First, it took almost a month for this product to arrive.  Once it did, the packaging was a bit crushed (inner packaging, not the outside) and almost appeared to have been used (no seal on product box or the actual mascara).  I tried it anyway and liked it fine the first day or so -- until I developed a lot of eye irritation.  I have never had an issue with any mascara before and do not have overly sensitive skin/eyes.  I stopped using it and switched to another mascara for a few days.  The irritation went away.  I decided to give this one a second chance just to be sure there was not something else causing the irritation -- nope, it was this mascara.  I tossed it in the trash.
