Maybelline intense xxl  volume +length micro fiber mascara

Price: $6.34 @ Walmart US

Since I madly love big full dark lashes, any product that promises to make my lashes bigger, fuller and/or darker is a must try.

Since maybe line isn’t a brand that I normally like for Mascara I’m not entirely sure why I even bought this particular one… 

It’s the standard duel mascara, a white base coat, that adds length and fullness to the lashes, and a second, black coat to make them dark.

The base is pretty good. It goes on smoothly, and does add a bit of length, and a tiny bit of fullness.

It’s not exceptional. But it’s good.

The mascara portion, alone is also pretty good. It’s a nice deep black, it clumps some, but nothing major, and it adds some fullness on its own.

Perplexing the base and Mascara are not a good combination…

With the addition of the base, the mascara all of a sudden clumps like crazy!

I’ve tried letting my lashes dry after the base, gently combing them through before and/or after they are dry, then applying the mascara.

Still, they clump, a lot.

The Mascara worn alone,  fairly rub and smudge proof. It lasts a whole day, then removes easily with make up remover.

With the base, all of a sudden it flakes…. And smudges.

Its idiotic.
