This review is based on the trial size not the full tube so I am unsure if there would work differently. I found that this mascara did last all day and give nice length and some volume to my lashes. I did find that it was a bit difficult to remove with my Bioderma make-up remover, I prefer a mascara that is more easily removed so there isn't so much pull on my eye. It also has a plastic wand which may bother some people but does not really bother me but I did find that the spacing of the bristles did allow for more clumping of my eyelashes together which I don't like. What really would stop me from buying this in a full size is the packaging, again not sure if the full size is different, you basically pull apart the tube instead of twisting it off, there also does not seem to be a very good stopper in the tube so the wand comes out with a huge glob of mascara on the tip with of course gets everywhere when trying to apply it on place it back in the tube. I found this to be a very messy tube.
