A classic!!

I love this product. Every time I go and try a new mascara I always make sure I have this in my make up bag for a back up. Its great to use for a day to day mascara but I love that the brush is small so I can get every lash so it really makes my lashes longer and darker. Plus its probably one of the cheapest mascaras in the shop so thats always appealing, great value for money :)

Pleasantly surprised!

I've had this mascara stashed away for awhile and have only just started using it again, and I'm blown away by its simplicity, but overall effectiveness. It's such a great daily mascara.

The wand is excellent at separating and coating each lash, so you don't have to worry about missing any. It thickens and also gives definition. However, I find it does tend to clump throughout the day, but a great thing about that is it's easy to separate unlike other mascaras which stick your lashes together like glue. Another thing I love is that it doesn't give that spidery effect which I absolutely hate.

I definitely recommend this product as a daily wearable mascara, but it's not something you'd reach for when you want super thick voluminous or dramatic eyes.

Tips: let it dry a bit before touching your eye area because it easily smudges. Also, make sure to curl your lashes beforehand so it really opens up your eyes!

Great Mascara!

This isn't the best mascara I have used but it certainly does a good job of giving you some great lashes! I like using this mascara best on my bottom lashes but it works great for top too :) It is a very build able mascara and the colour is great! This mascara isn't waterproof so it sometimes does smudge.

Tips: Don't touch your eyes when you have this mascara on as it does smudge!

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!

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

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.

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)

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

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.
