Maybelline Great Lash Mascara Review

I wouldn't rave about this one. It has been clumpy for me when I have tried it. Very black colour, which goes in its favour I guess.

This was one of the very first Maybelline mascaras i tried and sadly i was very disappointed. It left my eyelashes clumpy and really thick. It seemed to go every where! on the plus side it did make my eye lashes long and i also liked how the brush was simple and easy to use as it didn't bend. It is one of the cheaper maybelline mascaras , so the price isn't bad if it is what you like but this mascara just is not for me . I think it would be perfect for beginners who want more of a natural look or something for school. I do like the packaging but the name great lash? it defiantly didn't give me great lashes and as for that reason i wouldn't buy it again.

The name 'Great Lash' is quite appropriate for this mascara, I feel, because that's pretty much the result that this mascara gives: one (okay, a few more than one) big ol' clumpy lash. Seriously, the clumping is awful with this. I don't know if it's the brush, the formulation (which is SUPER wet) or just me (possibly all three!), but the only way I can get this mascara not to clump is to apply it with a separate spoolie wand. Not a fan of this product, at all.

It does lengthen my (medium, fairly thick) lashes pretty well, and doesn't smudge or flake throughout the day. It's just the clumping and lack of, well, anything!, that ruins this mascara for me...

I really wanted to like this mascara when I tried it a couple of years ago, but I just didn't. I found the wand to be too narrow and the bristles were too far apart to really coat my lashes without clumping. I don't feel like it is very buildable and don't think it gives enough length and definition to my lashes. I normally enjoy Maybelline mascaras but this one just didn't do it for me :(

Does not really do a lot for your lashes other than make them darker. Kind of clumpy and dries out quite quick so wouldn't really recommend it.

Ive tried this a couple of times...especially after hearing lots of recommendations, but never found it to be anything great. In fact its pretty average. I found it smudged really easily, and clumped on my lashes.

This was one of the first mascaras I ever owned and I didnt find it as great as it called itself. I didnt like the spiral-shaped wand, found that the mascara smudged extremely easily and I also found that it 'dropped' from my eyes as the day wore on. It also made my lashes really clumpy which is not the look I like. Overall, not to great.

This seems to be a popular makeup bag but it's definitely not for me. I had this as a teenager and while the brush and effect is pretty good it always smudges on me!

As far as I know I'm not allergic to anything, but every time I've used this mascara I have ended up with really sore red skin under my eyes - looks kind of like exzema. I thought at first that maybe I had a contaminated bottle, so I bought a new tube... same result. Won't go there again!

Hunting high and low for a great mascara, I tried this as it has been on the market for many years and recommended by many, and the price is right. It goes on easily enough, with a generous spoolie brush, a nice glossy black which plumped up my lashes. No extra length but I wasn't really looking for that anyway. Unfortuately it very quickly ended up showering down my face in little black flakes which made my eyes water. Mixed with the aforementioned black flakes I ended up with red smeary eyes. Not the look I was going for. Consigned to the bin.
