Maybelline Great Lash Mascara Review

I was gifted this product as a 12 year girl, I might pf actually got it in a magazine one time and I thought I had hit the jackpot. I was learning about make-up application and so on and thought this product was great. It was easy to apply, the brush was small and simple with no complex added bits to it, so it was apply the mascara and go. It was as simple as that. The RRP back then was a lot lower than it is now, but it is was a great product. I would recommend it to be a beauty go to for those who are starting out using make up and those who are just practicing, seeing what they like and what they don't.It doesn't give much definition to they lash but it is good for a starter or for a girl in highschool who wants to wear barely there coverage of makeup.

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.

I've used this mascara a few times. It's not too pricey and coated well on my natural lashes. I found it didn't clump and I love how it conditioned while it thickened my natural lashes. I've always had barely no lashes and this mascara gave them volume, I noticed.

I think this is a good everyday mascara that's affordable. It does smudge, I noticed so be aware of that, other than that, this mascara is alright.

One of the first mascaras I've owned. Still have it in my collection but prefer the Magnum one instead. It's a good cover after one application but I've found it dries up fairly quickly.

I remember the first time that I actually purchased this mascara, it was about 7-8 years ago i was in high school, and i was at a supermarket and i was in the magazine and Cleo or Girlfriend or one of those teen magazine had this as its freebie, so i brought the magazine and got the mascara, and thought cool i got a free mascara, and as i got older and the years went by this mascara was always used and loved and repurchased, because it such a great volumizing, basic, no clump mascara, even when it got down to the last few days of life, it wouldn't clump it would just be smooth, va va voom mascara. It was just simple, it worked it didnt have any fancy scientific claims or anything like that i think it deserves all the hype it gets. I still use this today, but i use it over a lengthening waterproof mascara because this mascara is not lengthening.

I have this mascara in both blackest black, and clear. It is a classic mascara and I think it may have been one of the first mascaras that I ever tried. I picked up the blackest black from Farmers and I thought with something this popular it had to be great. The clear version I got my parents to pick this up for me in the States as I really wanted to try it for my brows.

The bottle is extremely classic. The bottom square part that is light pink, and the green top. I love green and pink together. The bottom of the clear one is transparent so there is no mixing them up (which could save some terribly embarrassing moments). The brush is pretty simple. Just a small natural bristle brush in a spinning pattern. It is quite small so it makes it easy to get to the inner most lashes and the bottom lashes.

I find the formulation of the mascara quite wet. This coats my lashes quite nicely, but really it doesn't do much else. It doesn't add any volume at all, it does lengthen. But that is about it. Mostly it just coats the lashes, making them extra black and a wee bit thicker. It also smudged under my lashes which is annoying, but I could solve this problem by getting the waterproof version. I do get my lashes tinted monthly so I feel like this mascara doesn't do much more than getting my lashes tinted.

I like the clear version for my brows. The brush does keep quite a lot of product on it though so it is good to take that off before applying to the brows. It does keep my brows in the position that I want but also leaves them a wee bit crunchy. I like though that the product seems to last a long time, I have heaps left in my tube and I have used it quite a lot. Obviously a design flaw is the clear bottom of the tube means that you see the clear gel get a bit murky from whatever brow powder you have been using. But that doesn't bother me.

Personally I think Maybelline do some other great mascaras for a really reasonable price, this isn't one of them. If you are after a natural lash look just get your lashes tinted then you won't even have to do them each day.

Was alright. Didnt make much difference.did 3 coats then yet, i guess this mascara isn't for.everyone.

Soooooo I tried this mascara the day that I bought it. I didn't really like it so I sort of left it out for like, months I'd say? By then it had sort of dried out and gotten a bit old. For some random reason I used it and loved it! It was so random but I used it more often after that. Really did seperate my lashes even as it was dry hehe
