Then again, I'm always excited when I'm able to try new things but moving on...

My Review/Opinion:
When I first opened up the packaging and took one look at the brush, my first reaction was: "what the heck"? How is that going to work? The brush head reminds me of a old medieval spiked club. The bristles start off very short near the bottom and then eventually get longer in length as you get near the top (if that made any sense). Also in one section near the bottom there is hardly any bristles at all. Honestly. Some of the bristles are so short/small, I didn't see how they would help make a difference when trying to achieve maximize length. If I were to think of a positive about this brush it would be that there is a little bit of a curve but not a lot. Here is a picture of the brush close up to hopefully give you an idea:
As for the mascara itself, I have to say I wasn't loving it. It did seem to extend my lashes quite a bit but that was really only the good thing about this mascara. I found you really had to work with the brush to get the lashes to a point where they did look extended, but the more you try to work with it/add coats the more it clumped together. Also within a few minutes I had it flake a bit (not much) and drop down. It was easy enough to wipe off and thankfully I noticed before I headed out the door. It did seem to hold up well after that and one other thing it had going for it, was it was really easy to remove. No scrubbing thankfully.
Creepy Eye Time :)
Overall, I have to say this mascara was just okay. Would I go and buy it again? No, I probably will not. Just because I have had better luck with a different brand from the drug store in achieve volume that doesn't clump my lashes together.
