This mascara is continuously rated highest in every magazine for GOOD REASON! At only $5 a bottle this mascara does way better than most of my department store brands.
Volumizes: 10/10

And no complicated multiple-step process or weird functioning wands. I recommend this to every experienced makeup guru, as well as every first time mascara-applier.

As part of my most recent hunt for the ulitmate mascara for myself, I picked this new formula up from Maybelline. The Great Lash formula has been around for years, this new one, Great BIG Lash is a little wonder at a mere $6.99 no less!!

I have been truly surprised with this mascara.....it has a great big brush, and really coats every single lash exeptionally well.You get tons of volume with this formula, and the" Very Black " colour is super super black and velvety! I wear it a lot, as an every day type go to mascara. (I save my expensive stuff for special occassions, or when I want a more made up look) So far.....no smudges, no flaking, and it lasts without clumping up at the end of the day. It washes off easy too.

I love this stuff! It's an amazing deal of a product!

There is a reason there are 67 reviews about this product - it works and it's the BEST!

At 16 I was allowed to wear makeup on a regular basis and the first thing I bought was this mascara, becuase my cousin told me it was the best kind to get. 9 years later, I still use it on a daily basis. It's affordable, effective and it doesn't clump! Worth every (cheap) penny! :)

Hi everyone! Today I’m going to be reviewing Maybelline’s Great Lash Mascara BIG. I saw this mascara advertised everywhere and I must admit, the picture in the ads is pretty cool (see the picture above). I mean, look at that wand. It’s humongous. My sister and I were at Walmart when the Maybelline promo girl spots us in the makeup area, and takes out of our cart all the products we had picked up and replaces them with similar Maybelline products. How rude is that? We ended up not taking any of the products she was trying to force on us, except,w ell… the mascara. We got one each. My sister looked at the picture in the package and said “Oh, that’s a pretty wand! It’s pink and green!”. I was excited at the big, green and pink want until I got home and noticed -”Oh yeah, the wand is actually pitch black since it comes inside the mascara tube”.

Moving on… the wand colors weren’t that disappointing. I got this mascara in “very black” and I have to give the product props in terms of pigmentation: it is an amazingly beautiful, rich black. I’m not used to wands as big as this one, so when I was going to apply the mascara it did feel a bit weird and uncomfortable at first, but nothing unbearable. The size does make it somewhat hard to reach the inner corner lashes, and applying it on your lower lashes must be done very carefully especially if you’re like me, who doesn’t have a lot of lashes down there.

My upper lashes are very long but I don’t have a lot of them, so what I look for in a mascara is fullness more than length. I was able to lengthen my lashes quite a lot creating a dramatic look, and it becomes more dramatic as you add coats. It is a very buildable mascara as it promises. This mascara, however, fails to separate my lashes. Like I said, I don’t have a lot of lashes – and what this mascara does, is it groups my lashes together. In a video review I saw for this product someone said it looked like you have “five fat lashes” or something. I was very skeptical, I thought “that can’t be!” – but I’m telling you… it’s true. At least for my ungenerous amount of lashes, it just groups them together in like five fat chunks. I’ve tried curling them, not curling them, wiggling the wand, wiggling it a lot, not wiggling at all… I always get the same results. It’s such a shame, I actually like everything else about this product except this. I rarely use it anymore, since it makes my eyes look strange, especially if I wear it during the day. You know, like if I had cartoon lashes. I haven’t tried using this mascara for a night look, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if you have dark eye makeup on.

This is not waterproof mascara. As for removing, I simply use oil-free makeup-remover towelettes and it comes right off. In conclusion, I don’t hate the this Great Lash Mascara BIG, but it doesn’t work for my long-but-sparse lashes. I would really like to hear from someone with abundant lashes who has tried it, so that I know how it works for you! By the way, this product was around $7.00 for 0.34 FL OZ.

I LOVE THIS MASCARA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It came in a $10 Garnier pack that I bought from Walmart. I was slightly reluctant to use it because I never really used mascara & I had previously used Maybellines XXL mascara. Anyway I really fell in love with this mascara! It made my lashes longer & thicker in one coat! I use 2 coats when I want a really dramatic look. This mascara came in Blackest Black but a month later I opted for the Great Lash Waterproof formula since I live in FL where its always humid. They didnt have the blackest black so I got the Soft Black,which I love even more!!!!! It makes my lashes look awesome & like theyre naturally thick & long,which I esp love when I have eyeshadow & such on or on my more natural looking days. It doesnt clump or migrate & it comes off easy when using make up remover!

This was the first mascara i EVER used..and i hated the stuff! My lashes or pretty long but are blonder towards the tips so i just need something to add color, but nothing dramatic. This stuff clumps and makes it difficult to apply. All the mascara goes to the tip when you pull it out making it almost impossible to get the lashes in the lashes nearest your nose!

Instant drama. Thick, visibly lengthened lashes.

I like this mascara because it's quick and easy to apply unlike other mascaras that require repeated application before my lashes are dark and defined. For me I prefer makeup to go a little beyond a subtle statement but I don't want to look like I'm about to have a night out while I'm working.

I've heard people rant about how they hate it or rave about it. I don't get it. This sucks. It gives length, but clumps your lashes together. It doesnt hold a curl. It doesn't seem to do very much. Save your money and get something else.

This seems to be a hit-or-miss mascara; people either love it or hate it. What I like about Great Lash is that you only need one or two swipes to get really dark, separated, clump-free lashes. However, it doesn't look good for long--it smudges off in a couple of hours. And when it gets under my eyes, it's really hard to remove--I usually have to rub to get it off my skin. It makes my lashes feel really heavy, and when I accidentally touch them a couple hours later, it feels like they haven't even dried yet! So basically, this mascara is just a lot of heavy, wet build-up on your lashes. But with the great drugstore price, I'd say it's worth a try to see if it will work for you.
