the new maybelline great lash lots of lashes mascara in blackest black. rrp at aud$15.95.

the wand that looks very different to classic great lash mascaras. the great little grabber brush that promises to reach all lashes.

from the press,

the most radical innovation in great lash history sees a new innovation in brush design. this 'great little grabber brush' is clump-free heart shaped elastomer brush designed to capture even the tiniest lashes without any mess.

my thoughts

the package came with the wand separately to show its unusual shape. i have to say, i was intrigued.

it's said 'to capture even the tiniest lashes without any mess'. doesn't it sound like a dream for my short and barely there lashes?

one main mascara application problem has always been trying to reach the inner corners. i always ended up smudging my eyes in that area and simply give up applying those lashes. if you look really closely on most of my eotd photos, you will notice the lashes near inner corners are usually left as is. i'd rather skip those area then spending time cleaning the mess.

i love the brush. it makes application so much easier. it did reach out the difficult area. for once i'm able to coat every single lashes. including the almost non-existing lashes on my lower eyes! i skip mascara on lower lashes because they are so so so short. no matter how careful i tried the brush always touches my skin = mess! the narrow tip of the brush reaches them safely!

like many other mascaras, it will eventually smudge the lower outside corner of my eyes. it doesn't hold curls well and my lashes will fall straight down, which results in leaving marks as i blink.

as with the promise to get 'lots of lashes', i'll just say it makes my barely there lashes slightly more visible, if you are close enough. it doesn't give the desirable 'more visible' effect that the colossal mascara from the same brand gives me.

perhaps this product is for those who are blessed with long and beautiful lashes and this will enhance them.

i do find this mascara useful. it's a perfect campanion for my beloved colossal mascara. the brush that comes with colossal mascara is too big for the lashes at inner corner and lower lashes. this is where this great lash lots of lashes mascara comes in. now i can have every single lashes coated with mascara!

product was sent for consideration.
