Maybelline Great Lash Mascara Review

Having heard so much about this well known beauty product I was excited to get the chance to try it. On its own this mascara is a very natural looking mascara and a couple of coats doesn't look over the top and I did find that it was suited for my bottom lashes and it didn't smudge which was really good. It's a beauty classic that you can't really go wrong with, it is clump free, smudge proof and is really buildable. Maybelline never seems to go wrong and this mascara is no exception.

I started using this mascara about 2 months ago, and while it does a beautiful job of making my eyelashs long and black, I have found that it very easily leaves clumps of product on your lashes. However this can easily be removed by using a clean mascara brush... I like some of my other mascaras a lot more, but this is good enough for the small price.

This was my very first mascara and at the time, I loved it! For a couple of years it was my go to mascara, I would try other ones but always come back to the ol faithful. Granted this was almost a decade ago, and mascara technology has come a long way since as well as my list of things I'm looking for in a mascara. I was visiting my family a couple of weeks ago and came across it in my little sister's makeup collection and decided to give it a try. It was a huge disappointment not because it was bad per se, but just because it wasn't as great as I had remembered it to be. I think it's a good basic mascara and as my little sister has naturally gorgeous lashes, it is a fine product for her but there is definitely better out there for the rest of us who aren't so blessed.

Good product, I do find myself buying it again because I know what it does. I like the way I get a small amount of coverage that I can build up with my own layers to get the desired look, a nice change from mascaras which overload on the first go! I do find it tends spread lashes well, but only with a few clumps. It comes off easily which is good, but it does tend to run occasionally so for this reason I don't use it as an everyday mascara. Always good to have around, reliable product!

The biggest drawcard for this mascara is how it is available in supermarkets. That is extremely handy when you are not near a pharmacy. I found it to be an okay product, nothing amazing, but reasonably priced too.

Not the best mascara out there, but for the price it's pretty good. Coverage good and long lasting.

You see this mascara everywhere, and unlike most of them, it seems to have stood the test of time! Too often, you find a great mascara, only to have them discontinued.

Maybelline Great Lash has been around since 1971, so it must be doing something right.

This was the very first mascara I ever owned, and while it's not the best, it's a great basic mascara that's super easy to apply. It gives you great lashes, without looking overdone.

This is such a classic, it was probably the first mascara I ever had. But compared to others now I don't find that it does what I need. The formula seems to dry out my lashes and just never has a fresh look.
