If you're starting to ease into makeup this is probably a good mascara to use. There are better, cheaper ones out there but this one is good as well. I purchased mine off fragrancesandcosmetics.co.nz and it was I believe $12 at the time? I can't fully remember.
I have long, straight eyelashes and it coats the lashes really well. The cone shaped applicator/brush is good for getting all the lashes coated from the inner corner to the outer corner and gives quite a bit of length (for me, anyway) and separation.
Downsides are that it doesn't give much volume or curl but if its a basic mascara you are looking for, this is the one for you.
I purchased this because the sales lady said it was the best there is. To be fair I thought it was OK.... not the best I have used. It doesn't clump but I didn't think it gave a lot of volume either.
