I have tried a lot of the Maybelline
Volum’ Express mascaras over the years and I thought I would give their newest
addition a go. I love the colour of the packaging, it almost looks rose gold.
It also has my favourite type of brush, rubber bristles!
The packaging is
a sort of rocket tube shape, just like the other Maybelline volum’ express
mascaras. The tube is made of plastic and is a metallic blush pink colour. The
writing and band between the top and bottom of the tube is black. The brush has
a curved shape and is a rubber bristle brush. The formula is creamy but not too
wet. You get 9.5ml of product in the tube and the shade I have is Black. You
can purchase it for £8.99 ($9.99) from Boots, Superdrug and Ulta.
This mascara claims to give you a
layered and multiplied look, whilst lengthening and volumising your lashes. It
has a new liquid formula with a low wax count which should create very dark and
defined black lashes. The brush is Maybelline’s first layer-reveal brush and it
should capture even the tiniest of lashes. It is cruelty-free, but not vegan
(may contain Carmine).
I am slightly underwhelmed by this mascara;
I really thought it was going to be amazing! It does make your lashes look more
defined, separated and it also lifts them. It does have a deep black colour,
but I have used darker and more pigmented mascaras previously. It is extremely easy
to apply with the brush. I wouldn’t say it gives you a multiplying or layered
look. It does contain any fibres in it, so I don’t know how your lashes could
look multiplied. I needed to layer it quite a bit to get my desired volume,
even on my lower lashes. I didn’t notice any flaking or smudging and the
effects do last for more than eight hours. It is an ok mascara, but I prefer a
lot more volume and I expected more considering it is from the volum’ express
line. It definitely doesn’t do it for me unfortunately. I recommend it if you
are not into too much volume, but if you want a dramatic look, I wouldn’t
bother.
