BBreview: Maybelline Great Lash
Another one of my unopened mascaras, I remember buying Maybelline Great Lash because I'd heard so many great things about it. G told me that it was a great alternative to expensive mascaras, and was the best drugstore mascara around.
Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't learn to trust G's claims, she's got amazingly full, long, dark lashes, which are the complete opposite of mine.
This mascara did nothing for me, except coat my lashes in a clumpy, black mess that flaked off. It did not build volume, nor did it lengthen my lashes. Then again, I'd only heard that it does so, but the packaging doesn't stress too much on that point. The mascara does claim to be buildable, but it got heavy and unworkable after two coats, which was not pleasant. I had to wash it off and start again. For the sake of beauty, I wore this mascara for the day, testing it out like I would with any other. After about two hours, it started flaking off, bothering my contacts, and creating a layer of black snow on my bottom eyelid. Maybe I just used too many coats? Nevertheless, I hastily wiped it off, and proceeded to use my trusty never-fail Diorshow Blackout Mascara.
This is definitely not one of the better drugstore mascaras.
The Verdict: Not a good mascara for volume and length seekers, but an okay mascara for those with naturally beautiful lashes, who don't mind clumps.

I've never had an issue with Maybelline's Great Lash, and I couldn't justify spending $18 on DiorShow... Esp since I toss them every 3 months.
And yes --- in response to the other post, it WAS a Swiss Army bag, and it needs little legs in front to make it stay upright!
Maybe you have amazing lashes like my friend G? For me, DiorShow works the best, but I do get tired of spending $18 every three months! I definitely don't want to use expired makeup, so I was turning to cheaper mascaras, but this just didn't do it for me. Any suggestions?
I agree, the Swiss Army bag does need little legs! I try not to pack it as full, but I end up needing another bag, which completely defeats the purpose of the bag.
