Hey my divas! Welcome back to my blog. Okay, so today what I'm reviewing is very close to my heart. I feel like a good mascara can absolutely change the look of your eyelashes and hence your eyes. For me, a perfect mascara should build on volume without getting clumpy, should lengthen my otherwise limpy eyelashes and should hold on the curl of my lash. If a mascara does that for me, I'm good-to-go!
ALL the mascaras that I've tried from Maybelline are really good. And if somebody asks me "Which mascara clan are you in, Maybelline, Covergirl or L'oreal?", I would without a a doubt say Maybelline! Their mascaras are close to perfection. For you all, I'm going to be reviewing four of them right now. Each one has specific characteristics and what I call 'super-powers' and I leave it to you to find your perfect match.
The Rocket Volume Express
This is my favourite mascara in the whole universe. Definitely my ride-or-die. I love this one, to the point that I keep repurchasing it once it gets over. I'm on my ninth tube of this goodness.
It has a massive jet-glide shaped brush, as they like to call it. But it's just a nice, gigantic silicone brush with lots of minute bristles to really work through every tiny lash. The brush looks a little like Benefit's They're Real Mascara. The formula of this mascara is magical. It's unicorn goodness for me. It catches every single baby lash of mine and builds on intense volume making them look a thousand times thicker, blacker and voluminous than they actually are. However I don't think it does a good job in the lengthening part. But that isn't an issue for me because my lashes are long, just not thick.
One coat of this, superb! Two coats, MAGIC! Three coats, just on point spidery eyelashes which are so in vogue these days.
Definitely get this one if you can. It's a STUNNER!
I'd give it a 5/5.
The Falsies Volume Express
As the name suggests, it's a nice buildable mascara which give you a false lash effect. However, it didn't work for me that great. It does provide volume and depth but doesn't multiply your lashes to give it a falsies-effect. I did observe, however, that it really helps to fan out the lashes. But I think Maybelline has gone a little over-board in naming this one. It's a pretty good mascara, though.
It's brush is an ordinary mascara wand but with a light curvature. When you wiggle the spoon-feeding side across your lashline, it builds alot of drama and volume. The curvature helps to curl your lashes slightly. I've also noticed that it lengthens the lash hair nicely, too.
So I'd suggest if you have fairly thick lashes which are stunted and grow straight, this mascara might become your holy grail.
I'd give it a 4.5/5.
The One by One Volume Express
A nice mascara to keep. Has a really cool bristly, comby silicone mascara wand that really separates and coats each individual lash. It's more of a lengthening mascara in my opinion, since it doesn't really volumize or thicken the lashes.
It's good for people who are born with naturally gorgeous lashes and just need a little bit of drama and pigment to accentuate them. Also, if your lashes are a little unruly and grow all over the place, I think it's a great one to choose because of its great separating powers.
I'd give it a 3.5/5.
The Great Lash
One of the very first mascaras that Maybelline ever created. It has a normal kind of a wand, not too special in any way. It builds onto lashes, intensifies, gives a tiny bit of volume and holds the curl of your lash.
Apart from that, the main issue of this mascara is how drying it is to the lashes. I observed flaking and itsy bitsy mascara clinging onto my under-eyes once it dries off. I also observed that I lose alot of eyelash hairs in it's removal which was a complete turn off.
However if you're in search of a pocket-friendly mascara, this maybe the one you're trying to find.
I'd give it a 2.5/5.
Availability
All of these mascaras are available at any Maybelline counter. The volume express mascars retail for PKR 995-1050 each, depending onto the retailer. While, the Great Lash is for PKR 445.
I hope this review was helpful to you in any way, shape or form. Have a good day!
