Maybelline Great Lash Mascara Review

Another Maybelline product I bought because I clearly watch and trust YouTube far too much :(

As mentioned before I'm really not into Maybelline products as the formulas seem to look rubbish on me and this mascara is sadly no exception.

I find neither the wand or formula does anything for my lashes and it looks like I dont really have anything on when I'm wearing it as all it does is darken my lashes. I find it near impossible to build this product in order to create volume and length and all the wand does it hurt my lashes.

I bought the mascara recently and have thrown it away as I have no desire to use it again not even on my lower lashes.

I have this mascara in both blackest black, and clear. It is a classic mascara and I think it may have been one of the first mascaras that I ever tried. I picked up the blackest black from Farmers and I thought with something this popular it had to be great. The clear version I got my parents to pick this up for me in the States as I really wanted to try it for my brows.

The bottle is extremely classic. The bottom square part that is light pink, and the green top. I love green and pink together. The bottom of the clear one is transparent so there is no mixing them up (which could save some terribly embarrassing moments). The brush is pretty simple. Just a small natural bristle brush in a spinning pattern. It is quite small so it makes it easy to get to the inner most lashes and the bottom lashes.

I find the formulation of the mascara quite wet. This coats my lashes quite nicely, but really it doesn't do much else. It doesn't add any volume at all, it does lengthen. But that is about it. Mostly it just coats the lashes, making them extra black and a wee bit thicker. It also smudged under my lashes which is annoying, but I could solve this problem by getting the waterproof version. I do get my lashes tinted monthly so I feel like this mascara doesn't do much more than getting my lashes tinted.

I like the clear version for my brows. The brush does keep quite a lot of product on it though so it is good to take that off before applying to the brows. It does keep my brows in the position that I want but also leaves them a wee bit crunchy. I like though that the product seems to last a long time, I have heaps left in my tube and I have used it quite a lot. Obviously a design flaw is the clear bottom of the tube means that you see the clear gel get a bit murky from whatever brow powder you have been using. But that doesn't bother me.

Personally I think Maybelline do some other great mascaras for a really reasonable price, this isn't one of them. If you are after a natural lash look just get your lashes tinted then you won't even have to do them each day.

I wasn't a huge fan of this product because it clumped my eyelashes together and didn't really give me any length or volume. I don't really understand the hype because the results were not there for me. I have found far better Maybelline mascaras that I would prefer to use.

I bought this mascara after reading the reviews on here and even though they were mixed I decided that I'd give it a go. Despite the hype it was not what I was after. I found that it was too black for my eyes, that it clumped, and that it smudged extremely easily. I ended up with massive panda eyes after just a couple of hours. Not something that I would rush back to buy again.

I've heard about this mascara for years, magazines always go on about it, and I finally tried it. What a disappointment. It did it's basic job, darkening my eyelashes, but that was about it. I thought it was pretty clump and the wand wasn't very good either. I wouldn't use it again.

Not a fan on this product. If you like very wet mascaras this is probably good for you, but myself, I like a mascara which is a little more dry and doesn't transfer onto my upper lid when I blink, it takes a while to set and dry. Also I found the brush way to small, it was actually a pain to use ,as I had to dip it into the product many times.The packaging wasn't appealing either. I think it would be best to save a few extra dollars to buy a different Mabelline mascara- the brand does make other fabulous mascaras.

I have tried this mascara and definitely wouldn't recommend it . It gave no volume or definition to my eyelashes. It doesn't clump or clot but probably as it feels as if there's no mascara coming out . The look it gave is that of a week old lash tint ! I have tried other mascaras in the range and have been impressed
