Maybelline One by One Mascara


I'm sure most of you have seen Maybelline's latest mascara the 'Colossal One by One' but just incase you haven't here's a little run through of what it can do.



Price: £6.49, currently on offer £2.00 off normal retail price
Available: Superdrug, Boots, Supermarkets

The packaging is pretty basic, nothing special and if anything, a bit tacky. After using my Estee Lauder Double Wear, Mineralize Skinfinish Natural, UD Naked palette.. I hate pulling out a strangely shaped, flourescent tube from my makeup bag. *Cough* Make Up Snob *Cough*. I know, I know. I'm just a sucker for nice packaging!

Normally I hate rubber wands I don't think they comb well through lashes however, the little teeth you can see in the picture below glides through lashes seperating and fanning them out. It adds length and a decent amount of volume but I do find I have the horrible 'crispy lashes' after using this and a small amount of transfer at the end of the day.



For everyday, it's not bad. I'll use it up because it does lengthen well but I'm still on the hunt for a mascara that seperates, adds oodles of length, volume.. I want it all!

Here's a little shot at the volume and length it can achieve. I have quite short, stubby lashes but two coats later..

  7. @Hannah - I hated it when I first used it but then tried it again after a few weeks and it works so much better! x

    @Rachel - I just use a matte brown shadow from an Avon quad and a tiny bit of the Gosh brow gel x
