I have been using this mascara for a few weeks now and have found it to be really good in terms of price-quality ratio. Intense black color. When new, it can be a bit challenging to use, as the color comes out too much and it is too wet. Then the color can easily clump, and layering doesn't work. After a few weeks of use, it becomes more user-friendly. The color stays put. It doesn't flake or run down under the eyes throughout the day. It holds up well during sweaty workouts and heavier gym sessions or even an hour of afternoon napping. It also didn't give in to the humid autumn weather. It didn't hold up on the massage table. The colors spread to the cheeks. Cleaning the mascara isn't exactly easy. With micellar water, you have to scrub for quite a while to get the colors off, and still, something might remain when you wake up with dark circles under your eyes. I have cleaned the colors with a gel-like facial cleanser. That works well.
