Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara

I received a free full sample within an Ulta gift bag. I have heard so many good things about this mascara and had to try it. I do like the fun colors of the pink and green container. I have very stubborn eyelashes that naturally go down and takes a great deal of effort to lift them upwards. I have to heat my eye curler and then immediately apply mascara.

This mascara is a nice black but not alot of product comes out of the tube. I have small eyes so the wand is the perfect size for almond eyes. It gets all the lashes. I had to apply 3 coats to really get the black to show on my lashes, but as the formula dried by lashes fell. If you have naturally curly lashes, this might work for you.

My holy grail mascara for almond eyes with stubborn lashes is Waterproof YSL and Laurel Lash Paradise.

PRO: small wand allows to get into the inner part of the eye
does not smudge and/or transfers to bottom/top lid

CON: Does not curl lashes
Slight stinging sensation when applied but goes away once dry.

Great Lash mascara isn’t a good product. It takes a few applications to actually show up at all, and it clumps up around my eyelids. I don't understand how this product has managed to sell so well...

This mascara did not work for me at all. The brush applicator doesn’t coat my lashes well or curl. I kept it as it was perfect to apply to my lower lashes without the mess of bigger mascara applicators.

I use this mascara to help make others look better. Separates nicely like a comb. Blackest black is perfect. Used alone, I don't get enough length but combined with any other brand is perfect for me. I use the straight wand only.

It's just a basic mascara. Nothing to rave about but does the job. Great for the price and if you already have long and thick lashes, this would be great for you.

I used to use this mascara back in the 70's , and back then, I got amazing length and volume. I'm not sure why, but it seems like this once very loved mascara (like an old friend) went downhill. It adds nothing at all, even the blackest black doesn't show up at all on my lashes. I even tried using a lash primer first, and it still didn't add anything. I'm so disappointed.

The only people who love this product are those who already have great lashes.

I have various 'impact' mascara's for nights out, ones that are like BAM! LASHES! This is not one of those. So, if that's what you want do not buy this. You'll be disappointed like so many other reviewers. But, I wasn't looking for one of those.

I have naturally long black lashes but they are blonde at the tip. For a subtle, day time look I really just want something that colours the end and adds a little definition. For me, this is perfect for that.

The only thing I hate is the packaging.

All this does is make your lashes black. That's it. No lengthening. No volumising. Just tint in a bottle basically.

Okay first of all I always get it on sale at either 4 or 5CAD. It is often on sale and it becomes worth it . This has been in my makeup bag since I was 13 ( obviously changed it since but you get it ). It is affordable and an AMAZING product when you think of it's price. You can't compare to Lancôme or Benefit, but when you think about the fact it dries up after a month or so, it's a good product for a cheap price that won't break your wallet to swtich every month.
They have a HUGE range compared to other mascara lines in any brand. You have different shades of black as well as brown, transparent and blue. They offer waterproof as well. Many different wands too.
It is not my first choice, but i use it as a back up because TBH that thing never dries up and when it does you add a bit of saline and you are good to go. I don't know about you but I am way too scared to add saline in a 30CAD mascara but a 5CAD one? Hell yeah.
Travel friendly and easy tu use. Basically the first mascara of alot of 90's ladies and yet it's still on the market!
You can't go wrong with this one.
