I really wanted to try this mascara and the travel size was perfect for that purpose. Also, if you are like me and don’t use mascara every day this size is actually better than a full size. I love the bristles on the wand, which combined with the formula result in nice, defined, but not clumpy lashes. I would say it’s more of a natural look mascara, so if you need super flashy lashes this is probably not what you need. I have short, brown eyelashes, just for reference.
