I got this as a Xmas present 2 years ago and I still use the same tube every day. Yes, I know we're supposed to throw mascara out once its 2-3 months old but personally I think this is just a psychosocial construct created by the multi-billion dollar beauty industry to make consumers buy more than they really need. I haven't experienced any irritation that one would expect with bacterial growth, and while my tube is getting gradually dryer I find it still makes my lashes look full and natural - I suspect the brush should receive 90% of any plaudits, because its myriad tiny bristles seem to snatch up every lash.
This is the only mascara I have found that doesn't flake and make my eyes water, or make my eyelashes look obviously made-up, and when I'm cleansing my face I find water is sufficient to remove it all. The reasonable price is another plus.
Is this the same as the orange one? Yes? Brilliant, because that mascara is HANDS DOWN the best I have ever used in my entire life, hot damn! My lashes looked amazing and I loved the length it gave me. Not much volume, and I am DEFINATELY a volume girl, but I loved it none the less for something different. Cant wait to repurchase <3
