Always wary of new mascara, it's a product I don't like to experiment with. Was binging on Clinique at Bealls and saw the NYX display. My favorite mascara was getting pretty low and I dread buying a new one, so for $7 if it was crap, I didn't loose much. I'm afraid of mascara wands! They look scary and my sensitive eyes are scared of new formulas. The brush in this one is very scary looking (stiff and sharp plastic bristles, like a spiked club with a spiked ball at the tip) but does an amazing job. My eyelashes are extremely long, but very light. This grabbed all of them, from root to tip and deposited the color evenly without much clumping. The unusual tip of the wand coated and separated my lower lashes beautifully, without smearing under my eye. It didn't weigh them down, I didn't need to curl them at all. I was pleasantly surprised. The formula dried fast and didn't flake. It was difficult to remove at the end of the day, eventhough it wasn't waterproof. I don't look to NYX for mascara, mostly lipstick. I will probably repurchase because of the price, it performs just as well as more expensive ones. I also like that NYX sells a separate waterproofing coating you can appy over any mascara when you want it to be, double duty and less products.
