    Good volume

    This is a good mascara, just not a perfect one. I like that it gives a natural look, doesn't clump my lashes together, and adds a lot of volume. It also lasts all day and it's easy to remove.

    The gel formula means that my eyelashes don't dry up, but the downfall of this is that after a couple of hours it smudges and runs and ends up below my eyes. I am not a great fan of the bendy wand as it is hard to control, and the brush became very clogged. It also feel like it runs out (or dries out?) a lot quicker than other mascaras.

    Will use again, until I find something better.

    Tips: I like to blow dry my eyelashes for a few seconds to prevent the mascara ending up everywhere else.

    Not impressed with this one

    I got this mascara as a freebie...I love freebies! I've been using it for about 2 weeks now and I gota say I'm not impressed at all. The formula is very thin and I really struggle to coat all of my lashes. The brush? Too wobbly for me and I find it hard to manoeuvre. The lashes it did get to were left kinda spikey and it really failed to give them any oomph. Usually Maybelline produce my favourites in mascara but I think they really failed with this one. I even tried using a wand from another brand but even that didn't help. I just think the formula is too thin to do anything useful

    Glug glug glug

    This mascara was pretty good, it gave my eyelashes wicked volume which is great, but only after I'd curled my eyelashes first. The cons outweigh the pros with this mascara tho because one, I have to curl my eyelashes before use (sometimes I'm in a rush and just want to whip some on, but I can't) and two, it smudges and stains so badly if you accidently wipe your eyes or, yaknow, CRY. Raccoon eyes are not pretty and occur too easily with this mascara. And with all maybelline mascraras i think tbh

    Tips: Don't use this is you are really active (as in sports) or if you are outdoors alot as sweat and any other form of moisture make this stuff RUN

    could be better

    I always use maybelliene mascaras they are my go to mascaras and they usually never let me down but this mascara wasn't as expected very clumpy didn't seperate my lashes but the brush is very nice. The colour was really the only reason i brought this product (yes sucker for colour)

    Plush review

    I was unsatisfied with this mascara because i have short lashes and even though i brushed from base to tip it didn't give me the desired look i was expecting

    Tips: dont pump the wand brush inside the mascara tube as this creates bubbles inside and causes the mascara to clump. try twisting it inside the tube before pulling it out to get an even layer on the wand instead.

    Not mega good, but not mega bad.

    This product is 'average'. Not the best, not the worst. It seems to add some fullness, but wheres the length? wheres the curl? Good for a day mascara, but not for a night out. Application of the mascara is quite difficult due to the bendy brush. Honestly, very hard to apply! Make the most of what you have - I curl my eye lashes as well. I would not get again. I want a product that has it all. This product doesn't.

    Tips: If you apply this mascara carefully, whilst moving your hand side ways as you move down your eye, it makes for best application.

    Great volume, but not enough lengthening

    I've brought many Maybelline mascaras in the past, as they seem to make fantastic mascaras at a reasonable price. I normally use "Maybelline Falsies", but when I ran out I decided to try something new..and this was it!

    The packaging comes in a funky aqua blue colour, it just looks fun and modern. I love how it's easy to spot in my makeup bag, due to the colour.

    The brush of this mascara is good quality and easy to use, lots of bristles and easily glides over your lashes. It coats the lashes well and adds volume.

    Another plus is that it feels lovely on my eyes. Some mascaras can sting and irritate my eyes, but not this mascara.

    However the downside of this mascara is it doesn't seem to add length, like my other Maybelline mascaras do. That's the main thing I look for in a mascara, to give me long, feminine lashes. But, this mascara really didn't create the effect I wanted.

    Also, I found after the end of the day this seemed to smudge slightly. I think the formula of this mascara is slightly different to other mascaras I have tried.

    Overall, this is probably my least favourite mascara in the Maybelline range. I find Maybelline Falsies considerably better.

    It was great to try this, but I won't be repurchasing in the future.

    Never buying again...

    Well, i'm sad to to say after being sold on the packaging I was not impressed with the Maybelline Volum' Express Mega Plush.

    This product would have probably been great, if the brush wasn't bendable. This unfortunately prevented most of the product going on to my eyelashes as pushing the brush against my eyelashes only caused it to bend away and not connect with my eyelashes at all. It kind of felt like it wasn't applying much product at all due to this, and after a few attempts my eyelashes were still not covered in mascara.

    I've used a range of similar products, but the had a fixed bent want instead of one that bent as you applied. The brush itself was a good size, and using the product with a different brush was great but I wasn't sold on this, and won't be rebuying.

    Would not buy again

    I brought this as I love Maybelline mascaras. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy this mascara. The product is made to not dry your lashes out. Although it does what it says as a result I found the product smudged very easily and that is a big no no for me. I also thought it didn't give enough length it was more of a natural look. The brush itself I found okay and i did get a small amount of volume. I wouldn't purchase again and would not recommend this to others. A bit unimpressed as all of the other Maybelline mascaras I have used I enjoyed.

    Average at Best

    I'm not usually a fan of Maybelline mascaras, and this was no different. I feel like for me, the wand was too flimsy and just didn't do anything amazing to my lashes. I've found better mascaras from cheaper brands (such as Jordana best lash), so I have no intention of buying again. The only thing I do like about this mascara is the colour combo on the packaging, and that isn't enough to waste $30+ on.
