If you’re down at MidValley Megamall this past weekend you might have noticed the bright purple and yellow Maybelline promotion area smack in the middle of the Lower Ground floor. Welcome to the world of Magnum lashes… or so Maybelline promises.
Some time last year, I came across a new yellow tube of mascara by Maybelline called Colossal i.e. HUGE. We never got it and so I forgot about it. When I saw the new yellow Volum’ Express Magnum mascara, I thought they’d brought in Colossal but under a different name. Connie of Skindeco soon set me straight by telling me that Maybelline Colossal and Magnum are 2 different mascara. Ah!
Unfortunately, whenever anyone says Magnum, here’s what I think of:-
Haha… but yeah mascara is not quite in the forefront of my mind 😛
So ok, after giggling at the picture of Tom Selleck above, you are thinking “So, seriously, what do you think of Maybelline Magnum mascara?” and I’m happy to tell you that although Maybelline mascara and I were never best friends, we are slowly getting to be friends.
The Maybelline Volum’ Express Magnum mascara (I’ll just call it Magnum from now on) is part of the Volum’ Express range which um… adds volume 😛 Length however, is debatable. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that whilst this mascara does add volume commendably and a little length, you can’t expect the long lashed false eyelash look because it just won’t happen. If you have naturally short lashes, nothing will give you that lush long lashed look of falsies except falsies!
But coming back to Maybelline Magnum. Take a look at the brush. Its interesting.
