Maybelline Rocket Volum' Express mascara

Claims:

"Get Explosive Volume in Rocket Time!
8X Bigger, smoother and more even.
Now, the most explosive, beautiful lashes ever! Volum’ Express The Rocket Mascara’s patented Supersonic Brush with micro bristles loads on big, sleek volume instantly.
Zero clumps!"

Retailed at £7.99 the mascara has 9.6ml of product. Which is not so much an issue for me as I don't wear mascara on a daily basis. It comes in a bulky bottle like this. I purchased the normal version as waterproof mascaras are never my thing.

The big bulky brush is getting mixed reviews in the world of women. Personally I don't have an issue with it. The special super-sonic brush aids with precision when coating your lashes. The micro bristles do load on quite a lot of product. Others have complained it is water but it's not. Just make sure you swipe it out of the bottle 1-3 times to get rid of the excess mascara. Furthermore I have not witnessed a single clump.

Now the actual formulation is very drying. So you gotta work fast! I guess this is the reason why a lot of people have been disapproving it. Furthermore rather than wriggling the wand through your lashes it's best to do it the traditional "Rocket" Method. Some mascaras work better when wriggling but this one will give you clumps..

I love how this mascara lengthens my lashes. But to be honest my standards are high for all mascara ever since I've used the falsies so it's expected to lengthen. In terms of volume not so much, I prefer L'oreal Mascaras (Review to come) when it comes to volume and Maybelline when it comes to lengthening.
