The new mascara (new to the U.S. anyway) is a new take on the mascara wand. The design is a round ball with spikes all over it. It's similar to the Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes mascara. The first time I wore this mascara I was a little annoyed because on one eye I had some really long spiky lashes and on the other eye I had regular looking lashes. I was not happy but I figured I need to get use to this new wand before I go making any rash decisions. The second time I tried the mascara, I was much more happy with the results. Although this mascara doesn't give my lashes great length, (actually it probably does have the potential to since I ended up with a few long spiky lashes the first time) or great volume, I like this mascara because it does get to those hard to reach lashes and it gives a nice no-clump coating to the bottom lashes. Overall, the look is pretty natural. I haven't decided if I would re-purchase this but it's definitely worth a try.
