WHAT IS IT?

A mascara from Maybelline that promises to thicken my eyelashes. It is a budget mascara and costs less than £5, Great Lash mascara is available in black or brown-black.

HOW IT LOOKS

I do not like the tube at all, it is pink and green and looks like a mascara you would buy for a young girl.  The brush is very short and thin, the bristles are tightly spaced but clog up very quickly if you do not use the mascara regularly.  If you wipe the brush on the inside of the tube the mascara can be seen on the outside and that makes the pink portion look stained and untidy.

APPLICATION

This is a weak mascara so requires more coats than average just to attain a made up look.  For light definition I use two coats but if I want very dark lashes I would need to apply at least four coats and that isn't practical so I use something else for evening wear.  The brush often leaves clumps of mascara on my eyelashes, these are removed easily with an eyelash comb but means it takes even longer to apply my mascara.

WHAT I THINK

I do not like this mascara because application takes me such a long time and the effects aren't as good as I can achieve when using other mascara.  It's very cheap and the mascara rubs off my eyelashes very quickly, I always have smudges of mascara under my eyes after a few hours and can see the mascara rubbing off on my finger when I touch my lashes even lightly hours after application.  

It doesn't add any length to my eyelashes but does make them look thicker.  I dislike the way it clumps along my lash line and the way the mascara makes my eyelashes droop downwards because it can make my eyes look tired.  It also makes my eyes sore sometimes but this isn't all the time.
