Maybelline Volum' Express Mega Plush Review

Honestly I fell in love with the packaging and the name which made me buy it. At first I was pretty pleased with it, I do like that it's washable because my 2 year old brother got into it and wiped it all over the walls. Came off super easily. It made my lashes look nice. I love the brush on it, I really do. But I dunno. There's no "wow" factor to it. I got given a different mascara not long after I bought this and I realised through it just how amazing my lashes can look. All in all, not a bad product, but not an amazing one either.

Update: I will give it credit where it's due, however. It definitely works well to separate my lashes. Also once you let it dry and do a second coat it can put up some decent volume. I do like the way it makes my lashes look when I have the time to build them up. Would still reach for something like my Clump Crusher mascara over this.

I am a big fan of maybelline mascaras and although this is not my favourite (I still love falsies) I still like this mascara. This mascara gives great volume to your lashes as well as lengthen them. This mascara is also black, and I mean jet black, so it definitely gives you bold looking lashes.

When I first used this mascara I thought the brush was a weird shape and I found it awkward to apply. This was because there are three sides to the brush (almost like a triangular shape) and I was unsure about how to hold the brush. I have know gotten used to the brush and have learnt how to use the brush, through experimenting, and know I find it easier to use. I find I get good results when I don't have a lot of product on the brush, otherwise it can clump easily, and then hold one edge of the triangular side to use on my lashes.

The formula of this mascara is really nice and smooth. This makes it easy to apply to your lashes, and is less likely to clump. The brush itself is made of rubber and is very flexible. This makes it easy to coat every lash and get close to you lash line. The brush head itself is made of bristles which gives your lashes lots of volume.

Overall, I like the volume this mascara gives my lashes and although it is not the best mascara I have used I would purchase it again.

I’m a fan of this mascara, from the bright turquoise packaging, to the wand’s bristles. The mascara itself wasn’t amazing, it tended to smudge on my eyelids, but apart from that it wasn’t clumpy and didn’t get brittle. I still use the wand to this day because I’m such a huge fan of it.

For some reason when I put on mascara I end up with it on my eyelid as well but with this it went where it was supposed to on my lashes. They just looked rich and dark and gave lots of definition. Easy to get off at the end of the day too. Not a huge fan of the brush but it worked

Love this mascara, great for volumising, definitely recommend if you like your lashes to be long and voluminous.

First I’ll mention the flex brush – the first time I used this mascara it felt like I wasn’t able to get a firm stroke against my lashes, however after a few days I’ve gotten used to it and love how light it is. It coated my lashes well and gives them a really great curl, better than any other mascara I have tried. The brush takes on the perfect amount of mascara = no clumps or product build up on the end.

The mascara itself is awesome – It really lengthened my short lashes, without clumps. Even with multiple coats I didn’t get that dry, crunchy feel. Also liked that it dried quickly, no mascara smudges on the eyeshadow (which often happens due to my eye shape!).

I have thick dark lashes so what I really liked about this is that it gave a more natural appearance – perfect for the ‘no make up’ make up look. Despite the claims that it'll give you 'massive, supple volume', if you are after a heavy mascara that gives lot of volume and a dramatic look, this one isn’t for you.

I’ll be buying this again!

I have never really been a fan of mascara, as I don't quite like the thick, clumpy feeling it leaves on my eyelashes. Not too long ago, I saw this mascara on sale at a makeup sale and thought I would give it a go. I really like the way the mascara brush coats my lashes and also how it doesn't leave my eyelashes feeling thick/clumpy like other mascaras I've used in the past. I'm not a personal fan of "spider" lashes (maybe because it doesn't suit me), but this mascara doesn't leave my eyelashes looking like that. It also emphasises the length of my eyelash, and brings it out more (as I don't have thick eyelashes). Would recommend this to all.

This is a really nice mascara. The brush is quite fluffy so it paints the mascara on naturally, and makes the lashes look fuller. The wand has a flexible point on it, in which it bends slightly as you use it - it helps create a light feathery effect on the lashes.
