For a drugstore mascara, this is a really good item.
It offers color and plumping action that is hard to beat. I like the wand because of how the bristles are shaped. If used just right, you'll have lashes for days!
I don't like that it flakes after a few hours of wear, but that is pretty unavoidable with most mascaras.

I really enjoyed this balm. It's got the perfect balance of moisture and color. It's also very long lasting. I love how smooth this applies compared to a lot of other balms I've tried.

This is the first western BB cream that I've used that I was pleased with.
When I used it I was extremely pleased with the coverage, how matte it is (most western BB creams I've used have been greasy) and it is very easy to build. If used right, you don't even need a concealer with it!
I always apply it with a beauty blender and it offers such a flawless finish for a drugstore product.

This was my first foray into western BB creams, and it performed just as I expected - terribly.
This product is extremely thick. It left me feeling like I had put on a huge layer of foundation even though I hadn't at all. It didn't offer much for coverage, either, which was unexpected for a product that was so thick.
What bummed me the most about this is the color. They say it's for light and medium skin but it was awfully orange. I suppose that explained the smell of oranges.
I will never buy this again, for sure.

This is probably the first Maybelline product that I've completely disliked.
The product itself smelled terrible and was thin. With a BB cream, given that I'm accustomed to Korean brands, I expect more coverage and buildability without my face feeling like I'm wearing a mask with ten pounds of makeup slapped onto it. This offered no such hope of coverage without feeling greasy.
To add insult to injury, it made me break out really bad.
All in all, this is a glorified tinted sunscreen, in my opinion.

This used to be my go to mascara before I discovered my current brand. It's cheap, it's effective, and it's good for people who are on a budget yet want a little more out of their mascara than some of the cheaper brands.
The wand is rather typical, brush style, nothing special. The color payoff is good, as is the formula, but it does tend to flake after long hours of wear. I would recommend having a lash comb, as this stuff does tend to clump if you aren't careful.
I would even go the stretch to say that it's not too bad for something to start with if you're a teenager that has a limited amount of money.
