I just bought it and it's still in the package, I was reading over the reviews and noticed a lot of people are saying this product is not so good but have you ever wondered if there is a specific WAY to put it on? maybe some of you are applying more heavy coats thus making it look the way it does. I suggest getting an eyebrow brush, putting the mascara on the tooth side and applying it that way and see if you get the results you did last time, I find doing my eyelashes with a brow comb looks ten times better than with the wand itself. :)

Flaky, flaky, flaky!! I was not impressed with this mascara!! It did nothing special for my lashes and more importantly was flaking all over my face by the end of the day. Will not buy again.

Weak weak weak. This mascara doesn't live up to its claims. Well, it's not... terrible. If it were the last mascara on earth, I'd still use it. But in all dead seriousness, for eight bucks, Mega Plush is NOT worth it.The brush is enormous and unwieldy (in fact, it's stabby and pokey, too), and the formula isn't thick or dark enough. My lashes just aren't granted the volume, fullness and length this mascara promises. My beloved Jordana mascara actually lives up to Mega Plush's claims without the fuss. And Jordana is three dollars.
Oh, but I do love Mega Plush's packaging. The teal and magenta color scheme, and the logo, are adorable. That's definitely not enough to save it, though. There are just better mascaras out there for less than half the price.
Oh well, I tried. And returned. And bought more Jordana. :P

Unlike many reviewers, I actually LOVED this mascara. It made my lashes jet black, thick, glossy, and fluttery. No clumps, just thick beautiful dark long lashes. But... And it's a big but for me- I couldn't get it off without really rubbing my lashes. That to me is a deal breaker because I am not willing to irritate my eyelids or lose lashes from rubbing to take off a daily mascara. I even double checked the packaging to make sure I hadn't bought the waterproof version, which I hadn't. Such a bummer because I think this mascara performed so well. I am a mascara fiend(!) although I have only tried a handful of drugstore mascaras. I really can say this performed better than Lancôme hypnose drama, Dior Show, etc.
Why did they make this formula so difficult to remove, even with powerful eye makeup remover?! I thought this would be my new everyday mascara. Total bummer.

I bought this product about a month ago and so far I've enjoyed it! I'll give it 4 lippies because the packaging is adorable and I love the flexable wand because it gets my entire lash, not just the base and middle. With other mascaras I would have to go downwards on the tip of my lash, which makes them look clumpy, but with this I only have to do a few upward strokes to achieve a "babydoll" look! It also catches lower lashes without getting on my skin!
The only thing I don't like is the fact that it cost me around $8 U.S. and it does not build well!

I'm in a mascara slump right now. I just don't understand all these new brushes on the market. This one would be fine except for the flexible part- it doesn't get all my lashes. In fact, I got it all over my lids. The actual mascara seemed too light in consistency and by the time I got it dark enough, it was 4 coats later and starting to clump. Yes, I like that my eyelashes are not stiff. That's a step in the right direction, but a normal brush would have been much better.

i purchased this because of a youtube beauty guru by the name of pixi2woo. her lashes looked AMAZING. so i went to target and got this and used it for the first time today. the flexible wand makes it so much more convenient to get into the corners of the eyes and gives great coverage without having to apply a milllion times. my lashes looked 10x longer and felt softer and looked much more fuller, all while looking natural. i loooove this mascara, i usually have clumping problems with most mascaras but this one is so great, if you usually have clump problems and dont like the overly obvious mascara coated lashes look, invest in this mascara. its that great.

The volum express collosal in the yellow tube is my go-to favorite mascara, but for some reason the turquoise packaging of this made me purhase this instead. First of all, I love the brush itself (it is the same as collosal) except it is so wobbly!! I have to really concentrate to not get mascara all over the place. I dont find any advantages to having such a flexible wand. The gel consistency does nothing for me in terms of volume or length. I wouldn't say it is a terrible mascara, but it is not for me and I will not be repurchasing.

I LOVE all of Maybelline's mascaras, they are amazing and make my lashes look sooo pretty. Apparently this mascara was not the best. It doesn't make my lashes crunchy and hard which is a good thing because the Colossal formula was very crisp. I loved the gel-mousse formula, but it did not make my lashes have lots of volume or length.

I was pleasently surprised by this mascara.I really love it it gave me tons of volume and length.I bought mine in blackest black and the color indeed is a true black.It doesn't really hold a curl,but it does make my lashes so soft and fluttery.I can really layer this mascara with absolutely no clumping which is awesome.I will absolutely repurchase this mascara and I highly recommend it.
