So... This mascara is a disaster on me. When I opened the tube, the wand seemed really flimsy(think elbow) and it made it hard to apply the mascara. Overall, I like the brush. It gave a natural but long and voluminous look. The formula... ehhh. After a few hours, I had mascara smudges under my eyes. I don't think I'll be buying this again

This mascara works perfect for me. I love that the more I put on, the more that goes on. A lot of mascaras I've tried don't seem to take after applying numerous coats. The brush is large, which I like, but it's difficult to apply on lower lashes- not a big deal tho bc I just use an old mascara for those lashes.

I'm always on the hunt for a newer and better mascara so I'm constantly changing and trying new things. This one has been a go to of mine for a while. One coat makes my lashes pretty big and thick. The color is not as jet black as I would prefer and the formula flakes onto the cheeks a bit. I

Horrible to take off. It adhered mightly to lashes at the base (resistant to remover) then finally came off in big hard flakes onto my face that were very difficult to get off. The color and application were good at first, seemed smooth, but any mascara that I didn't get off melded with the new application to make a clumpy hard mess. This is going back to the store, if I can, otherwise in the trash!

ahhh Maybelline The Mega Plush, how do i hate thee? let me count thy ways... first of all, the construction of this wand just *might be* the worst idea in mascara design yet. it is as if the wand is broken in half about 90% (like a snapped tree branch, or better yet, an elbow!) but is just hanging on enough to flop all over the place and give you no control when you're trying to apply. the brush/bristles, which look like they would provide nice rich color and good volume/separation, do neither even remotely. this is probably the most natural looking mascara i have ever tried, and believe me, i've tried 95% of low-end mascaras and 80% of high-end mascaras. it is almost impossible to get this brush to coat your lashes, yet somehow while it doesn't deliver enough product to evenly cover your lashes, it provides enough product to produce major clumps. the finished look of this is very miniscule, wimpy, barely there lashes that also manage to be clumpy. this mascara also kills the natural curl i have in my lashes to begin with, making them even MORE invisible! and to take the cake, this is the only non-waterproof mascara that i have ever had a problem removing. last night i washed my face with first my CeraVe foaming cleanser, then when that failed to remove this awful mascara i rinsed and washed again with a Clean and Clear cleanser, and when there was still mascara on my lashes, i dried my face off and had to get out my MAC Cleansing Oil to finally rid my face of this disaster. i can't imagine that the scientists and marketing team at Maybelline tested out this mascara and decided to mass produce it! a truly outstandingly horrible product. possibly the worst mascara i've ever owned. i would give this a zero if i could.

I purchased this cause I was intrigued by the formula. It's in my top 5 mascaras for sure. However it's not one i'd continuously repurchase if that makes any sense? I like the way my lashes look, more of a natural look compared to when I want something super dramatic. The formula is kind of wet which isn't something I really like. I prefer my lashes to be stiff and this doesn't give that at all, so that is another draw back for me. I like to layer this with The Rocket Volume or any other volumizing mascara. But it's good for days I don't wanna wear lots of makeup on its own. I definitely think it's good to have in your collection, but not something i'd die to be without.

I pretty much bought this mascara just because I liked the color of the tube and I liked the commercial. Other than that this mascara just didn't work for me. It didn't do much for me. It flakes first of all. As far as volume goes, I just didn't get that. And as far as length goes, ya I didn't see that either. Definetly won't repurchase.

This mascara is absolutely awful. It smudges, clumps, and does NOTHING to my lashes. I have long, full, black lashes, and this mascara made me look like I have 5 lashes. The only reason that I bought this is because the packaging lied to me and claimed that the brush is full and the wand is curved. I feel cheated... Definitely not worth it.

This mascara is gotta be my favorite of all mascaras so far. I absolutely love it. I have long, dark eyelash. And they make my eyelashes look fake. I have so many people come up to me and ask what mascara I use as well as fake eyelashes! In which I dont wear :) (fake eyelashes) It volumizes perfectly, lengthens, and its jet black. Your lashes after application will be, "mega plush," instead of hard and clumpy. It doesnt start to clump til the fourth coat of mascara. And ive had it for like 4 months and it is still pretty wet. The wand is pretty huge and bendable and easy to apply
Pro's: Wet, barely clumps, lots of volume, lengthens, eyelashes become very long, eyelashes become soft, great appearance, amazing price, very black, stays wet, bendable brush, large wand, cute color, cute packaging

Cons: Mascara seems to come off at end of the day

I absolutely loooooove this mascara. Most mascara's basically give me the same results. I have long eyelashes, and I've tried high end and drugstore brands. This mascara lengthens, and volumizes my eyelashes. I've recommended it to a few people and they have all loved it!

This is honestly one of the best mascaras I have ever used. I have very long, very curly lashes and I ADORE this! It gives me everything I need: it's jet black. It provides me with length, separation, and volume. It does not smudge when used on my lower lashline. It leaves my lashes nice and flexible, not stiff and crunchy. I love this stuff! As for the packaging, I think the colors they used are lovely: I really have nothing to complain about on that front. The only thing is the wand is flexible, when you pull it out of the tube it has some give to it, it bends. It threw me off when I first opened the product, and whilst I do wish the wand was a regular stiff wand, the bottom line is that it does not affect the application of the product or the way that it goes on my lashes. I honestly adore this mascara and will continue to repurchase, I've found my new HG :)

Pros: Stays soft, gives lots of volume.

Cons: The oversized flexible brush is an unnecessary gimmick, which ultimately diminishes control. I want my wand stiff, if ya know what I mean!
Lastly, it has a tendency to make the ends of my lashes look a little spidery if I apply too much.

I might buy this product again, if I can't find something better.

I don't usually go all out for mascara as i usually wear false ones but I needed something to give my eyelashes a break that would still give me the false eyelash look. Soo, this isn't exactly a horrible mascara, but it isn't amazing either. Doesn't clump, doesn't look flaky but it also doesn't add the "mega plush" look either.. more like a natural eyelash. Even if you keep adding layers it still does not get there. I probably will use this a few times when I wear more natural looking makeup (which is almost never) as for the majority of the time it will stay in my collection untouched.

This mascara is downright glorious. It separates my lashes perfectly and plumps them up without adding extra weight or making them crunchy. My lashes feel soft and almost fluffy while I'm wearing this. It doesn't smudge or flake, so it doesn't irritate my super sensitive eyes like a lot of other mascaras I have. I will absolutely repurchase this mascara again. I have a decent number of mascaras in my collection, including two high end ones, and Mega Plush out performs them all.

I was pretty disappointed with this mascara. The brush is terrible!! It does not separate the lashes at all. It makes my lashes get really clumpy, and it gives me spider lashes when I try to do more than one coat. The only positive was that it didn't flake.

The first time I used this mascara I was in love. It goes on really smoothly, with no clumps and makes your lashes look very full and long. Didn't flake off either. HOWEVER, when it came time to take it off at the end of the day, it was like trying to scrape cement off my lashes. It would not come off even with straight baby shampoo. Also, the tube of product dries out REALLY quickly. I had this mascara not even two weeks, and it was dried out and clumpy. I had to throw it away. I tried a second tube and it did the same thing. Replacing cheap mascara that often gets to be as expensive as the high-end brands.

Bottom line:
Pros - Really black, makes my lashes look great, inexpensive
Cons - Impossible to get off, dries out very quickly

I love this mascara! It's my HG from the drugstore. At first, I didn't think that I would like it much but after about 2-3 uses, it made my lashes look amazing! I like it because it makes my lashes look really nice and long, but it looks natural and perfect for everyday. I like that while it gives me nice definition, it doesn't feel like I have tins if mascara on, when I touch my lashes it feels soft and like I don't have a lot of mascara on.

The packaging is quite cute, I like the colors that they chose for this mascara. I would definitely purchase this again, it's even up thee with my favorite high end mascaras!

I'm really liking this mascara. granted it's not the best I've had, but with 3 coats it works perfectly. Gives me a lot of length.

I would buy it again, if it's on sale. not if it wasn't.
