Love this product. Have been using it for years! Makes nice long lashes (I have shorter lashes on one eye, but it makes them look the same length). The brush is narrow, lets me come very close to the roots of the lashes without smudging.
This was disappointing. The wand is nice and can accommodate short or sparse lashes. There was no strong smell and no eye irritation for me. My lashes looked better without anything than with this. I found it only marginally better than Sky High regarding smudging.
