Brand : Urban Decay Cosmetics Product :  Double Team Special Effect Colored Mascara  Shade : Gonzo -  bright turquoise cream + metallic bright turquoise Cream - Left swatch in each pic Special Effect - Right swatch in each pic CRUELTY FREE Binxcat's Musing:  I was a little concerned about this mascara during swatching.  The cream side is fairly thin and "liquidy".  The special effect side is thicker with micro shimmer.  Both sides are intensely pigmented.  On wear, I recommend carefully wiping off the extra (cream side) on the mascara tube or the product tends to want to clump on application from too much product.  Wiping off the extra makes application just fine.  Both sides show color on my black lashes with no white primer first.  Wear was all day and I had no fallout or smudging.
