Love this!

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!

Great price, great quality

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.

Most overhyped product!

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.

Tips: Give it a miss!

Best mascara I've used so far

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.

Well priced and does a pretty good job

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).

Tips: Be careful when applying as I find it does tend to "run" a bit and can end up smudging

Favourite mascara

I've owned this mascara 2 or 3 times,and it's a favourite of mine. I find the brush to be the perfect size for me,and it's very lengthening (not so volumizing though) I wear quite a few coats of it and luckily I don't get spider lashes or any clumping throughout the day! As to be expected from a waterproof it stays on pretty well,doesn't smudge everywhere,and (on the downside) is a bit hard to remove,but i love it anyway. It's a brilliant,quick,and easy everyday mascara. (it's on the cheap side too :3)

Small brush

I bought this mascara as an emergency mascara one day when I was caught without. I have very long but blonde eyelashes so wearing mascara is like breathing for me! I actually thought the mascara was pretty good, offered great coverage. However, the brush is too small to achieve the look I normally like for my eyelashes so I actually used the brush from a recently used L'Oreal Extra volume collagen mascara and found the coverage was much better. For the price I think this is a pretty good mascara however I think it needs a slightly fuller brush to achieve lush lashes!

Tips: use a fatter brush from an old mascara to get better coverage.

Over-hyped!

I bought this mascara after hearing how it is a cult favourite! Maybelline mascaras have always been a personal favourite of mine - so I thought why not add to the collection. I found the consistency to be very wet, the brush looked small but still a nice size. After a few attempts at trying to use this mascara I've come to the conclusion it's simply not for me! Im a fan of big thick lashes with lots of volume at the base, however Maybelline Great Lash only delivered in seperation and adding length to my lashes. I also found that it took a longer time to dry then other mascaras I own - resulting in more smudges. I'm so disappointed I couldn't add this to my list of HG Maybelline mascaras!

Tips: As a fan of big lashes I find this mascara suitable for adding length to lower lashes

good

This is my back up mascara, its a good mascara when i apply to my bottom lashes they look great, but i dont find it very buildable and if i want to apply more layers it sometimes clumps. It doesnt last very long might be because it isnt waterproof. But removal is very easy!
