I've used this product for several years after being a fan of Estee Lauder's mascara for as long as I can remember. My lashes nearly touch my eyebrows when I use "They're Real!". Thickens, lengthens and is easy to remove. Expensive but well worth it! A tube lasts for quite a while. I do not use mascara daily, so one tube lasts several months. I forget how nice the fresh product is when applied. Goes on very easily and dries quickly to avoid smudging. No issues with this product! Excellent in every way.
