Every mascara Maybelline comes out with these days seems to be from the Volume' Express line. Back in the day the turbo boost was my favorite but I think they've discontinued it...because if it's one of your favorites it always gets discontinued!
Maybelline claims:
Mega volume goes mega plush! This revolutionary gel-mousse mascara has 40% less hard waxes for big volume with a supple touch.
I really didn't know anything about this mascara. I just knew I needed a new mascara and the bright teal tube was screaming "Pick Me!". I took my time and triple checked that it was not the waterproof version because it seems no matter how many times I check when I get home it's the waterproof version. Not this time.
The first thing I noticed was the brush was wiggly. It's not stationary like all the other mascaras. I was completely unsure of how that would make application but went with it anyway. I've been using it awhile and I can honestly say I hate a bendy brush. It's the worst for application. It's easy to get the look you want with a stationary brush. It's not impossible to work with-I just don't get the point. It can make application take longer and it's definitely more messy.
The actual formula I really like. It's supposedly a gel-mousse formula. Ok-if they say so. It stays in place all day until I take it off. It doesn't flake off at all. It adds decent length. Volume could be better. And it's not crunchy.
And almost forgot my fave part-it's washable. It comes off super easy when I go to take it off at the end of my day.
The problem with the formula is I feel it was best the first couple of weeks. Now it goes on more clumpy and I haven't even been using it that long. That's why it's a bit clumpy in the pic. And the brush doesn't help either.
It's a good formula. But the brush is trash. I can see this being discontinued after awhile. I wouldn't purchase again-nor do I recommend you do either!
