Maybelline Volum’ Express The Mega Plush
We all have a vice. For some, it’s mascara. As longtime mascara junkies, we’ve tried formulas from countless brands at nearly every price point. While most mascaras fail to offer the “sky high lashes” of our dreams, Maybelline’s newest Volum’ Express formula seems to be on to something. After a couple of sweeps lashes were indeed voluminous and plush, even after hours of wear. Go ahead and skip the eyeliner; one coat of Mega Plush and your peepers are ready to go. $6.99
