Well hello there, everyone! It has been five months since I have written a post for you all. I have been so busy-- I was in my school play, I was on the gymnastics team, I had finals. And guess what? My last day of school is tomorrow! Woo hop!
But anyway... onto today's topic... Here's the first of many Amazing or Awful? posts. Amazing or Awful? will be a new series on this site that reviews different things (mostly beauty products). I'll let you know if the product is amazing or awful. So for today's product we have...
The Great Lash waterproof mascara by Maybelline.

The Great Lash waterproof mascara by Maybelline.
I bought this mascara in April to bring with me on vacation because I didn't have any waterproof mascaras (the vaca I was going on involved swimming) and I had heard good things about it. So I picked one of these up at CVS and tried it for the first time on vacation. Right away I noticed that the brush on the wand was much smaller than I had expected:
It was smaller than any of the brushes I've ever seen on a mascara. That didn't bother me that much, but I would have loved for the brush to be longer.
As for the formula, I did like its consistency. I liked the color and how it grabbed onto my lashes. I also liked how natural it looked; it didn't look like I was wearing a lot of mascara. Maybe that's because of the brush...?
The waterproof part worked GREAT for me. I went in the pool, the ocean, and took a shower with that mascara on and I did not look like a raccoon at all. That's a big plus! I also used makeup remover at night to take the mascara off (and any other makeup I was wearing) and the mascara stayed put. I literally had to scrub it off.
In all, this mascara works for me. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for a good waterproof mascara. Just remember, the brush is tiny!!
So. Amazing or Awful? This mascara gets an Amazing for me.
Comment below what other products you'd like me to review. Love you! Keep smiling!
