Works great but a little messy

This mascara does exactly what it says. It doesn’t need much of a shake and most of the excess product is scraped off the spoolie back into the tube. The spoolie isn’t too thick so you can easily do your bottom lashes but it still gives amazing volume and layers easily. My only issue is that sometimes there’s a large clump of product on the end of the spoolie after the mascara is shaken but it’s easily fixed by scraping it off inside the tube stopper. Although it isn’t waterproof, it is long lasting so I don’t have to worry about it transferring onto my face throughout the day. I prefer it over the maybelline false lash effect mascara in the flat purple tube because it gives me more volume and is much easier to take off whether I’m using a makeup cleansing wipe or a cleansing facial wash. I would recommend it for anyone on a budget that likes to have dramatic lashes with only mascara.
