Maybelline Great Lash Mascara Review

This is a good, cheap mascara to keep as a spare at work or in a handbag. It's ok, I like the brush a lot, although its not my favourite mascara because it is a bit thin and takes a while to dry. Having said that, it is good value. It's always worth spending a bit more on a quality mascara that thicken, darkens and lasts longer.

I do love the wand size of this mascara. Its great for those of us in the stumpy lash department. Its nice and black and the waterproof formula is very very waterproof but it doesn't offer much in way of lengthening of volume.

Its ok, its nice and cheap, but don't believe the hype about it being holy grail.

I used to really love this brand, however after a bit of a break from it I've recently opened a new tube and I'm just disappointed. Product seems really sloppy and wet. I always have to check before I leave for work that it hasn't come off all over my face. Yesterday I sneezed just after applying it, looked in the mirror and I had great black lines all over the area just below my eye line. Not impressed, it just seems to come right off as it's too liquid. I doubt I will use this again once I've finished this one. I prefer a drier product.

Mascara is definitely a staple piece in my makeup bag. I will never leave the house without wearing it so I am generally quite critical with what mascaras I use. The Maybelline Great Lash was a reasonably good purchase, however I wasn't expecting much from my quick supermarket bargain in the first place. One thing I noticed straight away was its clumping, which is something it claimed not to do. Reading through the comments I'm not the only one who thinks this. Saying that, clumping isn't a major issue for me as I have quite thin eyelashes and prefer the extra bit of volume, unless it is excessive which the Maybelline one isn't. My main issue with the product is the struggle it is to get off. I found myself with black smudges under my eyes at the end of the day which were a real difficulty to remove. However I LOVED the length it gave my eyelashes, which was what made me wear it several time!

I bought this as a cheap alternative after reading some good reviews of it in a magazine but it wasnt as good as other mascaras of a similar quality, really its worth spending $10 more to get something a bit more decent. A lot of it comes out and its really hard to get a nice even coat without it smudging somewhere. If you apply it very patiently you can get good results but its really not good for everyday use (as someone that loves using mascara - it would just annoy me). It has a weird brush too...kinda wish I bought another mascara really

I liked at first how this went on and with really light coloured eyelashes it was a distinct improvement but unfortunately I made a bit of a mess and lashes became rather good friends with each other

I don't get what all the fuss is about. There are some way better drugstore mascaras out there like the maybelline falsies, clump crusher, max factor false lash effect etc. This one was kind of clumpy and I didn't really see anything special about it.

This is about as basic as it gets when it comes to mascara. It's always lauded as the world's favourite mascara but all that says to me is that there are a lot of women out there who are settling for less-than-ideal lashes if they're using this!

The brush is very basic and does nothing to separate or curl lashes. The formula is... well it makes your lashes black, I'll give it that. It doesn't lengthen or add volume, and my lashes are already black, so it's a bit of a waste of time.

It's a good first mascara, but it does not give you volume or length, so it does not create attention to your eyes. I had a bit of clumping but it's not to bad, I think this mascara would be good for young girls who don't need dramatic make up and lashes, so it's rather average.

Not my favourite mascara - dries quite solidly and can clump quite a lot, so both of these together can be problematic!
