This mascara is awesome!  I totally love it.  The brush is like a way better version of Covergirls Lash Blast mascara brush.  The brush grabs my lashes, separates them and adds volume at the same time – it does what a mascara SHOULD do.  The smudge factor is excellent, especially on my oily eyelids.  I barely had any sign of product under my eyes at the end of the day. I give it a solid A.
