So, I was pretty excited when I received this product in the post as I am a bit of a mascara junkie. On the first try I did poke myself in the eye with the applicator. Once you get the hang of it though, it's pretty nifty. I really love the volume and definition I get with this mascara. The only drawback is the price. There are a lot of other products that will give you the same results for less money. All-in-all this is a great product.
