A couple of months ago, I realised that I'd had my mascara quite a bit longer than is recommended and as someone who has had more than their fair share of eye infections in the past, I knew it was time to start the search for a new mascara. I'd previously been using a No 7 mascara that I was given as a gift but I wasn't particularly enamoured with it and didn't relish paying the price tag. I usually have good experiences with Maybelline mascaras so I decided to look at what they had to offer. As you can tell from this review, I walked away with this particular mascara. THE WAND Having used a fair few Maybelline mascaras in the past, the wand here isn't ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to my eyelashes I like them thick, dense and very black so any new mascaras that promise at least one (but ideally all three!) of these effects is usally purchased pretty quickly by myself! And since I am usually very impressed by Maybellines other mascaras, when I saw "Volum' Express Turbo Boost" for sale in my local Boots and realised I hadn't tried it before I decided to give it a go.

I recently purchased a few make up items in the Maybelline range when they were on '3 for 2' in Boots.

I get through quite alot of mascara, I have fair hair and eyelashes and like to define my eyes with copious amounts of mascara. I also think finding a decent mascara can be a problem, there's the consideration of whether it clumps, runs, makes the eyelashes spidery, the brush type and size and lengthening effect. A while back I bought a Volum' Express Turbo Boost mascara by Maybelline from Boots. I paid £5.99 for it which is fairly average for a mascara but I only paid full price as I had some vouchers. I usually go on an online bargain hunt to see if I can find an item anywhere else for less. I found the mascara itself very effective, it doesn't ...  Read the complete review

maybelline volum express I have always found that Maybelline mascaras tend to "deliver", so I thought this would be good, and given that sometimes I know I won't be swimming or out in the rain, I sometimes don't need a waterproof one THE PROMISE...
