Maybelline Great Lash Mascara Review

I love maybellines mascara "one by one" so I thought id give this a try. For me personally, I'm not a big fan of the brush, it's very small with small brissles which I just can't work with my eyes, they don't seperate/ volumise enough but I do use the product with a different brush and it's great, the product really does seperate lashes leaving no clumps just like it says, has great staying power but is definitley not smudge proof! Easy to wash off when the day is done :) I quite like the colour of this packaging, it's easy for me to find in the draw :) I think it's a average mascara for it's price but there is better out there.

When I started using make up this was my first one I used. The brush is small and it doesn't give you much volume. But if your looking for a subtle look this is a good one to use. Or you have small eyelashes. It seemed to become clumpy quicker than the other Maybelline mascaras I've used. It did the job but I wouldn't buy it again.

So I have not tried the original black one before, but I really wanted a blue mascara and this was the only one I could find. It was also very cheap online. I have no idea if the black one is better than this, but this mascara was meh. I didn't exactly expect a ton of volume or length or anything like that, I just wanted the colour. But I did, of course, have hopes for the formula of the mascara.

The colour payoff is fine, but the formula is very thin and it sticks to the mascara wand weirdly so that it can be kind of difficult to apply. It also smudges everywhere, especially if applied on the lower lashline. It flakes quite a bit throughout the day and it comes off extremely easily, but I'm not sure whether you'd call that a pro or a con. Overall it's okay, but I kind of wish I could've gotten better.

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.
