the flutter wars, phase 2 - Maybelline Lash Expansion

Initially I was supposed to test out Maybelline's Lash Discovery, but when I read the ingredients on the package (it pays to double-check) I saw a few things I couldn't wear. Therefore, I read around and chose two other mascaras, one of which was Lash Expansion.

Maybelline Lash Expansion

Oh dear, I should have thought a little more before choosing this one. The packaging itself says "Wraps Thickens Lengthens," and the moment I read the T word I should have left it behind. My eyes became the Great-Wall-o-Lash. Or should it have been the Short-Brick-Wall-o-Lash? The brush is really nice, but the product works on the thickening far too well while not giving any additional length. It was an adventure getting it off my fingers, but it didn't last as long as the Smashbox Bionic on my lashes - and I barely went outside all day. ;)

Maybelline Lash Expansion gets:

Endurance - 7
Look - 4
Feel - 6
Flutter Factor - 4

I can't say it's a pity, since the packaging has the unfortunate luck of reminding me of a product I saw at Toys in Babeland once. *cringe*
