Great Lash Mascara Reviews

This is my workhorse mascara that I always come back to when others disappoint or dry up. It's always reliable for me and I find this version in particular to be the best affordable mascara on the market.

The packaging is bright so I never lose it and love the wand so much that when I use one up I clean it off and keep it about as my 'tidy-up spoolie'! This is a forever re-buy for me and I pick one up whenever I spot them on special.

Maybelline great lash mascara comes in a 12.7ml pink bottle. Its a no fuss mascara and perfect for giving your lashes a naturally defined look. It spreads on thinly and does not leave clumps in your lashes, giving them a natural look without loking fake. I always apply it after applying all my other makeup so that eyeshadow and face powder do not dull the final lash effect. Perfect for those you are after a natural looking mascara. Not for someone wanting really defined lashes.

This is a cult classic mascara that has been around ever since I can remember. I remember my mum using this when I was younger, and I'm pretty sure it was the first mascara I ever purchased.

I still use it to this day, it's great quality for a great price.

It does a good job at coating and sepearating lashes. It isn't the best mascara for volume or thickness, it's more suited to an everyday natural look.

The formula is creamy and clump free. It's quick drying and it doesn't transfer to my eyelids.

The great lash mascara from Maybelline has a cult following so of course I had to hop on the train to see what all the fuss was about. Maybe its the eye catching neon pink and green colour of the mascara tube or the fact that beauty editors everywhere harp on and on about this mascara but when I bought this mascara I had high expectations. What a let down that was.

Its just a regular mascara for me. It coats my lashes, thickening and lengthening it but did not perform any miracles. My eye lashes are pretty straight and don't hold a curl well and these did nothing to help hold a curl. Its just a basic, affordable mascara.

The Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara is a mascara i used many years ago when I was younger as it gave more of a natural look. It coats and darkens the lashes nicely, it is very easy to use but I found it didn't thicken and lengthen the lashes as much as all the other mascaras in the Maybelline range. I think it'll be great for someone who likes a natural look or for younger teens.

This used to be a classic go to mascara. I have been buying the black waterproof one for years as I love swimming. It used to a great cheap mascara. A couple of times in the past I tried a few other brands but always come back to this one. My last bottle that I bought a couple of months ago was not that great. It was messy. It also did not give length and thickness like it used to. Even after applying 3 coats I could not get the effect I wanted to achieve. I found with this particular one I have to always clean up mistakes which I never had to before. I have been applying make up for years and rarely had this problem before. Either my makeup skills are not that great anymore(have got worse over the years which I don't suspect!) or the quality of this particular maybelline mascara has gone down hill. I won't buy this mascara anymore which is a shame. I will be moving on to something else and new to try. It really doesn't do the job anymore and it is frustrating to apply.

I purchased Maybelline New York Great Mascara on special and have been using it for a couple of weeks. The consistency is more wet compared to other mascaras I have use and after applying I find that it smudges around my eyes, after a couple of hours I look like a raccoon.

I would not recommend this mascara to anyone even if you find it on special. I am not sure what the hype is about.

I have heard so much about this pink and green packaged iconic mascara - Maybelline Great Lash - so I was very excited to try this. Perhaps my expectation was high, I did not find this live up to its reputation. After I curled my lashes, I applied this and found that it was not easy to coat the mascara onto the lashes - many coats were required to see the mascara. Even then it did not give me the volume and length that I wanted. It was also quite clumpy (perhaps due to the fact that many coats were required). It's also not smudge-proof/water-proof, and after a few hours the mascara already smudged to the lower eye lid. I would not recommend this to anyone.

I have used this mascara in the shade blackest black, which comes in a pink tube with a green lid and a classic wand applicator. There is no fancy shape the the applicator bristles, but the colour applies quite well to the lashes and the bristles have no issues in distributing the product evenly around the lashes. I've always seen this mascara as a very no-frills mascara in that it's quite basic and cheap, but it works well in darkening, volumising and lengthening the lashes and is a good everyday mascara as it doesn't make the lashes appear overly dramatic, but rather maintains a natural lash-look and is also very easy to remove, so it's also time saving in that you don't have to spend ages using copious amounts of eye makeup remover to get rid of the product off your lashes before bed. This would be an ideal mascara for girls who are just starting out with using mascara, or anyone wanting a budget mascara that is still of good quality.
