Maybelline Great Lash Mascara Review

I had been looking for a decent, well priced mascara for a while (well priced meaning below about $15.00 due to budget).

I saw this mascara on special at Countdown online, down from $14.99 to $11.99 so thought I would give it a try.

I like the colours of the tube, nice and bright and easy to see on the shelf so found it easily at the store. It was still on special so pretty happy about that.

The brush is an older style and has short bristles, which I wouldn't normally pick but again it was the price that made me buy it - plus it is a good brand. The brush was not laden with mascara when I pulled it out of the tube but I did dunk it back in to get some more on it as I like a thicker coating on my lashes.

It went on ok, doesn't really clump too much but I do find that it ends up all over the inside of my lower lid leaving black marks which doesn't look great and make my eyes run lol. It does give fairly good coverage (I apply 2 coats though) and is waterproof which I like.

Is a bit hard to get off even with waterproof removing makeup remover.

All in all it's a pretty good mascara which I would probably buy again but mainly due to the price, if it was on special, I probably wouldn't pay full price for it (but then again I'm a scrooge haha).

I tried a few mascaras before finding this one and this is the only one I buy now. It thickens, lengthens and separates my lashes without clumping. Nice black colour that lasts all day without transferring onto my skin. I love the colour of the container too, it's easy to find in my make up bag. Great price too.

I've tried this mascara several times because people keep talking about how great it is, so I convince myself that maybe I just had a bad tube. Every time I'm disappointed all over again, it smudges, it clumps and it doesn't even do anything particularly amazing for your lashes when you finally get it applied right! At best it's given me a serious case of spider lashes.

I was always skeptical when seeing this mascara at the shops cause it was always cheaper than the others but i finally purchased it and actually liked it. Loved how i can feel the brush combing through my lashes and i never had any problems with clumping or flaking. It seemed to have run out quite quickly though and i don't know if it dried out or if the product just finished.

This is the best mascara I have tried! It makes my lashes look really long and my eyes POP! It works really well on both top and bottom lashes! It does tend to smudge a bit and you need to wipe the wand otherwise it goes on a wee bit clumpy - but it doesn't change the fact that I love it!

This is my all time favourite mascara. I find that it's just simple, and easy. It leaves my lashes looking fuller and longer.. It stays on all day and with the right remover will come off easily (without it takes a bit longer). The price is great as I'm not really a fan of paying a lot of money for my mascara.

I've tried others but keep coming back to this mascara. I like the brush, doesn't clump, lasts in the bottle for ages (ie doesn't go gluey). Easy to just purchase at supermarket. Doesn't dry out eyelashes. Will never stop purchasing, at this price a firm favourite. Only negative doesn't thicken lashes as claimed.

Maybelline's Great Lash Mascara is a great, reliable basic mascara. I've used it for years and years and it is consistently amazing. The formula is smooth and glossy and it is a fab and understated day mascara.

If you want a beautiful natural looking mascara, that defines your lashes and adds a little bit of ooomph, then Maybelline's Great Lash has to be at the top of your list!

This is my staple in my makeup bag for mascara.

It coats my lashes nicely, doesn't have a terrible chemical smell I have found that some mascaras can have and it is waterproof!

It is long lasting and doesn't have a gluey type formula. It is a great price and is easily found in supermarkets around the country and at Postie Plus.

Overall it is a great price, it lasts for a long time both on the lashes and in the tube. I love it!
