As someone who has been in the cosmetics industry ( formulator) , I will say that this could be a nice mascara, but… the package is wrong. The amount that ends up on the wand is way too much. I wipe the excess off back into the tube, but if I am not really careful, I still get excess and then major clumping on my lashes. Solution? Lancôme just needs to add a wiper to this product which will take off the excess when taking the wand out of the tube. I tried this one when it first came out and didn’t buy for a few years. After trying again, I’m done with this one .
