I think it's time to declare this week "Wet 'n' Wild Week" on my blog! :)
This is the Mega Volume mascara in the only color it comes in, Black. They also have Mega Length, Mega Plump, Lash Intense (The one I returned today), Mega Protein, and Mega Wink mascaras.
You get 0.27oz of product for $2.99. Just as a comparison, Maybelline's The Colossal Volum' Express mascara gives you .31oz. So this mascara is smaller in size than a typical volumizing mascara.
A look at the brush:
The brush is what you'd expect from an average volumizing mascara. It's large, fluffy, and pretty generic.
One thing I don't like about the packaging is that the opening of the tube is a little small for the size of the brush. Extra product accumulates at the top every time I take the wand out of the tube.
A look at its performance:
(Bare eye, lashes not curled)
(One coat, lashes curled)
(Two coats)
As you can see, this mascara does hardly anything for my lashes. It doesn't "cling" to them as I apply it, and it definitely doesn't volumize. From far away you can barely tell I have mascara on. Personally, I'd rather not even wear mascara if it produces no results!
Pros:
-After re-reading the description, it DOES say it gives you "natural-looking volume". I'll give it to Wet 'n' Wild that it makes my lashes look natural- but like I'm not wearing anything.
-It won't dent your wallet at only $2.99. And if you get it as part of a BOGO like I did, you can get it half-priced or free.
-The packaging is small, so it's good if you like something easily portable (Although this is a negative for me too because I'm not getting as much product).
Cons:
-Doesn't add volume
-Formula isn't very buildable (You can tell a slight difference between the 1st and 2nd coats, but not much)
-Doesn't "cling" to my lashes well and isn't noticeable
I got this mascara BOGO 50% off with my purchase of their Lash Intense mascara. However, since this mascara was such a fail, I returned that one. Their others may be better than the Mega Volume, but I'll let you decide for yourself if it's worth $2.99. I think I'm staying far away from their mascaras after this!
