Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara Review, Swatch, & Photos

Rating: 6/10

Sold: Drugstores

Price: $6.99

Description: “40% less hard waxes for massive volume with a supply touch; extra-soft, patented Flexor Brush”

Review:

Pros

• Wonderful brush! You can really position it any way you want to reach every single lash!
• Stays very well!
• Doesn’t smudge above or below the eye

Cons

• Formula turned from very wet to very dry – there was no happy-medium!
• I felt like the formula clumped my lashes together just because it wasn’t the right consistency
• Couldn’t build up the volume or length very much
• Too much of a “natural” looking mascara for me!

Price: $7.77

Description: “Long-lasting waterproof turbo-boost formula and patented Anti-Clump Brush quickly thicken lashes for 5x more volume”

Review:

Pros

• Very wet formula
• Coats the lashes evenly, allowing them to be very rich and dark
• Volumizes the base of the lashes
• Makes lashes look extra thick
• Would be great for blending in false eyelashes
• Love the tiny brush – very easy to get to the lower lashes and outer corner lashes

Cons

• Can clump easily – especially when first opened because the formula is so wet
• Seems to smear above and under my eyes
• Does not lengthen the lashes at all (although it doesn’t claim this either)

Benefit BADgal Lash Mascara Review & Photos

Rating: 5/10

Sold: Ulta, Sephora, & Benefit

Price: $19.00

Description: “Sexy, sultry, pure unadulterated black mascara for full, voluminous lashes”

Review:

Pros

• Did make my lashes noticeably fuller
• It did both volumize and lengthen the lashes
• Cute packaging and name
• Comes in other colors

Cons

• Not sure if it was just the tube I got, but the formula was SO dry!
• Started to flake off right as I applied it
• Quite expensive! Especially for the results I had! (Thank goodness, mine was a travel/sample size)

I was so disappointed with this mascara! I thought this was going to be an amazing mascara – with an amazing brush and formula. Maybe I just got a bad tube. Has anybody else tried this to say whether they enjoyed it or not?
