Why advertising works
Maybelline is always touted as the best mascara. Even stacked up against higher priced, more organic, no matter, it comes up the winner in every magazine. Do you know why? Marketing. That’s right because honestly the mascara SUCKS. Once again, I tried it, this time Maybelline Great Lash BIG because I read in Oprah that it is great. It is not.
The mascara smears. It doesn’t smear when you try to clean it off, it smears on its on. You can barely get it off when you want to and yet it is always coming off when you don’t want it to. It is cheap mascara. Plain and simple. It doesn’t work.
I was in the bathroom wiping under my eye when another woman walked up – I told her about this issue and she said she has the same problem. And both of us admitted to continually buying Maybelline, which is touted as the best selling mascara, but always being disappointed.
Maybelline sucks. Don’t believe the ads. It is not the best mascara. By any stretch.

I agree w/ you on the Maybelline thing. Try the new Cover Girl mascara that Drew Barrymore promotes called “LastBlash” comes in big colorful packaging. Have been super pleased with it.
Best,
Me.

I’ll try – I went to Saks when I was in NY and got the clay de peau – i love it but it’s pricey and if we were throwing away mascara like we should – every six months max – it is very pricey!
