Maybelline Great Lash Mascara Review

I was drawn to this mascara because it was cheap and being a mother of two I have to try and keep my purchases minimal.

I'd heard great things about this mascara so I thought it was going to be amazing. But boy was I let down.

When I pulled the brush from the tube it looked very rough and like it was going to do some damage.

The colour was definitely black, but when I started applying it to my eyelashes literally nothing happens, no change, no nothing. After a few applications I finally got something going but it was not enough for me personally.

A few minutes later once I started to get into my day, my eyes started to have a burning feel and started weeping really badly. My eyes were blood shot for a few days after this. It's the first time I have ever reacted to anything in my entire life.

I love Maybelline, but I most definitely will NOT be purchasing this mascara again.

This mascara is great by itself or used in layers. I find that when used alone it gives a nice natural look but when layered it can be used to create a more dramatic look. I would recommend this product to people beginning with make up as it is good quality and easy to apply :)

I don't really like this mascara for my top lashes as i don't feel like it gives me a good enough result, however it is really good for bottom lashes cos it doesn't put too much product on or make them look spidery. Probably wouldn't repurchase for this though.

Well i seem to have gone back to my old faithful mascara. Every time i try a new one i don't like it. This one has a small wand to get right to the corners, only need one or two coats, its smudge and waterproof and I wake up after leaving it on without panda eyes, So yes to me it passes that test. I think this is one of the better mascaras out theses days and its awesome when you can buy it in the double pack : )

I had such high hopes, after hearing opinions on this product - that it was one of the classics, stood the test of time, etc etc. So in a supermarket emergency dash one day, I selected this out of the many options available, remembering that my flatmate swore by it.

I just can't see why this has cult status; maybe I got a dud tube, because it just didn't seem to set and I ended up with flecks of mascara under my eyebrows, from my natural curl. The mascara applies smoothly, but doesn't volumise, just darkens. The brush is small, so takes ages to apply to long lashes; was kind of handy to use on bottom lashes, but even that smudged off onto my bottom lid throughout the day.

One good thing, is it's easy as anything to take off, just cleanser did the trick. Bad side of that is, it seemed to come off my lashes at the drop of a hat. Don't even get me started on what happened when I wore it to gym and sweated like crazy. Panda express.

Back when I was even younger, I never knew how to buy makeup and just bought whatever is cheap and has 'good claims'. I thought it was good back then but when I think about it, it wasn't that great. It was just clumpy and smudged a lot.

So I bought this yesterday and I have worn twice (last night and today) and unfortunately it isn't a biggy for me. It darkened my lashes as it said it would but it made them look all spidery, it flaked and didn't set as fast as I would have liked. I must admit for $14 I really shouldn't be complaining but I think next time I'd rather spend an extra $5 and get a decent mascara. It has lasted me all day without smudging, irritating my eyes or flaking off but it's dead obvious my eyes have a bad mascara on them. Except my bottom lashes look natural so at least it has an upside. The top lashes don't even look remotely natural. I should have read the reviews before purchasing. I would not purchase this again unless it was a last resort. Once this tubes empty I'm going back to covergirl lashblast.

I flipping love this mascara and will continue to have one of these in my make up case for as long as I have eyelashes! I use all sorts of mascaras but this one I know will go on and stay on! I always have to remember NOT to wear this product when I am having anything done to my lashes because it takes forever to remove it! I love that about this mascara!!

Having read lots of glowing reviews about Maybelline Great Lash mascara I was so excited to think that such a cheap mascara was so perfect...and then I tried it...This is one of the worst mascaras I've ever used. It clumped and and my eyelashes stuck together. It irritated my eyes and made them itchy and within a couple of hours I had more mascara smudged under my eyes than on my lashes. Very disappointing.The only good thing I can say about this is that I like the retro look of the tube.

I am currently using this mascara and really like it. Its a great simple mascara. Very affordable. It's quite hard to get off.
