The Rocket Mascara Review

Maybelline came out with the Rocket Volum' Express Mascara a couple months ago. I am a drugstore mascara and foundation junkie, so whenever a new one comes out I feel like I have to try it!

Here is what Maybelline.com has to say about The Rocket Mascara:

My Experience

I bought the non waterproof very black version of this product . I usually buy non waterproof only because I enjoy washing my face with just face wash and water at night. I do not like having to buy something separate to get my mascara off when everything else comes off with my face wash. I had no problems with applying this mascara. The wand was a good size, but not massive and the product went on to my lashes effortlessly. This mascara formula leans toward the drier side so you do have to work somewhat quickly, but I didn't find myself having to rush. I only needed two quick coats and it gave me the lashes I usually like.  DISCLAIMER: I enjoy BIG lashes that don't look the most natural. The mascara had amazing staying power on my oily skin! I had it on for 12 hours when it was 115 outside (running errands that day as well) and only had the slightest bit of smudging on my lower lashes by 9 pm. It also held my curl all day. I cant complain, i loved it! 

How it Looks

Breakdown

Packaging: A (Thought the bright colors were cute)

Price: A+ ( cant beat 5.94 at Wal Mart!)

Durability: A (so pleasantly surprised with this)

Application: A

Overall: A

I am really excited that I've found a mascara that has for the most part been able to withstand the Vegas heat. If you want big lashes then this is the mascara for you. If you would prefer natural, separated lashes then i would try something different. 

Next week I am going to do a mascara review/demo on Lash Discovery by Maybelline for everyone who enjoys more natural looking lashes.
