Little Mascara

I have been buying this product for a very long time and love it.
However, the last one I bought a few weeks ago has barely
any product in it. This is the 2nd time this has happened.

Allergic Reaction - Formula change?
3 months ago
I used great lash waterproof for many years. I recently bought a tube of non waterproof great lash and within a day, it caused me to have an allergic reaction like I have never had before. My upper and lower eyelids on both eyes are terribly itchy, swollen, burning and my eyes won’t stop watering.

Long time buyer very disappointed
6 months ago
Three months ago I would have given five stars but this mascara has become just terrible. I’ve bought between 3-4 tubes of waterproof Great Lash per year since 1984. Three months ago my new mascara left black marks down my cheeks whenever my eyes watered. Nope. I thought it was my mistake and carefully bought a brand new tube, making sure it was waterproof and it was the same. By the time I’m home from work it looks like I’ve been crying all day. Nope again.
I’m not going to waste my money on a third tube, hoping they changed. I’m avoiding the L’Oreal/Mabelline family from now on. Such a shame.

Very Disappointed
10 months ago
I am so disappointed in this mascara. I usually love Maybelline mascara but this one is terrible. There seems to be hardly any mascara in the tube and I have to keep putting it in to get enough to even notice it on my eyelashes. I'm not sure if maybe its the particular one I bought that doesn't have much product in it to get enough on the applicator or what. In past I've always been very pleased with Maybelline as far as mascara but this has been a dud.

Disappointed
a year ago
Very disappointed with the recent purchase of great lash waterproof mascara. It washes right off. Appears to be filled with ‘washable’ mascara in the container labeled ‘waterproof’, or the ingredient to make it waterproof has been decreased in order to save money.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Allergic reaction!!!

allergic reaction: red puffy and itchy eyes. I've never had such a horrible reaction from this mascara. It became painful and swollen after only a few hours after application after opening a brand new package after buying it 2 days prior.

So happy to find the BIG!

I had no idea how much I'd love the BIG! I was just looking for Maybelline Great Lash and much to my surprise, when I opened the packing, there is the chunky brush! It is so easy to use and gives perfect results. This will be my 'go to' mascara from now on. Thank you Maybelline!

Neither great nor big.
a year ago
Thought the product would fill out and maybe even lengthen my lashes a bit. Maybelline's mascaras
have been quite good and ecomical in the past. But not this Great Lash. It has not added fullness
at all nor even length. It has added color, though, but also the clumping of a few lashes which then
needed separating.
I'd welcome a replacement mascara--this one bought from CVS--that will add fullness, especially,
to my skinny lashes.

Had to have changed the GREAT LASH washable
2 years ago
I have been a tried and true great lash washable since it's beginning! I have been told how great my mascara looks many times. Turned countless individuals on to this brand since I started using in 1975. The formula has unfortunately CHANGED. I noticed the difference and everyone that I turned on to it has mentioned it to me. We have all been on the hunt for now a new mascara. I purchased three in the last two months at different retailers. All gloopy, chunky, dryer than normal and just plain horrible. It now bothers my eye's. Never did in the past. We are talking a LONG time since it began in 1971. I have never purchased any other brand until yesterday. I went for a L 'oreal product and pray I have NO issues due to my sensitivity. BRING back the tried and true Great lash mascara. Not this dryer gloopy version that is just crap! Charge more and make it like it should be.

Hola, es posible que se hayan realizado cambios menores en la fórmula de un producto; sin embargo, el rendimiento debe igualar o superar los resultados anteriores y es posible que no se note en absoluto. Hay diferentes razones por las que se puede cambiar una fórmula; la disponibilidad de ingredientes, los requisitos cambiantes de la industria y las mejoras del producto son ejemplos comunes. Los ingredientes enumerados en el producto físico siempre son una lista precisa. ¡Esperamos que esto ayude!

Caused swollen puffy itchy eyes
3 years ago
My daughter bought a couple of these several months ago. Over the past few months her eyes occasionally were itchy swollen red. Went to the doctor a couple of times, unknown allergen, prescribed steroid and allergy med. Kept happening. About a week ago my daughters friend mentioned her sister also got a reaction like that from great lash mascara. She looked it up online and sure enough, she was not alone.
No, I do not recommend this product.

My To Go To Mascara!!! I Love It!!!
4 years ago
This is a beautiful natural looking mascara. I been using it since I first started wearing makeup and I have tried many mascaras, but nothing compares to this one. I also love the big version, because the brush is big enough to coat everything in one coat. I also love the color brownish black, because it is the most natural looking one. I love the way it coats the lashes just right, if you remove a bit of the extra product from it. The price point is also pretty hard to beat (ranging from just about $5 to $7, though if you see it for $7 look at another store, it seems to be on sale quite frequently). It also builds up perfectly, does not smudge, and lasts all day long, and removes quite well with the washable version. If you haven't tried it, but want a natural mascara, I highly encourage trying this mascara!
I Find This Product:Smudge Proof, Easy To Use, Fast Drying, Long Lasting, Pigmented, Transfer Proof
Yes, I recommend this product.
