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.
Love this product, I find most mascara from cover girl are good but this one is one of my all time favourites, lengthens and thicks my lashes. Amazing would recommend for anyone!
