This mascara used to be my go-to mascara. It has a good brush, and the actual mascara doesn't dry out in the tube so it lasts for ages (even though I know you are supposed to change your mascara every month or so, I don't!)
It does however get a little bit flaky during the day. I now use Jordana Extreme lash as it is 1/4 of the price and I actually like it better!
Maybelline great lash mascara is a good mascara if you just want you eyelashes to be darker. It doesn't give you volume or length but it has a good coverage if you are not wanting volume or length at the time
Tips: curl your eyelashes so you can have some length
