This deluxe sample was trash. I’m not sure if it was the sample of if it’s just how this mascara is. I couldn’t get much product on the brush, but the brush is also very unique/odd, so maybe there was product, but the brush being the way it is, it was hard to get any product on my lashes. The brush is pretty big for a plastic brush, it’s thick, but the bristles are sure short and there’s sooo many on them. They just seem to bend and do nothing in separating my lashes. They just looked more clumped and nothing good. A few times I did pair it with the Diorshow Maximizer primer (it has the same plastic brush) which is did not help, that jus man my few lashes clump even more together. The only good thing about it, is that is doesn’t have a strong mascara scent at all.
