Been around for a long time!

This mascara is a great cheap ordinary everyday mascara ( especially for colour and thickning as i already have super long lashes) This mascara has been around for years so it is obviously good if they keep making it!

Tips: Save the expensive good mascaras for special occasions makes everything feel glam having special makeup set aside

Good basic but gets clumpy

I tried this mascara and found it to be good at first considering the price. However, I found that with the style of the brush that the mascara became quite clumpy rather quickly (despite NOT using a 'pump action' to load the brush). I used blackest black which is a good colour and it does wash off easily.

Tips: a good basic for the make up kit but don't expect it to last too long

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara

This mascara has been around forever.

I used to use this mascara everyday and it worked really well, I liked the consistency, results and the price. Last year after buying a new bottle I developed swelling around my eyes which settled after a few days of not using the product. Thinking it might have been something else I tried it again with the same result. I am disappointed that this as happened and now I am a bit scared when I try out new products.

So weird!

Soooooo I tried this mascara the day that I bought it. I didn't really like it so I sort of left it out for like, months I'd say? By then it had sort of dried out and gotten a bit old. For some random reason I used it and loved it! It was so random but I used it more often after that. Really did seperate my lashes even as it was dry hehe

Old school

Have been using for years. It's cheap & average to be honest. Like better than no mascara at all. I don't want to use all my more expensive mascaras everyday. So this is good just to darken & fill in eyelashes. There are so many other mascaras out there these days.

For a Natural Look - Black and Clear

I have this mascara in both blackest black, and clear. It is a classic mascara and I think it may have been one of the first mascaras that I ever tried. I picked up the blackest black from Farmers and I thought with something this popular it had to be great. The clear version I got my parents to pick this up for me in the States as I really wanted to try it for my brows.

The bottle is extremely classic. The bottom square part that is light pink, and the green top. I love green and pink together. The bottom of the clear one is transparent so there is no mixing them up (which could save some terribly embarrassing moments). The brush is pretty simple. Just a small natural bristle brush in a spinning pattern. It is quite small so it makes it easy to get to the inner most lashes and the bottom lashes.

I find the formulation of the mascara quite wet. This coats my lashes quite nicely, but really it doesn't do much else. It doesn't add any volume at all, it does lengthen. But that is about it. Mostly it just coats the lashes, making them extra black and a wee bit thicker. It also smudged under my lashes which is annoying, but I could solve this problem by getting the waterproof version. I do get my lashes tinted monthly so I feel like this mascara doesn't do much more than getting my lashes tinted.

I like the clear version for my brows. The brush does keep quite a lot of product on it though so it is good to take that off before applying to the brows. It does keep my brows in the position that I want but also leaves them a wee bit crunchy. I like though that the product seems to last a long time, I have heaps left in my tube and I have used it quite a lot. Obviously a design flaw is the clear bottom of the tube means that you see the clear gel get a bit murky from whatever brow powder you have been using. But that doesn't bother me.

Personally I think Maybelline do some other great mascaras for a really reasonable price, this isn't one of them. If you are after a natural lash look just get your lashes tinted then you won't even have to do them each day.

My very first mascara

I remember the first time that I actually purchased this mascara, it was about 7-8 years ago i was in high school, and i was at a supermarket and i was in the magazine and Cleo or Girlfriend or one of those teen magazine had this as its freebie, so i brought the magazine and got the mascara, and thought cool i got a free mascara, and as i got older and the years went by this mascara was always used and loved and repurchased, because it such a great volumizing, basic, no clump mascara, even when it got down to the last few days of life, it wouldn't clump it would just be smooth, va va voom mascara. It was just simple, it worked it didnt have any fancy scientific claims or anything like that i think it deserves all the hype it gets. I still use this today, but i use it over a lengthening waterproof mascara because this mascara is not lengthening.

Tips: I do 1 coat let it dry then do another coat. and thats all i need

Learning how to apply mascara for the first time..

One of the first mascaras I've owned. Still have it in my collection but prefer the Magnum one instead. It's a good cover after one application but I've found it dries up fairly quickly.

Great lash mascara

I've used this mascara a few times. It's not too pricey and coated well on my natural lashes. I found it didn't clump and I love how it conditioned while it thickened my natural lashes. I've always had barely no lashes and this mascara gave them volume, I noticed.

I think this is a good everyday mascara that's affordable. It does smudge, I noticed so be aware of that, other than that, this mascara is alright.
