My Thoughts
I'm not going to lie, I didn't like it at first, I thought it was rubbish. I didn't feel it defined my lashes or gave them volume, but after leaving it for a couple of weeks to thicken up a bit I started using it again and I've been super impressed with it. I mean, just look at the picture above, they look amazing!
They say "Now, the most explosive, beautiful lashes ever! Supersonic Brush, and Fast Glide formula, Loads on big, sleek volume instantly"
Now it's at the stage I like, I find I'm reaching for it every day. The one thing I don't like about it though, is despite it not being waterproof, it's quite tough to remove, it takes quite a lot of rubbing with the Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser to get rid of it. But you could also flip that around and say it has great staying power :) Another thing I really love about it is the wand, it's just like the Cover Girl Lash Blast wand, it's almost the same! I find that the big rubbery wands like that work best on me for getting the product on to my lashes, unlike big fluffy wands.
I haven't had any panda eyes from this when using it on my bottom lashes either, just great defined lashes on both bottom set and top set. As long as Maybelline keep making this, I plan to keep re-purchasing it, I actually (and OMG, I can't believe I'm saying this!) prefer it to The Falsies!!!! Yep, the wand is so much better, I kid you not!
Have you tried this yet? Did you like it?

Thanks Sophie :) It really is great mascara :)
DeleteI bought this a while ago but didn't like them. I usually use Maybellines Colossal Volum' Express - which is my holy grail, and I was a little disappointed in the results I got from this. I really wanted to like it though!

Hi Callie, I can't say I've gotten on that well with Colossal... I don't find it does anything for my lashes :/ Funny how we're all different :)
DeleteI was exactly the same with this mascara, I do love it but like you say it's an absolute pain to get off! I find myself scrubbing with my eye make up remover and then still having some under my eyes when I wake up.

I know, it's a nightmare to remove, how it's not waterproof I'll never know!
DeleteHmm, sounds like I really need to try this :)
ReplyDeleteIt's great, you'll love it :)
DeleteDon't you feel like most mascaras are just getting better after a few weeks, when are a tiny bit dryer than in the beginning?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely - there's a few which are great straight off the bat, but most improve once they thicken up :)
DeleteThis looks great Georgina(if you didn't already know I'm a total mascara addict anyway!) The brush reminds me of Max Factor's False Lash Effect xx
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried any Max Factor mascaras - I know, bad blogger!
DeleteThis really does look good, Maybelline mascara's are all the same- they all need a few weeks use to get them to their full potential, weird! xx
ReplyDeleteDefinitley Gemma :) It's the same with all of them :)
