Maybelline mascaras don't usually "impress" me (I much prefer Covergirl) and this mascara wasn't any different. I find they all have the same formula, just different brushes that don't make any difference.
However, I use this as my everyday mascara as it gives natural looking lashes - they look long and black... but this mascara gives absolutely no volume. It doesn't smudge or flake though which is great.
I picked this up at a make-up sale for $10 which is a good price for it, and it's a way better alternative to cheap brands (jordana, bys, australis, $1 store brands). If you can get it at that price then give it a try, especially if you were looking for a good natural/everyday mascara and weren't looking to achieve voluminous lashes.
I found this to be a good average mascara, tends to get clumpy quickly and very easy to apply too much. Fantastic if you use with Maybeline Falsies.
Tips: Use another mascara to lengthen lashes with this to stop clumping.
