I decided to try this mascara as som many magazines etc say how wonderful Maybelline Great Lash mascara is. I cannot pass comment on the regular variety but I found this waterproof one to be very disappointing.
The product is in a pink tube with bright green top so very distinctive and easy to spot. It has the wording in black down the side.
It cost me £4.79 in Boots but I'm sure a better price could be found if you shop around.
So, onto using the mascara: It took several coats to get a reasonable look anywhere near the full lash effect I like to achieve and it was very difficult to balance this against making it clumpy. Two or three hours after applying the mascara began to dry and flake a little, which proved very irritating. It also meant I had no chance of seeing whether it was waterproof - but it seems unlikely!
I expected better than this, especially from Maybelline as other products of theirs that I have tried have been very good. The mascara now sits unused at the bottom of my make-up drawer.
I decided to try other brands and found rimmel's new waterproof mascara a better budget buy (3.99)and Boots No7 a superior 'quality' purchase (6.29)
