It pleased me a lot, even though I didn't expect it. The positives include:

*Amazing waterproof action!! I went swimming with the mascara to test it, and even though when I came out of the water they had stuck together (normal), I lightly wiped them with a tissue and they were like new!! It didn't smudge or come off in the water. It was like I had just applied them.

*The brush doesn't pick up too much product, so they don't stick together too much. This also has its negatives.

~As long as they are wet, it is easy to comb them with a separate clean brush, so that they detach as much as possible.

As for the negatives:

*They don't provide much volume.
*If they dry unevenly, it is impossible to fix them without rinsing with makeup remover and reapplying.
*To achieve satisfactory results, it requires several coats and specific, patient handling.

For me, it worked well. I wanted a mascara that I could wear at the beach without running, and that would enhance my lashes, which are almost non-existent (short, thin, and light brown). I recommend it for anyone who wants a good waterproof mascara for demanding occasions.
