Maybelline Great Lash Mascara Review

I know this mascara has an amazing and long lived reputation...but I just don’t get it.

It didn’t lengthen or thicken my lashes, and it flaked and then smudged. I would’ve been better off going mascara free.

If you can make this product work for you, I envy you as it’s a cost effective alternative to other leading mascaras on the market. But I just can’t.

Perhaps it was amazing in its day and has become a cult favorite but I just think there are so many awesome mascaras out there now that this product has been outdated.

It also isn’t cruelty free so I wouldn’t buy it on those grounds nowadays anyway.

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

I dont understand how this mascara has so much hype; it didn't work for me at all. The product didn't stay on my lashes and smudged terribly throughout the day. It didn't hold a curl, they ended up droppy instead. Also, it leaves your lashes feeling very dry and crusty! Not ideal..

I didn't think much of this mascara. I felt it did not spread well, it clumped when applying to eyelashes and it was hard to get added length to my eyelashes. So I was very disappointed with this product and probably wouldn't purchase it again when I compare it to other mascara brands.
