I bought this to replace the amazing Ruby and Millie mascara I got free off the front of a magazine. But it is, frankly, shit. I am pretty long and thick of lash already, and I curl pre-application, so I give my mascara an easy ride. But this wishy-washy rubbish somehow manages to make my eyelashes look worse. It kind of skews them off to one side, clagging and clogging as it goes, without ever really adding any density of colour. At the same time, it gets all over your eyelids even if you are an expert applier and don’t get the wand anywhere near them. Then, within half an hour, it all starts flaking off so you end up with sort of black dandruff under your eyes which, if you rub it, smears everywhere so you look both dirty and exhausted. And this morning I cried when I failed my driving test, and the damn stuff just liquified and slid straight off – waterproof my arse. My arse is more waterproof.

Upshot is, I’ll be using it for now, but as soon as I get my hands on some decent mascara, I will be actually binning this, and I almost never bin makeup before it’s actually run out. I’d advise the rest of you to save your pennies and not both with this stuff.
