Maybelline Rocket Volume mascara

This has been my mascara of choice lately, think I'm on my 3rd or 4th tube? It works, for me, pretty darn well for the price. I have very oily eyelids, and once in a while I do get a black dot on my upper lid, but can be wiped away very easily. Had tried the waterproof version, didn't like that one very much! The only other problem I have with it is that the brush is pretty big, and it's hard to get the inner corners of my upper lashes because the brush is so large. I think I'm going to get a mascara with a smaller brush for the 1st layer, then use the Rocket as the last layer. If you search youtube, there's a lot of demo's on it. Good luck!

I buy this at Walmart when I'm not in stock with Mally Mascara, which I really like. It's excellent. It goes on sale frequently and it's maybe six a tube. I even buy it for friends--I had one who was between jobs and got her a tube when her makeup ran out and she was so thrilled to find something that good that performs.

I don't feel like spending fifteen or even ten on mascara--you should throw it out ever couple of months and that seems a big waste to me. If the Mally weren't on sale or in a kit, I would be using Rocket right now.

I just got this yesterday and was so happy it's available in brownish black waterproof. Great mascara!

I like this but I get the dreaded black dots beneath my eyebrows halfway thru the day.

silkyk, does the waterproof version need a lot of work to remove? That's the reason I don't like waterproof mascaras, some need real work to get them off!!

TIA

I don't care for this at all. It was very, very difficult for me to remove. I ended up tossing it.

It reminded me a lot of Benefit They're Real mascara which I also don't care for.

I like a traditional mascara wand, not those plastic ones.

No trouble getting it off with the Andrea EyeQ's Makeup Remover pads. The "Ultra Quick" in the blue plastic jar only! Made especially for waterproof eye makeup and works great.

Thanks silkyk, I wonder if it would come off with Purity - have you ever tried it? I use the Almay makeup remover pads but the ones for waterproof makeup are very oily. Is the Andrea EyeQs oily, too??

I think I'll try the waterproof version when there's a deal at either Walgreens or CVS. Thanks!
