Maybelline Volum' Express One By One Mascara Review

My short, sparse lashes are the bane of my existence. I envy those who have really long, lush, doll-like lashes. I am trying some lash growth gel right now and will be reporting results soon, but for now, false lashes are my best friend. I've tried mascaras and some do help, but others just make my lashes clumpy and spider-like. This is my first time to try mascaras like the Maybelline Volum' Express One By One that has the plastic applicator. I know that these mascaras are supposed to give length and volume without making your lashes clumpy.

Using Volum' Express One By One mascara



I like how it gives this feathery, non-clumpy look. However, it did not mask how sparse my lashes are, so I really have to apply a volumizing mascara with it. This mascara would be great for those who have normal lashes, and by normal, I mean those who have normal amount of lash hairs. Since I have very sparse lashes, this really didn't do anything much in the volume department, however, it is great to keep your lashes from getting that clumpy look.

I will continue to use it as it gives my lashes a blacker look without overdoing it, and I love how it separates each lash. It does have a scent, but it's not cloying or annoying; it has this floral scent that smells okay to me. It is drier than most mascaras, but I think that is the idea in order to prevent clumping.

I apply at least three coats of this because the plastic applicator really applies product so sparsely that you have to build it up. It lengthens a little bit. I use this in tandem with my Maybelline XXL Pro Volume mascara, which makes my lashes fuller and longer. I apply Volum' Express One by One right after XXL Pro Volume to separate the hairs and add a little more length and dimension to the lashes.
