This mascara was the absolute best mascara. I say 'was' because it was so great my tube is all finished =( and I need a new one. It covers my eyelashes wonderfully and makes them look even longer then they already are. It is the best mascara for me :D

I do not understand the hype over this mascara. It does absolutely nothing to lengthen or add volume to my lashes. The brush is poor and the formulation is almost dry. I actually thought I had gotten an old tube so I went back and purchased another hoping that was the case. Same results. I could have gotten the same effects from brushing on tap water. I would not repurchase.

I dont usually spend a lot for mascara bc it goes bad so fast. This is a great cheap brand.

The first mascara I ever used :) I still love it, it works so well! It's great for length, volume, and a nice shot of inky color. If it's ever discontinued, I'm positive there will be riots in the streets!

I have been using the Maybelline Great Lash Mascara for years. I love the soft black colour and I find that applicator brush works well. It is easy to apply and I do not have trouble coating or separating my eyelashes. I have never had any smudging and it is easily removed (I use the Kirkland Daily Facial Cleansing Towelettes). I will continue to by a loyal Maybelline Great Lash customer!

Love it! Works great. Never smears. Easy to apply amd take off.

I read lots of artcles about this, about how it's a stars or makeup artists fave, but to tell the truth, this is just an average mascara. I am happy to read other chicks think the same!

It is ok if you are just looking to add some colors to your lashes, to get a natural look. If you want length and thickness, then this one is not for you!

Cannot stand the fact that although it makes my eyelashes thicker it also smudges under my eyes after only a few hours....

I have used this product in the past, and didn't really think it was anything special (mind you, I was 13 and didn't think anything was special). I am fair skinned and have very blonde hair, which translates into having short, light eyelashes. I bought this product about 2 weeks ago because I wanted to use it to apply mascara onto the lashes that are on the side of my eye - and I knew that Maybelline's Great Lash wand could do that for me because I know it's small. What I wasn't expecting though, was that I would love the whole product all together! Honestly, I can't believe I am raving about this mascara because all my friends hate it and I have read reviews talking about its ineffectiveness. I found this product to give my lashes great separation and volume, even considering the small brush. It takes a few sweeps of the brush to get my eyelashes at the length and volume that I like, but it's worth it! It's also easy to take off at the end of the day. One pet peeve though is that it does tend to smudge during the day, but I also have a tendency to wipe my eyes, not remembering I have makeup on. I just carry q-tips around with me to clean up my under-eye area. Overall, great product! And I love how inexpensive it is, and I can usually find it on sale. I may give the BIG brush product a try too, just to compare the effectiveness. LOVE MAYBELLINE GREAT LASH!!!
P.s. I also have the clear Maybelline Great Lash which I use as a brow gel, and sometimes just for a clear coating on my lashes

I read review after review, hot list after hot list, about how wonderful this mascara is and for me it just isn't. My biggest pet peeve is the brush. Being so thin, it's hard to provide length or volume. My lashes look worse after applying Great Lash than wearing nothing at all.
