the brush is terrible. all the adverts for it mention 'no clumps' which is complete crap because the bristles are so short loads of product is applied to the lashes and you are unable to comb it out.

This is a pretty good mascara, but nothing amazing. It is a bit wet when first used, but gets a better consistency as you use it. The packaging was pretty, and the brush is a tad hard, but still effective. It did give length and volume, but did become a bit clumpy after a few coats (the wand applies lots of product). For the bottom lashes, I would recommend applying to your top ones first, and without dipping again, apply to the bottom. One thing that I will add is that it is indeed, very hard to get off. I slept with it once (very bad, I know) and it was pretty much intact, which is an example of long lasting. Overall, not bad, but not perfect.

This is the first Maybelline Mascara I really like and I probably will stick with for a long time.

It's just perfect. It's not too expensive, and the pretty colors on the packaging are cool. The actual mascara is great, it stays on all day, lengthens very well, thickens, volumizes, and it doesn't clump easily, only if you put a whole bunch on, which I only do a coat or two.

I will later post a picture, but overall this mascara is just unicorn poop amazing.

Mascara is so tough to review as whether or not we like a particular one is so individual. This one performed well and I liked the brush and formula and it did thicken and lengthen but IT WOULD NOT COME OFF! I usually run warm water over my fingertips and work my lashes between them to loosen and remove most of my mascara and then follow up with coconut oil or a makeup remover but seriously guys, this mascara took FOREVER to come off! I would not repurchase this as ease of removal is important to me, I don't want to have to work that hard and risk losing lashes for any mascara when there are so many of them.

This mascara is nice if you want huge lashes but if you're more into the natural look, I wouldn't recommend this. My eyelashes are already really long and full but you cant notice because they are blond. I got this hoping it would separate my lashes but it is pretty clumpy. Not extremely but it is. I would buy this again only if I needed a mascara that I would want to make it look like im wearing fake eyelashes or a dramatic eye.

I love this mascara! The brush takes a little getting used to but applies nicely. This mascara really doesn't volumize much considering it's a volume express mascara... But it lengthens very well! This mascara stayed on better than the flashies flared yet it was A LOT easier to remove! This is probabalu my favorite drugstore mascara right now!

I bought the nonwaterproof version and I typically like rubber bristles, however these are too short, to where it is hard to apply without poking my eyelid with the wand. It did create lots of volume, which was great, however it did not hold a curl, so my lashes were stick straight to where they were not really visible. Whatever you do not try to curl your lashes after applying this! I tried to a it sticks to the curler and ripped out a lot of lashes, leaving me with a bald spot. Then I when I tried to remove it with my normal oil based remover it was soo difficult to try to remove, so I lost more lashes. It will take me forever to try to grow my lashes back out!

I really did NOT like this mascara. First off, it did nothing for my lashes. Second, as previous reviews said, it wouldn't come off - even my waterproof eye makeup remover was nearly useless. Third strike was that the little fibres would constantly irritate my eyes, which was so annoying at at times rather painful.
Never again will I buy this mascara. I'll stick to my Rimmel when I'm skint and Lancôme when I'm flush!

This is my second favorite mascara. I love maybelline's mascaras and they did not disappoint with this one! Gives me great volume with a decent amount of length. By the end of the day I see little or No flaking. Will repurchase!
