Maybelline XXL Volume + Length Waterproof Microfiber Mascara

Rating ***

This mascara applies easily and separates lashes well, mostly without clumping. It lasts all day without flaking or smudging and removes easily. It does a decent job with lenghtening and volume, though lashes tend to look spindly. While it does an adequate job, there is not much to separate it from the pack. It lacks the oomph that I personally like from a great mascara, so I'm putting in the good but not great category.

Also, I'm not a big fan of adding extra steps to my make-up routine. I don't love the fact that you use a primer first. The mascara has trouble covering the white primer with one coat.. so you'll need at least two or even three. Another step. All in all, not bad, but nothing to shout about from the rooftops.
