Maybelline Rocket Volum' Express Mascara

Hi,

We've already tested out some of the mascara's from Maybelline (check out the reviews here and here) and we both agree that Maybelline mascara's are simply the best. ;) They're not the cheapest you can find, but they give a beautiful effect and they don't dry out easily.
Before she bought this one, Maia used the Feather-look mascara from Maybelline daily. She's still very happy with that one (she already has it a year and it's still good to use), but she really wanted to try out a new one too. Of course one from Maybelline, so she chose the Rocket Volum' Express Mascara.



The main reason she chose it is that it's waterproof. The Feather-look mascara isn't and it's kind of nessecery to have something waterproof in summer. Altought this one also isn't as waterproof as it should be, it lasts all day and it doesn't smudge. Also it's easy to remove again, if you have a good make-up remover.

This is really the perfect mascara for people who want a lot of volume and very thick, dark eye-lashes. Some mascara's, who give the same effect, feel terribly dry or sometimes sticky after appying it, but after appying this mascara (or any other one from Maybelline) you won't have any trouble with that.

Maia also really loves the brush, it makes the mascara very easy to apply. You can reach every lash and it's very flexible. It also makes your lashes curl beautifully and this kind of brush prevents clumps.



It's kind of hard to review mascara, because everybody has a different kind of eye-lashes so everyone needs a different sort of mascara. Maia has very thin, short and not-so-dark eye-lashes, but this mascara was perfect for her, so we kind of expect it also to be perfect for people who also have more voluminous eye-lashes.

Maia normally applies two coats of it. One coat doesn't have a lot of effect on her eye-lashes (because like we said before, hers are very thin) but three coats makes her lashes too heavy and than the mascara clumps a little. So two coats is just perfect. :)

In general we can't tell wether the Rocket Volum Express is better than the Feather-look mascara or not, because they're very different, but both look very beautiful. To make a quick compare: the Feather-look is better if you want long, but not too thick eye-lashes who still look natural, while the Rocket Volum Express is for those who want a lot of volume and very dark, almost false-looking eye-lashes.
