Dries fast

Good colour, extends lashes nicely I really like the brush shape it makes it a lot easier to apply great for beginners or someone with an unsteady hand

A true classic

Wonderful product I can rely on to give me what I want. This was one of my first mascaras and it was great. Small brush gives you lots of control over curl and coating every lash. Small enough to use on lower lashes.

Tips: Wipe off excess product and work the product gently from the root to tip of lashes. Curl back with wand at the tips and hold for a few seconds for a light curl.

Old faithful

I love this mascara. It is my all time favourite. I try others (usually maybelline or L'Oréal) but always go back to this one. For the price you can't go wrong. If I do stray from this it's usually because I want a different look or colour.

Good, not amazing

I like this mascara, but I haven’t found it amazing. I already have nice long lashes so the mascara helps by making them seem a bit longer and darker, but other than that it doesn’t help much. I like it though since it’s cheap, but I find it doesn’t really thicken my lashes. If anything it makes the lashes on my lower lash line look spidery, so I only put mascara on my top lashes. It also moves around a lot, and I do find that I have not only had mascara on the bottom of my eyes but on the top of my lids which is very annoying.

Not For Me

My mascara was almost about to run out when I saw this at the supermarket. I used this many years ago and couldn’t quite remember if I liked it. I did remember everyone around me loving it so I got another tube for myself. I don’t know if they changed the formula over the years but I didn’t like it at all! You’re supposed to re-apply the mascara until the desired thickness is achieved (do not let dry). I think I did about 3 to 4 coats and it stopped getting any thicker after the second one. The consistency is not thick and does not have a shiny finish so it looks natural.

What I disliked about it was how it could literally straighten my lashes after just 1 coat. My second time using it, I curled my lashes with a slightly heated curlash and made it extra curled up to compensate. However after the second coat my lashes still straightened and was bent up at a sharp angle. It looked so awkward I was so disappointed. My lashes are naturally straight and I’ve tried other mascaras that are only for volume or thickness (not curling) but they never straightened my lashes this much; I would at least keep a semblance of a curl. For the Great Lash mascara, I’m not sure what’s weighing my lashes down because the consistency is very light and liquid.

I would say it’s more suitable for people who want washable mascara and have fine but naturally curled lashes, or people who are wearing lash extensions, but definitely not for me.

Good drug store mascara

This mascara is good. Not bad but not amazing. Good value for money though. Does last all day without smudging. For drugstore mascara I do prefer L’Oreal lash paradise however

The reliable mascara

This is a fabulous daytime mascara. It's not dramatic or clumpy, it's just a nice mascara that keeps each lash separated, looking pretty and is incredibly natural looking.

It's not a heavy formula, so I use a different mascara if I'm looking for dramatic lashes, or a night time look. I rarely deviate from this mascara though.

The great thing about this mascara is that it is a light type of application, so you have very little if any mascara 'crumbs' that fall from your lashes during the day to get in your eyes like some of the thicker more dramatic mascaras.

For someone like me with fine but long lashes (thanks LiLash!), this is perfect! I use the waterproof version as I tend to spritz my face during the day and I'm smudge free all day! Removing mascara at the end of the day is a breeze with a little micellar water and a cotton wipe. No dramas there!

I also love that I don't get mascara on the brow bone or under the eye with this mascara - so no panda eyes or crazy eye lids!

I'm a fan. On sale you can grab this at the supermarket for $10 and I think for its performance and the fact that it's just a nice reliable mascara, I think it's a really good buy, and a staple in my collection.

There's a reason this mascara is a staple product

I used this mascara for years, then for some reason (FOMO maybe?) I tried a succession of other mascaras and almost forgot about this one. None of the other mascaras measured up and I ended up going back to this recently, and introducing it to my teenage daughter. Now she loves it just as much as I do! It goes on easily, doesn't clump or clog my lashes and lasts well. I wear contacts and this doesn't irritate my eyes or flake off at all. The brush is easy to use and the pink/green bottle makes it easy to see in my make-up bag. I'll continue using this mascara as long as they keep making it - no more FOMO :)

Quick and easy

I found this mascara to be light on the eye and easy to apply for a qick get up and go. No clumping and the long brush makes it easy to use when reaching in the eye corner.

Tips: Wash face and do not moisturise the eyelash before applying.
