Horrible, terrible, the worst I have ever tried. It made my lashes fall out and flaked all day. And it would not come off even with makeup remover. This is total garbage I had to put 10 coats on to see results at all. I will be sticking to Tarte mascara or loreal thanks!

This is a great mascara for the price and I feel like it's definitely one of my favorite drug store products. It cost me around six or seven bucks, and the only other Maybelline mascara I tried was great lash, which I found too wet and it flaked. The good news about this mascara is even though it's a bit on the wet side it dries quickly and doesn't flake. It gives absolutely great volume that makes it look as if you have a lot of lashes, and your lashes never look chunky/spidery. My only qualm is it takes a few coats to get the length really going but if you want great volumizing mascara that doesn't clump any of your lashes together, this is absolutely wonderful.

This product did nothing for me but flaked and smudged all over the place right away. I looked like a raccoon. I love Maybelline mascaras so I'm really disappointed. I'm going to try to keep using it, sometimes I don't like mascaras right away but after a few days they thicken up and I end up liking them better. Hopefully that is the case, if so I will update.

I rated this mascara a 3 for price because I don't buy a lot of makeup, so I don't really know how much a tube of mascara typically costs. I also rated the packaging a 3 because...well. It was fine. It was a package, that held the mascara. Good in my books!

I've tried 3 different mascaras in the last little while and none of them really did much for me. One was cheap and went on really nicely, but flaked all over my face within the first few hours. One was more expensive (to me....) and didn't go on so nicely, but it stayed put. The other was a waterproof that was SOOOOOOOOO waterproof nothing I tried would remove it all.

I saw in a flyer that the "Mega Plush Volum" was on sale for $9.99 at Shoppers Drug Mart, and beside the tube there was a photo of the brush, which looked promising to me. I always seem to get those "triangle lash clumps" and had never seen a brush as full as this one, so I decided maybe I'd pick some up. But uckily I had the image of what the tube looked like in my head, because I ended up seeing it on a display at Walmart and it was only $5.96!! Score!

I must say, this review might be a bit premature, but I am EXCITED about this mascara!! It went on soooo nicely, smoothly, no stickyness or clumping. They don't feel stiff or cakey, either. I've applied 2 coats. I guess I should try it out for a few days and if anything changes I will update this review. But for now I just wanted to say my first impression is AMAZING!

I am very skeptical of Maybelline mascaras ever since I have tried multiple from the Volum' Express line and none of I liked.This one is a break through mascara. Which is why I thought I would give it a try.And let me say Maybelline has outdone themselves on this, it has a great formula that goes easy on your lashes and does not clump at all. And it adds a pretty equal volume to length ratio. I don't have a problem with the formula although i wish it was a tad bit more volumizing so I layer it with my LashBlast Fusion (purple tube).For a good mascara, I find the price to be okay.I think I would purchase this again, but probably not right away. I have reccommended this to friends and they have been satisfied too. I think it is worth a shot whether you like Maybelline mascaras or not, I don't love them and this product worked out great for me. And if you don't like it oh well, you can add to list of products you won't try again. I wouldn't say this is my holy grail mascara but i do use it everyday and enjoy it. I also think the packaging is absoutley aborable!

Cute packaging has got me again! I really wanted to like this mascara after having several friends reccomend it, and the fact that it's cheap, but I've had absolutely no reason to. I've found the only thing this mascara does is darken my lashes, and smudge all over the place. No lengthening or volume success. They certainly do not look mega or plush! I would not buy this again.

I LOVE THIS MASCARA. My holy grail mascara before I found this one was Maybelline Full N' Soft waterproof, but the mega plush is 100x better! I was really skeptical because I had tried The Falsies, and I didn't like it. Actually, I was suspicious of all mascaras in general, because I had ALSO recently tried the covergirl NatureLuxe mascara (which got rave reviews from hollyannaeree and pinkiecharm), and hated it as well.

For reference, I am asian. I have long lashes, though, which is unusual for asians, but they are absolutely STICK STRAIGHT. It is difficult for me to find a mascara that holds a curl. I use the Shiseido eyelash curler, which is a must for me.

Even on the first application, the mascara was not too wet (note that I bought the WATERPROOF version), and there was not a SINGLE clump on my lashes. That is a personal pet peeve of mine, when girls walk around with black, chunky, clumpy lashes. It just looks gross. But this applied so lightly and smoothly, I was shocked. Because of the bendy wand, the mascara applied in a feathery, airy way, which is very unique to other mascaras I own. I adore this mascara.

The best part is how well it holds my curl! I can go an entire day without re-curling my lashes!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is incredible to me because in all my 18 years of life, I have never found a mascara like this.

Make sure you buy the waterproof version though!

i bought this mascara as a impulse buy, since the packaging was my favourite colour and it was a new product. at first i HATED this mascara, it felt like it does nothing to your eyelashes and it looked like i didnt put anything on! BUT the second and third coat make all of the difference! you just have to keep on putting thin layers and this will do exactly as it says! the formula is really light so it doesnt weigh my lashes down. its easy to take off but its long lasting! for me the only con is that the brush is kind of weird and the flexible wand takes time to get used to. but i would definitely repurchase this product again1 :)

I really love this mascara! My eyelashes are pretty long, but my issue is in the volume of them, and this really make them look thick and pretty. Also, it indeed make my lashes soft and not the least bit dry or flaky. This is great mascara for the price.

I want my mascara to hold a curl, make my lashes look thick and glorious and not leave me with smudging under my eyes. Didn’t get it here.
The kiss of death for any mascara is when it kills the curl in my lashes. This mascara killed the curl.
When mascara is promoted as giving volume, I assume my lashes will look long, thick and plush giving the illusion there’s more there than meets the eye. This mascara did not give my lashes any volume.
When packaging says mascara will separate and define lashes, I’m thinking my lashes will look fanned out, lush and not clumped together. This left my lashes stuck together making it look like I had three top lashes. It did leave my lashes feeling flexible and somewhat soft.
I found it to be too wet for my liking. Not sure if that’s the reason I ended up with major smudging at the end of the day or because I have oily lids. Read a lot of comments about the cute packaging and it is cute, but if what’s inside doesn’t work, then it doesn’t matter how cute the tube looks. KWIM? Generally, I am a fan of Maybelline mascara. Not this one. Back to Volum’ Express One By One.
