Askmewhats Reviews: Maybelline Volum' Express Cat Eyes

Happy "rawwrrr" Tuesday! Women are fierce, and I'm glad one company came out with a fierce-looking mascara to represent the modern women! Maybelline Volum' Express Cat Eyes Mascara! Came with a lovely zebra print and... *gasp* in PINK!!! *even more gasp* Hot Shiny Pink!

Maybelline Volum' Express Cat Eyes says ---

Every successful huntress knows that her eyes are her most powerful weapon. Sure the mane helps attract attention and the talons assist in pinning him down, but it's her stop-him-in-his-tracks gaze that hypnotizes her prety and keeps him captive.

Turning plain lovely eyes into drop-dead gorgeous eyes, Maybelline New York has developed the Volum'Express Hyper Curl Cat Eyes Waterproof Mascara.

Evoking the dramatic intensity of a feline gaze with its dramatic visual impact, and the swiftness of a big cat's sinuous moves in its ease of application, Volum' Express Hyper Curl Cat Eyes Waterproof Mascara is the purr-fect mascara for the fiercely sexy woman.

Think of it as brush on ammunition for the femme fatale. it's so daring it's dangerous.

Pros

• I love the wand, never touches the skin around my eyes
• thickens my lashes
  
• waterproof, held on for the whole day
• again, waterproof, seriously, I've shed tears and this held on!
  
• inexpensive
• wonderful and cute packaging

Cons

• if you're looking for lengthening, this does not lengthen
• if you don't like your lashes to clump close together, this is not for you, make sure to have a lash comb handy though :)
• if you applied too much, the lashes will turn out crunchy, so be careful not to over apply
  

Overall

I can't help but reach out for this mascara because I seriously love the applicator. It's GENIUS! I don't have mascara accidents with this brush and its easier for me to apply mascara on my lower lashes. Seriously, I almost don't have any lower lashes but with this applicator, it's easier to apply mascara for my lower lashes, but of course, with the help of business card to keep myself from messing up.

If you hate mascara application and you're starting up to collect, this is a great start! I believe if you're born with long lashes, this is better as it gives the volume and the "oomph". If you have short and almost "next to nothing" lashes, I use a lengthening mascara first then use this for 2nd coat to volumize or "clump" it close together. Smart eh?


Tips

From Maybelline

From AMW

• just like my dear friend PB, I will definitely keep this brush comb!
• use the business card method to keep your lid safe from the mascara
• use 2 types of mascara to fulfill your eyelash requirements! :)
• do clean your lashes well before you go to sleep, eye allergies are no-no!

I believe a lot of beauty enthusiasts have purchased and tried this mascara. A lot of raves and rants but in my dictionary, this is ok. Not the greatest mascara I've tried but not the worst. Hats off to Maybelline for the wonderful eye-catchy packaging and bravo for the wonderful applicator. But Maybelline is Maybelline, I'm not surprised they can always come up with good mascaras! I'm sure they've got more cooking up in their sleeves!
