I have to brush out quite a few clumps with Fit and it has come off on to my face during my workouts. I think it's because it comes off best with water (not quite in tubes but it does stay together sort of) and I am a sweaty beast. I also have to wipe off black bits from my eyebrow line throughout the day and have minor flaking on the lower lash line. I will say, it's not irritating to my contact lensed eyes, so that's good..
