Hello there! So it’s been about a week since my first post. Now here on my second post I wanna do a little review and comparison between these 2 famous Maybelline mascaras to show you how I personally think about them. So, let’s just get into it shall we?

What I Love About it :

The brush is amazing, it does the job. I can reach every single of my lashes from the root to the very tip. Well, It does give me that bigger lashes which I really love, but not exactly 8x bigger LOL.

Both with mascara after about 9 hours

What I Hate About it :

Hmmm Personally, I’m not a big fan of non-waterproof mascaras because my eyelids were tend to get oily during the days. And I don’t know if it’s just me, my lashes were kinda sticky when I used this and they started to get clumped together to one another in the end of the day as you can see there. Ew.

Overall Thoughts :

I think this mascara is not for everyone. I mean, It’s OK but I just don’t feel like I would pick this mascara whenever I needed to. But don’t get me wrong here, this is a perfect mascara for all of you who looking for everyday mascara to wear and who didn’t have oily eyelids like mine, because it does. It does really washable. But I only give it 2 hearts out of 5 for this product. Sorry… :(

What it Says :

(sorry for my wild messy eyebrows* and for the low quality image, I'm only using my iPhone camera here :( It's better in real life btw, I swear! LOL)

What I Love About it :

The curve of the brush makes it easy to get across my lashes and allowing the mascara to provide a length, volume and a nice curl. It does give my lashes three times more visible almost just like wearing false lashes that gives me that “va-va-voom!” lookin’ lashes and it still looks quite natural.

What I Hate About it :

There’s a little bit of clump-ness going on there which I don’t really mind, because I use a spoolie brush to fix them up even though it takes a little bit more time to achieve the look that I really want.

Overall Thoughts:

I’m a “separation and definition” type of girl when it comes to mascara and I’m in love with this product. Even though this is a waterproof formula that kinda hard to clean off, I prefer this one better rather than the Rocket Volum’ Express to use everyday if I need to. I give it the almost perfect 4 hearts out of 5 for this product.

So, which mascara do you like better? If you want a little more dramatic, you can put on some false lashes and my beautiful best friend here Karina is sharing some tips and tricks and even the tutorial on how to apply false lashes that looks natural! Just click here to see what she's doing!
