Maybelline Great Lash Mascara Review

There's a reason this is still around!

Always go back to this. I have a few mascaras but I find this has always and probably always will be in my collection.

It's affordable and I can usually pick this up in a grab 2 for x amount deal.. it's also readily available which is a huge plus. The price means your able to replace mascara as often as recommended which is great.

It creates a colour and look that's pretty handy - longer lashes and thicker lashes.. definitely not the longest and definitely not the thickest but does an ok job of getting a nice look with one product and one coat. I would suggest if you want extreme length or extreme volume, thickness etc that you use a formula that targets that.

But for a great everyday look this is the go to.

This is my favourite mascara, I keep getting caught up in market of other big brands that promise me big things they never deliver! I mean never. I keep coming back to this sweet pink and green bottle. I have straight lashes the i have to use a lash curler, after that I use this mascara and it holds all day perfectly, It can handle been layered up 6 times if you want super dark thick lashes. The price is amazing! I will continue to have this in my makeup bag!

Goes on evenly without any clumps. Better than any other mascara in this price range I've tried. Great to have waterproof and washable options. I have rebought multiple times and will continue to do so!

I used this all through my teens and a few years into my twenties before I got into higher end products. It does the job and the black is truly black. I'd certainly buy it again if I couldn't afford something higher end, and I do recall it having great lengthening effects but not sure how it compares to newer products on the market. Its a good one to have in the stash anyway.

It gets the job done, I used to use this allot. For the price it is defiantly worth it. But it doesn’t extend your lashes to their full potential like some other mascaras do. It lasts a long time and doesn’t dry out when not used regularly like some do.

I wanted to like this mascara as I usually like Maybelline products. But I find it clumpy, and it never seems to dry. I also don'l like that it stings and irritates my eyes at the slightest bit of contact.

I know this mascara has an amazing and long lived reputation...but I just don’t get it.

It didn’t lengthen or thicken my lashes, and it flaked and then smudged. I would’ve been better off going mascara free.

If you can make this product work for you, I envy you as it’s a cost effective alternative to other leading mascaras on the market. But I just can’t.

Perhaps it was amazing in its day and has become a cult favorite but I just think there are so many awesome mascaras out there now that this product has been outdated.

It also isn’t cruelty free so I wouldn’t buy it on those grounds nowadays anyway.

It’s an average massacre. A bit messy to apply then tends to smudge during the day. Panda eyes not really the look I’m going for. Didn’t want to stay on my lashes.
