I was thrilled to find this mascara, and a faithful purchaser for awhile. However, the last two tubes I purchased from different stores in the last six months were not usuable after two months. It seems the glue does not last that holds the placsitc parts together: the wand just swils around in the socket up inside the cap, and it is impossible to hold it in place to apply the mascara without getting the mess all over your fingers; also, the inner tube itself slips out of the outer, packaging tube. At 25.99 a pop, I'm going elswhere. Anyone know of a rival organic/natural brand of great non-clumping, non-smearing mascara?
