Sorry it's been almost a week since my last blog post ladies :(. As I've only just started up I didn't want to post too much to begin with. I've decided I'm going to review 2 products a week and in between I might write a random blog post. I've noticed I've had a few blog viewings, so thank you ladies :) perhaps leave a comment next time? Would really love to hear your thoughts and opinions!
I bought this mascara at the beginning of the week, as the one I was using before had dried out, boo :(! A friend had recommended it to me, so I thought why not give it a whirl?!
The mascara is Maybelline's first gel-mousse mascara to help give massive volume to the lashes. The brush is an extra-soft patented flexor brush which is really good for reaching the tiny eyelashes, other brushes often miss. It aims at creating long and volumised lashes without making them hard and flaky to the touch and I did notice my lashes still felt soft after application.
Usually with mascaras I actually have to use two, as one just doesn't give me the desired look I want. Surprisingly, this mascara managed to do it! Admittedly it did take me 4 coats, but still it did it! It's all about personal preference, one coat would be perfect if you just want your natural lashes to look slightly longer and if you want them to look longer or thicker you just apply another coat. I would advise you to use eyelash curlers before applying the mascara - it really helps define those lashes even more! Honestly, I think all women should use eyelash curlers anyway, as they really do work!
I did have one problem with the mascara though, as the day went on I kept finding black marks underneath my eye where the mascara had melted almost. But it was a warm day so it could have been due to that? After wiping with a tissue the marks disappeared though so don't worry!
Maybelline Mega Plush Volum' Express Mascara retails at around £7.99. I think this is a reasonable price, as most mascaras are around £10 or more.
Rating: 2.5/5 - I do think the mascara is good and it definitely made my lashes longer; but the fact it took me 4 coats to achieve my desired look and it left black marks under my eyes; is the reason I gave it this rating.
