I bought the expensive mascara. No complaints about the mascara itself but the tube is defective. From the beginning, I had difficulty inserting the wand and eventually I couldn't insert it at all. I always assumed the tight fit was to keep too much mascara from gathering on the wand. I admit the product is a year old, but it never worked right from the beginning. Although I rarely used itI am stuck with an unusable full tube of Arbonne mascara. I'dnever buy it again, especially since customer service refused to help. They said it was too old but I offered to send the full two back so they can see it was rarely used.The sales rep however was delightful and made for an enjoyable presentation.
