Upon first glance, the brush on this mascara is pretty darned scary, as a certain medieval weapon comes to mind. The spherical brush is designed to grab every single lash and hit it from all angles, resulting in lush, gorgeously curled and separated lashes. Essentially, this mascara is intended to fan out the lashes, and open your eyes up really wide. The turquoise is the perfect fit for summer sunshine, and the waterproof formula ensures your mascara won't flake or melt.
Getting the hang of this one is tricky. It feels counter-intuitive to have this coming near your eye, and the brushes handle it very thick which makes it a bit difficult to maneuver in the beginning. The best way to apply this (for me at least) was to hold the brush perpendicular to the lash base and drag up slowly. Wiggling here might result in an eyeful of mascara, so move slowly! Once you become accustomed to both the brush and the method, you will come to find that you really do grab each and every lash, resulting in an impressive panoramic effect with lashes that are beautifully separated and curled. Applying it has become second nature to me, and I find myself reaching for that chubby tube of turquoise goodness often.
