For a cheap alternative it's ok. I found it flaked a lot though. However, it had great coverage and really made my lashes stand out.

Not too bad for Hard Candy!

I am really surprised that I like this mascara. No clumping. My lashes look fuller, longer and lifted. The formula was a bit drier than others I have but it may just work for this product. (or my tube was older). I look like I wear falsies when I wear this.
The wand is plastic and has small bristles and it curves slightly.
