verushka's nails: Maybelline Great Lash Royal Blue Mascara

Hi guys! Today I have something different to show you other than nail polishes and it’s Maybelline Great Lash Royal Blue Mascara.

I’m kinda on the fence about this mascara. First I really REALLY like the color. It’s a beautiful bright electric blue that can add special vibes to your everyday look. Second I love the fact that it’s very affordable. It’s always nice to have an option to try something new and fun without damaging your budget :) Even though I received this product complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster, I can imagine myself buying mascaras from Maybelline in other bright colors. I’m personally dreaming about vivid red :3

Now, to the drawbacks. First of all, it won’t really show this beautiful royal blue color on your eyes if you have dark eyelashes, so you will have to build the color up which this mascara doesn’t allow you to do perfectly. I feel that the best way is to wait several minutes between the applications otherwise you’ll find yourself brushing your eyelashes over and over without any result. But be ready for some clumps and moderate spider legs if you decide layering it up. I guess that white primer could help but I don’t have any, sorrynotsorry. Also because of its poor construction brush doesn’t pick much of the product, so I couldn’t even transfer it close enough to my lashline (not very noticeable in real life though).

My second complaint is that this mascara does almost nothing in terms of volumizing, lengthening, lifting (I always use my curler before applying mascara) or separating the lashes. I mean yeap it gives teeny tiny bit of volume and length, but do not expect much.

Nevertheless I still will use this mascara when I’m in the mood for something fun and different, ‘cause as I already said I absolutely love the color.
