Used this for the first time this morning and wow...looks great!! I love having dramatic looking lashes but hate the hassle of putting on falsies, then worrying about them coming off all day. Fiber mascaras are the perfect solution.* Some reviews have complained about the brush: it is big on one end, but if you are pretty dexterous with your mascara skills that's no problem. It grabs the outer lashes well which is typically the look you're going for if you want a bold lash look.* Some reviews complained of the application being messy/sloppy: look, if you're getting "all up in there" to work through your lashes, get them all coated, and build volume, you are going to get this product (or any other mascara) on your lid...period. Simple fix: wait until your mascara is 100% dry and set, then go in with a wet q-tip to wipe away excess.* Some reviews complained of the fibers getting in their eyes: this did not happen to me, and I wear contacts. Zero irritation. The only way I could see the fibers getting in your eyes is if you are continuously poking your eyeball with the wand :'-)This stuff is super buildable! Tomorrow I am going to do 4 or 5 full coats to see what happens...can't wait! A tip: I alternate coats of this mascara coats of a different mascara for extra oopmh (try it). If you like trying new mascaras and want lashes that look fuller and longer, give this a try.
