Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara Review!

Hello everyone! I am really sorry that I haven't been blogging much at all lately. I promise, I will try my hardest to keep up with my posts, as I do love blogging but I haven't had the time, products and ideas to do it. I don't know why but I haven't felt like doing it at all either, which sounds 'mean' but I do love you really! I'm still here:)

Anyway, this mascara came out to the UK last weekend, and I was SO excited to see it! I had no idea is was even coming here, but when I saw it I immediately thought of all these American/Canadian youtubers talking about it and saying how much they love it in all of their videos.

The brush itself is crazy! There is a sort of long oval structure to it, but the bristles look pretty random.

The formula is seriously cool! It seems to just be so 'soft'; it's not super runny like some I've found. On the packaging, it says that it is a 'mousse gel formula' which explains the amazing-ness of it! It just makes the brush work more, I think if it was not such a good formula it wouldn't work very well at all.

There is this sort of bend bit near the bristles on the brush, I think it's to help it get out more product out of the bottle & also to get right into the corners of your eyes to get the mascara on all of your lashes. When I first saw this I thought that it would annoy me and make the wand not very stable and it would move a bit when I'm applying it, but it doesn't seem to be the case at all. It doesn't move (from what I notice) when I'm applying it, woohoo!

-Before-

-After-

You can see there the before & after pictures, I used eyelash curlers too, but the point is that it doesn't clump! The formula and the brush really mix well together and create very full and voluminous lashes!

I think the main reason why I did buy this is because of this- when I bought it (I think still currently!)it was already £2 off, because in boots they had an offer which showed that all Maybelline mascaras were up to £3 off. I then went over to the advantage card machine thing and I found on my exclusive offers a voucher which gave me another £2 off! Yes for money off!

The actual retail price is usually £8, so I only got it for £4. If you can, have a look on your exclusive offers because you never know what offers/coupons/vouchers you can get! I have checked on the website of boots but I can't seem to find it on there! If you see this mascara in a boots near you then I highly recommend checking it out, especially as it's £2 off anyway!

Thank you for reading, hope this helped!

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara | Review w/ Pictures

Hello readers! Here is a review on the Maybelline 'Great Lash' mascara, with pictures before & after!

First off, packaging & about the brush: 

The packaging is actually pretty light, it is a small tube and the same with the brush. I like the pink & green too. I'm not going to blab on but I got this in waterproof & the colour 'Very Black'

Here are my lashes before:

I did not curl my lashes before, just so you can see how it works without any tools.

Applying the mascara, you can see how small the wand is:

*scary eyes*

Now for after I've applied one coat!:

I like the way it doesn't make your lashes clumpy really, I mean it's not like it makes them look like false lashes and super fluttery but they do give a 'great lash' effect. They leave them really voluminous, maybe not so much on the lengthening side, but it does make them look big. From further away they look a bit shorter (well obviously Lizzie duhh) but I'm not too phased by it.

I also like the way that when I use this on my lower lashes, they don't look like spiders legs, really creepy and weird, they even out the lengths of each & also the darkness of each. Speaking of the 'ultra black'ness, it's really nice how I don't have to do more than one coat of it because it's not sheer, even though it's waterproof!

The water protecting side of this mascara is actually better than I thought it would be. I know it's probably not the best idea but I do leave my mascara on when I'm at swimming, and I've found it does not leave me with panda eyes! I don't exactly look like I've just applied it, it's faded a fair bit by the end of the session but it's still there!

The curl it leaves, without any eyelash curler, is brill! I thought I might have needed to but I really don't. This mascara is very versatile and ticks many boxes for me!

I like it very much, and for the cheapest mascara in Maybelline, you can't go wrong!

I hope you liked this post:)
