I was looking for a new mascara and the packaging on this won me over I loved the colour of the bottle.
However I go to use it and I hate it!! Well.. that's not entirely correct... I love the formula. I love the brush.
I hate the wand!! It has this little notch in it and when you apply the mascara it makes the brush bounce around a flick everywhere! It makes me so mad because I have to spend double the time on my lashes to get the coverage I want! Grrr! I don't even understand WHY they did this??? It only serves to make application ten times harder than it has to be! Sad disappointment!
I will use it again though, because I have nothing else to use. If it wasnt for that darned notch it would have been perfect!!
I was totally unsure what to expect from this mascara, after reading quite mixed reviews. But I ended up really liking it!
There are several things about the Maybelline Volum' Express Mega Plush mascara which are different from other mascaras I've tried. First of all I noticed the brush was super flexible and bendy - still not sure if I like that! It's supposed to allow for a more gentle application of product, but I actually feel like it just takes longer to get the amount of mascara I want on my lashes. The plus side of this is that it prevents accidentally getting too much product on in one go.
The second unusual thing which I noticed was the formula, which initially appears a lot less heavy and thick than normal formulas. Once again, this allows for a more gentle and even build up, but also takes ages to get a more dramatic look.
Will use up the whole mascara, but don't think I will be repurchasing.
