Maybelline Great Lash color mascara review

Long time no see! So basically I have a mini review for you. Truth is, I've never liked the Great Lash mascara series but I've always wanted to try out cooled mascaras. I have tried the LA Splash color mascaras but I'll go into that a little bit more later.

Now, I have black lashes that are stick straight. I need length and volume in order for what a normal person would consider a natural look, so the subtle Great Lash series that I find only offers color and separation just doesn't do it for me. That said, this mascara does not smudge or flake on me, and smudging is a big deal to me. The colors did not show up very well on my lashes though. On the lashes themselves, even with the lightest teal, my lashes still looked black with the exception of the tip where after several coats the mascara built up to create a little bit of length. The tips of my lashes therefore had a little bit of color because it wasn't technically covering any hair, but the difference between that and my bare lashes (as well add the effect I was looking for) were not notable.

The brush is small, which brings me to my next point. The LA Splash mascaras of color had plastic, thin brushes as well which were dreadful but the price was only a few dollars. This Maybelline was perhaps $8 at Walgreens. The LA Splash mascaras had no effect whatsoever on my lashes because of that cheap and ineffective wand, but when I used a fuller disposable wand that grabbed more product, the color definitely showed up on my lashes well! That being said, the colors in that range were far greater and some were much lighter than what is offered in the Great Lash line, so that's another reason why they showed up. If this doesn't work for you, try out LA Splash.
