This is the most expensive mascara I have ever bought and quite honestly the worst. I have used other MAC cosmetics and found them to be good quality and effective. The neck of the tube is too large and when you take the mascara wand out of the tube it is heavily loaded with thick clumpy mascara. The only way I could use it was to apply it and then separate my lashes with an old mascara brush. By the end of the day I also had 'panda' eyes where the mascara had smudged onto my skin.
