I purchased the mini size of this product and have not been able to make it work as I had hoped based on other reviews. Large clumps come out on the wand, between the bristles and the handle, so when the wand is reinserted into the tube, those clumps came up around the threads and have made a mess of my tube and wasted product. I’ve only used it 3 times, and it got messy quickly. As for the mascara itself, it doesn’t show up in my lashes with just one coat. A second coat at least makes it visible, but I can’t agree that it’s lengthening at all. I also tried the mini of the volumizing mascara (earlier this year) and it was dried up. I like some of the other ILIA products that I have tried, but due to the inconsistency of mascara quality I will not be repurchasing.
