Does the job

It gets the job done, I used to use this allot. For the price it is defiantly worth it. But it doesn’t extend your lashes to their full potential like some other mascaras do. It lasts a long time and doesn’t dry out when not used regularly like some do.

Was a classic but no longer rate it

I came back to this a couple years ago after it being my absolute go to in my younger years. I'm sure it's still great, but I've moved on.

I now find the packaging a little dated and the wand too thin. The formula is okay - darkens lashes and makes them stand out, but no real lengthening, volumising or curling properties.

Basically, this is an entry level mascara that is affordable, wears well, isn't too dramatic and will last you throughout your day, but it's no longer what I like to wear on my eyes.

Tips: cheap enough to try - and great as a spare, starter, or if you're not a huge mascara fan.

Retro!

I love Maybelline mascaras and this was my favourite back in the 90s. I even remember my mum using it back in the 1970s. I did try it again recently just because it is such a classic, and for those retro vibes, but I was actually pretty disappointed.

As far as what I would have expected of a mascara back in the day, its fine. Back then I would have just expected something that coloured my lashes but nowadays I expect (and need) more! It doesn't really lengthen, thicken or curl, all of which my puny lashes need. So sadly, I'll be leaving this one in the past where it belongs.

Budget friendly mascara

I’ve been using this recently as I’m on a tighter budget, and it’s not bad for the price. Not amazing, but does the job.

Tips: A decent enough mascara if you are on a budget.

Does as it should

I purchased this mascara when I was in Whangarei for a wedding. It worked amazing for 1 day and then the heat and humidity ruined the texture of the mascara. It became runny and applied clumpily.

Tips: Keep in a cool area or it'll become runny

Could be better!

I mean, this used to be the holy grail when I was younger. Unfortunately when using it now, it is not as good when comparing to other mascaras. I always am up for trying new mascaras. This one does as it should and is a cheaper option for some people. I do find that it comes off and you can be left with panda eyes. Used to be great for my emo days but now? Not a look.

Tips: Definitely do two coats.

Good basic mascara

This is a good average mascara for everyday wear, but it didn't cover as good as I would have liked. The brush is average. Maybe ok for a Teens first mascara.

Good at going on, but smudges

Love how it goes on my lashes, but it smudges! I end up with smudges on the top of my eyes, under brow bone and also under my lower lash line, Super annoying!!

Tips: Maybe don't use oil based skincare? Perhaps a powder around your eyes might help. To be honest, not for me.

Not great

We have all used this. Maybe it was only great because there was nothing to compete with back in the 90's haha. Compeared to othe other mascara's on offer this is lacking.

Ordinary

I bought this as i had run out of mascara and thought this would be a good idea. It's nothing special, although I do like the brush and it separates my lashes nicely. However, it does tend to smudge after a while, so probably won't buy again
