Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express

Out of all of the drugstore brands, I think Maybelline produces the best mascara's ! I have been a huge, longtime fan of Maybelline's Full and Soft but I wanted to try something different. 

Maybelline's The Rocket Mascara is a volumizing mascara with a 'fast glide formula.' The formula is meant to evenly and smoothly apply mascara to the lashes. One of the reasons I enjoy this mascara is because it's not fussy. By no fuss,  I mean that I don't find myself running the brush through my lashes over and over to get the fanned out look I wish to accomplish. 

The Rocket does provide a fuller, thicker appearance on my lash line and separates my lashes nicely. The wand is a rubber wand with flexible bristles. This is a very long wearing mascara - I experience absolutely no flaking with The Rocket.

Overall I really like this mascara - I can get away with a coats or two during the day to make my lashes look darker and fanned out or I can use three coats to get a more dramatic appearance.

Maybelline Full N Soft Review

 I have tried a fair amount of mascaras but I always come back to this one. 

Maybelline's Full N Soft is a great everyday mascara. I think this mascara gets some negative attention because it doesn't provide much volume. I don't need much volume but if you are looking for a mascara for a dramatic look, or a night out I would suggest investigating one with more intensity.

Maybelline states the benefits of this mascara are:

• Builds full, healthy-looking lashes without the brittle feel 

• Prevents loss of lashes with Quick Dissolve System that allows easy mascara removal

• Advanced thickening formula with Vitamin E helps to soften and nourish lashes  

  • No clumps, no globs

• Contact lens safe and hypoallergenic 

• Washable, also available in Waterproof formula

The only bullet point I cannot comment on is the one about contacts since I do not wear them.

However, as you can see from the photo below, this mascara definitely provides a very healthy, natural looking lash. My lashes never feel brittle at all. I do not find flakes of mascara under my eyes throughout the day. My lashes never get clumpy, no matter how many coats I apply. Because this mascara leaves your lashes so soft, it is easy to re-apply throughout the day if you feel you need an extra coat.

This mascara is also very easy to remove, unlike my Maybelline Mega Plush. After using my cleanse off oil there is very minimal mascara left under my eyes that usually comes off after I cleanse with my foaming cleaner. I never need to tug with towels or cotton pads to wipe the remaining mascara away.

Overall, this mascara is my HG everyday (work, shopping, lunch with friends) mascara. I have repurchased this over and over again and probably will for a while!
