(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I bought this Gucci mascara a couple of months ago and only opened it recently, only to discover that it came without a wiper/stopper in the tube. Because of this manufacturing defect, the wand comes out covered in way too much product, making it almost impossible to use. Very disappointed given the price point.

Love Gucci! The quality is there, the presentation this mascara comes in keeps it fresh longer than any mascara I've ever owned. I had to force myself to throw out one (in their other formula) simply because I'd had it too long but it never dried out nor did it run out. This speaks volumes of the quality. Therefore, I do not understand the negative reviews. I initially tried Gucci's other formula and liked it, so I bought both when they went on sale and I LOVE this one! It has given my sparse lashes a makeover. The bristles on Gucci mascaras are unmatched. These are great for thinning lashes due to aging. Trust me! The added volume and some length is evident without any clumping or fallout which is hard to find these days. I will say, it's a little hard to wash off but not as difficult as another beloved mascara, the lash clash, by a different brand.
