Not as good as I thought

The girl at sephora suggested me this mascara as she saw my short blond lashes and said to me this is her favorite and the cheaper ( aroud 16$ the mascara). At that I price, I decided to gave it a try. The first time I used it, it was just ok... Then I tried to use it more often and it gets worse. My lashes look like spider webs and all glue together as I just put anoter coat to my first one. The wand is big and the brush is in plastic and I have very much difficulties using plastic want as I look like Alice Cooper after finishing doing my lashes. For me, it was a total mess. Probably, this isn't the best mascara for beginners like me.
