Great Lash® Waterproof Mascara

The tube was empty. Clean as a whistle. Not even kidding.

Maybelline New York - Great Lash® Waterproof Mascara is a classic favorite! All generation of women in my family have used this and I see why they chose this.

Since product is impossible to remove with home products of baby or mineral oil, and soap, it breaks my eyelashes off trying to remove the product and, I still end up wearing part of the product to bed at night. This further contributes to the eyelash breakage. And, I don't like wearing my mascara to bed every night. Yes, I know companies make special products to take mascara off. But, I do not want the extra expense, and shouldn't have to. I want to use my money to purchase more beautifying products, not use it to take off a product. I want mascara to be removable with mineral or baby oil and then use soap and water to remove the residue and oil. And, I don't want to have to rub too hard and stretch my delicate eye area in order to remove it. I want it water proof but, only for tears, rain, and swimming. I like that this product smudges very little if I do decide to wear it all night, on occasion. I don't care for the way the spiral brush is made. The bristle hairs on the continuous "spiral" are so close together that the lashes can't be separated by the bristle hairs and, the distance on the spiral "row" is too far apart, causing the lashes to clump together making them look unnatural. I like spirals that have the individual bristle hairs separated enough for the eyelashes to be able to glide in between the bristle hairs but close enough together to coat each eyelash hair. The length of the bristle hairs on the spiral are perfect and, I do like hairs and, hate the wider plastic filaments and nubs some mascaras are using. Please make a waterproof mascara formula that is removable with a cotton ball soaked in oil followed by soap and water. (I also love the blue, green, and brown mascaras made specifically for those color of eyes. I have blue eyes but use all three.) Thank you Ms. B.

I have used this mascara for years!!! I randomly bought a different brand as it was on sale so I didnt use great lash for several months. Due to having a toddler at home, I developed pink eye and had to throw away my makeup. Once the pink eye cleared, I once again got great lash because I know how reliable it is. My eyes hurt every time I wear it!! I get flakes in my eyes from the product and it feels like I have an eyelash in my eye all the time. I'm not sure what is going on but I'm very close to switching brands.

I've used Great Lash for years and have loved it. But the most recent tube I bought seems to have a different formula. The Almay eye makeup remover pads that I've been using forever are suddenly completely defenseless against this mascara. It is very difficult to get off, and when I wake up in the morning, I have black smudges under my eyes. When I reapply for the new day, the previous days leftovers flake off in my eyes. Not sure what is going on, but there is no way I'm going to be able to use the rest of this tube. I'm going to have to find another brand.

This mascara is extremely difficult to remove and would not recommend it

I use Estee Lauder make-up remover and was not able to remove my mascara. I tried soap and water and baby oil. Nothing worked. I tried rubbing my lashes to see if I could peel it off and a whole chunk of my bottom eyelashes came out.
