Worth the hype? Well I can tell you from the get-go that I absolutely LOVE this product and I absolutely do not know what I've been doing without it! I love this product and definitely give it in the 4 range out of 5! I'll go into depth and give on my thoughts on separate categories so read below for my THOOOOOOOUGHTS. XD
Today I review the ultra-hyped dubbed "The Rocket" by Maybelline and tell you if it's worth your money! xD
Packaging
As you can see above, the packaging is ULTRA-CUTE-OH-MY-GOSH-I-CAN'T-STOP-STARING-AT-IT. I absolutely LOVE the colour combination Maybelline chose. I find that the pink really pops and when it closes, you can see the pink lining and I thought that was very creative. As well, the packaging differs for both waterproof and non-waterproof which was an added bonus.
Wand
The wand is what got me to try this product in the first place because I wanted something that was going to give me mega-volume. I definitely think that the wand is amazing because it not only gives you that volume but it also has the added bonus of stopping those clumps because it REALLY brushes out the clumps with its' wand structure.
Formula
In here, I also wanted to talk about curl power. Because this has a drier formula, it really holds up my NON-CURLY LASHES and it doesn't streak though or get clumpy quite easily if you allow enough dry-time between your coats.
Effect
Though it really depends on your own lashes, this does do a good job of giving you volume! What I found was that this was definitely gave you a tad more lengthening, but that ADDED to the volume! As well, multiple coats will get anyone up to volume CRAZY lashes!
Lasting Power
This DEFINITELY has lasting power and really held up a curl throughout the day! Even for people with oily eyelids, I can say no smudging and AH, how did I ever live without this?! What I can say is this product is not made for bottom lashes, because it probably will smudge. Keep this to the top! xD
Wash-ability
Though this is deemed a washable mascara, I still found leftover chunks of mascara in my lashes so I have to be careful when I rub my eyelashes cause they're pretty sensitive and fall out easily. As well, this is deemed contact-lens safe, so it should come out of your contacts with solution if you get any mascara on it!
