My second favorite mascara

First one being Loreal million lashes! I'm not very picky about mascaras so this does it for me. For the price it's fantastic. It gives both volume n length. The formula is a bit thick though. Can get clumpy if more than 2 coats are applied.

Favourite!

I had tried a fair few mascaras before discovering this one and since I did I haven't looked back. I was originally using it in black but now use it everyday in brown or brown/black and I think it's great. It definitely adds volume, the brush is sturdy and it lasts all day when applied correctly. I'm a happy customer :)

Tips: Before applying mascara, roll the brush gently on a tissue or wet wipe to remove excess and avoid clumps.

Clump central!

I've used a lot of Maybelline Mascara's in the past - it's my go-to brand. I couldn't find my normal mascara in the store so thought this was the closest thing. Boy was I disapointed. It clumps, and smudges like crazy. I don't apply a lot but no matter how much you apply it clumps and smudges - so I look like I have a black eye. Definitely not one I'd use again, will stick to my usual Maybelline one. Very disapointed this product wasn't better - I expect better from Maybelline!

Maybelline Volum Express the Colossal

I found this to be good although I still find that the Mega Plush Volum Express seems to have slightly more volume for lashes

Tips: It says to only apply one layer, but I still find that letting the first coat dry and then adding another, really thickens up the lashes

Maybelline Volum Express the Colossal

I found this really quite good. It didn't clog up and went on smoothly. I did need to use 2 coats however to get the full lash look I wanted.

Tips: Always rinse out the brush! I do this about once a week or so and it helps the mascara go on a lot more smoothly

This Mascara + Me = BFFs

I am normally THAT girl that can't put on mascara very well. I normally end up with mascara on my brows from messing it up (which looks like I tried to do a special polka dot feature on my face and failed miserably) and I have a strange application technique that involves batting my eyelids to move my lashes over the brush to apply mascara = moving my lashes rather than the brush. Perhaps I have a phobia of mascara? That's a discussion for another day I'm sure.

I do however LOVE this mascara. It's my daily use mascara and only takes 1-2 coats to get really long, thick lashes.

The Unit - The brush is well shaped and easy to manuvere, the container is easy to use and hold in your hand. It's also HOT yellow so easy to spot in the bottom of your handbag or make up bag. Especially when your in a rush.

The Application - Using my "special" technique the mascara glides on easily and one coat of the brush will do an entire eye - top and bottom lashes. Go another coat to thicken your lashes. Don't forget - Let. It. Dry. for multiple coats. If you don't you will end up with a hot mess of clumpy lashes like dying spiders on your face.

The Finish - Long, thick lashes. Go the black for really stand out night time lashes, and the black/brown for day time. The black really pops! I teamed the black with a bronze shadow for night time with black upper eyelid liner and my lashes looked amazing.

Tips: One coat will give you long lashes, two coats will give you long, full lashes. So do three coats if you dare and go large!

Make sure you take it off at the end of the day (or night) - I can personally recommend "Total Clean" Maybelliene eye make up remover as this mascara can be a bit trickier to get off - water or a make up remover wipe will not cut it here. If you don't take it off, expect to be Napisan'ing your pillowcase every morning!

Maybelline Volum' Express

This is my go to Mascara- if I am ever in doubt of what to get or need somethin that will do what it says I grab this. It lenghtens my lashes as well as volumises! i abolutley love it. I have tried quite a few different ones- Revelon, Clinique, MAC- you name it ive probably tried it but this one is the best!!

Tips: Depending on how you want your lashes- chose the number of coats you put on! i normally go for 2 for day wear/ work and then 3 for night time- is great when doing Smokey eyes!

I like it!

I like this mascara, it really lengthened my eyelashes and gave good volume. Personally, I don't think it's as good as other Maybelline mascaras, but I liked it!

Very thick lashes

I did like the colour and length this product gave, however I thought that it was quite thick and hard to remove at the end of the day.

Tips: Use this product for it's long lasting power!

Mascara

Not a fan off this mascara, I purchased it as my usual was out of stock and the packaging engaged me, I thought this was a little thick and clumpy
