this is such a good mascara, ive been using it for about 7 months and its so good! easy to apply and give my eyelashes a really long thick look. However when i remove it i find it so hard, it doesn't come off easy and sometimes i find my eyelashes fall out while trying to rub it off.

Reviews
I use this on the daily. The formula for this mascara is very good it coats my lashes and gives them volume. I wouldn't say 9x the volume instantly as I have to apply at least twice the coats of mascara to get nice volume. I find for this Maybelline mascara has a good brush easy to use. A good daily mascara not my favourite one though.
I like this mascara, but it doesn't give me as much volume as other brands of mascara. Although, it does a good job and is good for a daily mascara and is appropriate for every day high school makeup. It also tends to be quite difficult to remove.
Tips: To make removal easier, use a cotton round soaked with cleansing oil or micellar water, then hold on the eye area for a few seconds. This softens the mascara making it easy to remove.
I purchased this on sale at Countdown for around $15. Well worth the money. Just like the bottle says you only need one coat and it makes your lashes thicker and longer. It doesn't clump. I didn't get the waterproof version and don't have any trouble removing at all with eye make up remover, it also doesn't run when you cry. I think this will be my new go to mascara
I've been using this for a while now and love it, only need 1 coat, it doesn't clump, makes eyelashes thick and long and comes off easily. When I've put 2 coats on I've been asked a few times if im wearing fake lashes!
I brought this mascara as it seemed to be one of the best for length and volume in an affordable price bracket.
In terms of packaging it was in a bright yellow plastic mascara tube that was the typical fat Maybelline tube.
I also picked this one because the brush was a bit more normal. The bristles were thick but typical in shape and material. And the wand was also normally shaped (straight).
In terms of applying the mascara. On one application I could get 1.5x lashes and after several coats 2x lashes. But not 9x. Not that I expected to, but it does annoy me that you never get lashes like they do in the adverts.
The colour of the mascara was a strong black and in terms of volume, also about 1.5x volume. It did also clump very slightly, but not significantly.
The mascara lasted all day and didn't smudge which was fantastic and although not the waterproof version (as that only gave the potential of x7 length) it was still a bit resistant to being totally removed by water or make up remover.
It is a better mascara than ones that don't promise to lengthen your lashes, but I think they over state their claims slightly.
Tips: Compare Warehouse and Farmers. Farmers are more expensive but you get club points and both can have 20-25% off sales.
Also apply all coats before the mascara dries on the lashes.
I am enjoying using this mascara but I wouldnt say it is great. I am usually a user of Benefit mascaras and do prefer these as they seem to give a deeper coverage. In saying that, this is a good priced product that does cover well and gives a good length to my lashes. It would take two or three oats to get a really dramatic effect I think. Other than that good for every day use.
Tips: 2-3 coats for an evening look
I've found this mascara just okay. I did make my lashes longer but then it also stuck them together a little bit making them all spidery (don't think thats a word). Then I'd have to comb them out using an eyebrow comb. Then came removing it. Oh my goodness what a mission it just wont budge. Even when I thought I'd gotten it all off I'd stll have panda eyes in the morning. So I probably won't buy this again myself
Tips: Use the Trilogy makeup be gone cleansing balm to completely and easily remove this mascara
I used mine until it dried up completely!!! It lengthens and gives volume. No clumps even when applying more than one layer and the brush is just the right size.
I love how easy this product was to get on, it sat beautifully and didn't clump! Yet I HATED getting it off, I thought it was a night mare! I had to soak my lashes in oil to remove all the product and if I didnt have any on hand, it seems that I would have had to tear my poor lashes out! With this being said it makes me wonder how breathable the solution is, if it stunts the growth of the lashes? I want to buy this again, but I'm too worried! :(
Tips: Keep a heavy duty makeup remover on hand!
