Ah, BareMinerals my old friend, you really never fail me, do you? This mascara ($18.00 for 0.33 oz) has a brush that reminds me a lot of CHANEL's Inimitable Intense, which makes both wands great for not stabbing my eye (a small plus). The formula does not smell profusely, and I'm appreciative for that since my eyes will water easily at something too strong near the socket.
