Maybelline Define-a-lash Mascara Review

Maybelline are usually my go-to for mascaras but this one just didn't seem to do much for me. I did like the texture of the formula, I thought it was a bit thinner than what I'm used to and worked well with the brush giving even coverage & definition without clumping. I didn't notice any difference in length but my lashes are naturally on the longer side so that may have something to do with it? I like this for my bottom lashes but I'm not sure I'd repurchase it simply for the fact there are mascaras in the same price range that I feel work better than Define-a-Lash for top & bottom lashes.

The packaging of this mascara I love, the colour, the sleekness is really great but as for the mascara itself it is a bit hit and miss, I found the wand was really flexible which made it hard to not get it everywhere if it had been a bit more stiff then it may of worked perfectly. I did need a fear few coats to get my lashes to stand out, I think due to the formula being quite thin, so would only use this as an under or over coat not on its own as my lashes are quite scarce and light. I think this would be a good for those just getting into make up or as a quick touch up mascara.

Does the job no curling or lengthening action however. Just a run of the mill straightforward mascara. Nothing very special. Good for a first mascara.

Its a good back up but I wont buy it again as it doesn't have the wow factor for my lashes. It doesnt add much volume to my lashes, it just darkens them. I dont really like the shape/design of the brush but the packaging is pretty and it washes off easily.

I found that although it was okay as a mascara. It irritated my sensitive skin and gave me mild dermatitis. Possibly not the greatest product for sensitive skin.

So I'm a big fan of the natural look. I'm a mum and I don't exactly have much of a social life. There's no need to do a full face of make up to go to the supermarket (in my humble opinion, power to you if you have the energy to do so). Consequently I take mascara seriously. It's one of the few products I use daily. Define-a-lash sounded perfect. I envisioned beautiful natural looking non clumpy lashes. Instead what I got was a very full heavy looking undefined look that reminds me of a famous twiggy photo from the 60s. Which would be great if that was the look I was after, but with my lifestyle, I'm not looking for that look. I did however like the silicone brush but it needs a bit of fine tuning to match up to some of the other silicone brushes I've used.

i was excited to give this product a go, expecting gorgeous defined lashes, however the brush is really horrid to use and hard to get into the corners, it doesnt define my lashes it more sticks them together, in order to separate and define them i need to use a lash comb afterwards, not a fan of this product at all

I didn't really enjoy this mascara, i received it free from a website so i wouldn't go out and personally buy this one.

I found it didn't work to well on my top lashes, although the brush and application worked superb, it didn't give me the look was after.

Worked great on the lower lashes though. Wouldn't turn it down if i received it as a gift or free again.

I found this mascara to be alright but Iv definatly had better. I found it didn't define each lash, the still clumped together and I had to apply quite a few coats to get the look I was after. I liked how it lasted through th day, I didn't get any loose flakey peices which I have got with other mascaras. Over all it was a ok make up product but I don't think I would go out of my way to buy it again

Pleased to receive a new mascara for free and the pink packaging is gorgeous. Goes on well and like the effect of longer looking lashes but it smudges after awhile and on my eyelids the panda look is not great. I wouldn't buy it myself but as a back up mascara to have its ok.
