Review: Maybelline Volume Express Cat Eyes Mascara


The brush is very reminiscent of the Falsie's mascara, but thinner and the formula is a lot less wet. I also really like the packaging. It definitely stood out to me because of the cheetah print and that was honestly half the reason I purchased this mascara.  It's advertised as giving your eyelashes a "spiked" effect.

Application: The brush was a little difficult to get used to but once I was used to it application was very simple.
First Coat: It wasn't exactly a dramatic mascara and I noticed an average lengthening of my lashes at all. However, I really liked the look of the "spiky" lashes. It separated my lashes well but at the same time made my lashes very voluminous.
Staying Power: Flaked off of my eyes A LOT! The spikiness created a lot of clumps in my lashes throughout the day.
Overall: Average mascara. Honestly, I'd skip it. If you really like the look of spiky lashes, I think this is the best drugstore mascara for spiky lashes that I've found. However, it's overall just an okay mascara and I'd definitely choose the other Maybelline mascaras over this. Go for the falsies or one by one (both by Maybelline) for a great drugstore mascara bargain.
