Maybelline - Great Lash Waterproof



So the year is 1990, you've just hit your teenage years and are allowed to finally, wear some makeup, and get your ears pierced. The $5 nan had given you is in your hot little hand, as you scan the rows of mascara enticing you to purchase. Instinctively you reach out for the lurid hot pink wand, and grab some pink sparkly eye shadow to match, surely Dylan will notice you now you can wear some makeup... although, he probably is a little too old for you (and on TV but don't let that small matter deter you)..... Fast forward to 2008, I had to weigh up the rather weighty claim that Great Lash is the #1 mascara. I have to say I haven't purchased this mascara since back in the day, something about the hot pink wand just doesn't seem like it can stand up to the claim that it "conditions & thickens with no clumps, globs or smudges. Although I'll hasten to say I was really, really impressed with this mascara. It both lengthened and thickened without clumping my eyelashes together, the little brush is tiny but easy to handle. The only downside is it can smudge a little by the end of the day or if splashed with water too much - not one to go swimming in. But certainly holds up on a wet day, or a trip to the gym. It gets 4 winks out of 5.
