Honestly, I was very weary about trying this mascara. I received in my stocking at Christmas, and was planning on just throwing it away because it's crazily inexpensive and I didn't figure that it was a very high quality product. Today I decided to test it out, and I'm pleasantly surprised with the results. While my lashes don't look super voluminous or thick, the serum goes on very well and makes my lashes look great. It's definitely worth the $4, and I would recommend it.
