I bought this mascara when I went down to the coast and forgot my make up bag at home. I wanted something reasonably priced with a nice full brush with loads of bristles. I must say that I found the brush dispensed a wee bit too much product for my liking, because it clumped on my lashes initially. I use another mascara brush afterwards to spread the product over all my lashes and make them separate. So even thought I have to almost apply it 'twice'. Its a well-price product that gives loads of volume.
