I heard such rave reviews about this stuff, but I thought it was disappointing. It was very clumpy. I did like the brush on the wand, and I did get rich black color. It didn't smudge either. It didn't do anything as far as thickening or lengthening, and towards the end of the day it did start flaking. I have tried drugstore mascaras that performed better. I thought this was a waste of money, and don't plan on ever repurchasing it.
