Review: Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara

First fact: It's NOT easy to impress me with a mascara. Every single time I need a new mascara I'm one of those people who buy a different one every time. I've tried countless amounts of mascara and it wasn't until the past few years when I purchased L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara that I actually fell in love with a mascara and ended up re-purchasing.

Now when this mascara was first released and after I had read a good amount of reviews which really raved about this product, I then went out and purchased it. I'm always excited to try a new mascara as I find they're always at their best when you first use it and just simply because I wanted to see if I loved it as much as everyone else. When I purchased this, from my local Boots, I know it was on offer and had something like £2 off.. So I think it was around £5.99 (I may be wrong, if you can't tell I am guessing here!)

The first thing you notice about this mascara, and honestly don't think you could miss it, is the size of the brush! It's mega huge and slightly scary to begin with. I was a bit worried that I wouldn't get on with this mascara due to the size of the brush but even the first time I used this I instantly thought it was super duper easy. The application is smooth and easy, I'm always someone who manages to get mascara on my eye lid but I think that's just me and it happens with every mascara so don't think it's a down side to this mascara. It leaves my lashes looking thick and full after a couple of coats which I love. I curl my lashes before using this mascara and love the finished look. I'm a girl who loves long lashes and will do anything to achieve so, naturally, and I really do think this mascara ticks all my boxes. Another plus is that this doesn't leaves my lashes looking clumpy which is something I hate but I have also found that some mascaras tend to start to clump as they get older so only time will tell. But at the moment I love it.

I would definitely recommend this mascara, this is now in my top 3 favourite mascaras EVER so it's done pretty well already :) Have you tried this mascara? I'd love to know your thoughts! Now lets hope there's no snow tonight and fingers crossed we get spring weather soon! xo
