Maybelline New York XXL Volume + Length Microfiber Mascara Review Summary

Maybelline New York XXL Volume + Length Microfiber Mascara is a mascara applied with two wands, one for primer and the other for mascara. The results are long curly eyelashes made to “pop” your eyes and get you attention. Kelly1020 says, “One day I decided to try the XXL and I'm glad I did” LaurieOCS says, “I gave it a try and, indeed, it does what's promised... the white "primer" coat really does get your lashes ready for the darker coat and it makes them look longer.” However, it may take some time to get used to using the two wands that are much shorter than regular wands. Some reviewers became frustrated with clumping or running out of one product before the other. Most reviewers agree that Maybelline New York XXL Volume + Length Microfiber Mascara does what they want it to – provide them with long lasting, long wearing long lashes.

maybelline xxl mascara is a pretty decent mascara. I thought the way it was split into two parts was pretty spiffy. The design for this product was really eye catchy and I think that presentation is a huge part of marketing. I think its neat that there are two different mascara things and one is white...

I like this stuff- its great for girls like me with pathetic eyelashes.  For years I used department store mascaras and was outdone by the big thick lashes that my husband has.  I mean, seriously, boys should not have better eyelashes than girls!  When our finances changed and I decided that I didn't need to spend $15-20 on mascara, I tried this.  Love it!  And let me tell you- the waterproof version will not let you down.  For days at a time!  Get yourself a good mascara remover when you get this stuff! NOw, on the downside, since its a double ended tube, you can tend to end up with uneven...

Maybelline Intense XXL Volume + Length mascara, as you may know from the commercials, takes two steps to apply, which I personally can't stand. First you apply the white stuff that's supposed to lengthen and volumize your lashes I guess, but if you don't apply the other side right away, before the white dries, then forget it. Welcome to having scary white eyelashes for the rest of the day. If you do apply it quickly enough though, then maybe it's not black and looks ok. On the other hand maybe only part of it is black and there are still spots where it is still white. Even if you get the black...

Ever since Maybelline discontinued Fresh Lash, I have been searching for a good waterproof mascara. Waterproof Great Lash just wasn't as good...but I didn't know what else to try - I've always liked Maybelline mascaras best.

One day I decided to try the XXL and I'm glad I did. Non-clumping, easy to apply. Stays put, too, just like waterproof Fresh Lash used to! There's a white primer coat on one end and the black mascara on the other. I usually put on 2 coats of white and then I only need one coat of the black.

Goes on easily and, more importantly, comes off easily. I have never had a waterproof...

When the first generation of these two-in-one mascaras came out, it seemed like a gimmick have consumers use twice as much product in each application - hence the company would sell twice as much.  But I gave it a try and, indeed, it does what's promised... the white "primer" coat really does get your lashes ready for the darker coat and it makes them look longer. I've tried many brands, and Maybelline is the least expensive and delivers the same results.  I think it has a better applicator, too.  Sometimes the mascara clumps up a bit after extensive use, but I think that's true of most mascaras. ... review »

Usually I don't like wearing/using eye makeup because it always feels clumpy and it flakes and it smudges when you rub your eyes. My sister bought this mascara and she wanted to try it out on me. So I let her. It wasn't sticky or clumpy and it does flake when you first put it on, but after that, it sticks. It also adds a lot of volume and is waterproof. I couldn't even get it all off with makeup remover and it ended up staying on for 2 days straight before it started to come off. This is the only mascara I use and it's well-worth the price. I highly reccomend this for people who want a waterproof... review »

I've tried more mascaras than I can count.  They're either too clumpy, don't give enough length and/or volume.  This is the first mascara I've used in years that does it all.  At first I wasn't sure about the 2 layer concept.  Then I realized I was buying a primer & a mascara anyway, I might as well get them in one place.  It works for me and does a good job of giving me great lashes without alot of work.  One coat of each & I'm ready to go.  I only use the waterproof.

I love it! take some time and get your lashes as long as you want them! It does take some time getting used to, if the second coat is not thick enough, they will crumble a bit, but i have fallen asleep with it on and woke to find it the same as the lond day before. The lashes can also get a little chuncky if you don't use the brush or a lash seperator. I recommend this to all my friends!

I like to experiment with my makeup and try new products.One I have found and am very satisfied with is this mascara.Unlike other mascaras this one was not too clumpy on the eyelashes and was easy to apply . Apply the base coat to add length and then apply the top coat . Makes eyelashes look longer and thicker . I will definitely purchase this mascara again .

This mascara is AWESOME!!!!! My lashes are thin and short. I have always wanted my lashes to stand out. I have tried numerous mascaras and always came up short. I decided to try the Maybelline New York XXL Volume and I LOVE it. It doesn't clump or make my lashes look fake. It does seem to make them look longer. I don't think I will need any other mascara ever.

i love it at first, but in daily routine, i dont prefer it.
I like to have light mascara in daily routine, this is perfect for some night party , when you may like to show bulky lashes...
but doent go with my daily routine, although it is good for those who like to wear heavy mascara and also who loves long lashes all the time.

I picked this up the other day at the local drugstore and am very happy with it. It's a little different that usual mascara and for some people I can see how that would take a little getting used to. The good thing is that it makes my lashes look so long and thick! It's also not very expensive and I like that as well.

I previously purchased only MAC cosmetics, I believe this mascara was on sale I brought it to see if it would work and it does. It is a two step process first applying the conditioner than the actual mascara but it does lengthen the eyelashes.
