Why this Maybelline Mascara
The Maybelline Total Temptation Mascara has been hugely hyped by beauty bloggers all over the world, so I thought let’s give it a try. I am a makeup junkie but like to wear makeup strategically if that makes sense. I like to accentuate only one part of my face and rarely wear a full coverage foundation.
I like to have a sleek, youthful, and fresh makeup look to which a good mascara is a must addition. Maybelline is known to be a forerunner of the best drugstore mascara formulas since its inception. I have tried many of its formulas and loved it in the past. Many cult favorite mascaras that even celebrities and renowned makeup artists swear by comes from this brand. Its pocket- friendly and sometimes performs better than high-end products.
My lashes
I have short black lashes. I need all the help in the volume and length department as my lashes are negligible, to say the least. I like my mascaras to give me length, thickness and have a curled, fan-out effect. I use mascara daily, so I want it All.

How is the packaging of this Maybelline Mascara?
What are its Texture and Fragrance like?
The texture is quite thick, so it takes a bit of time to dry down. But once it sets, there is no transferring of the product. Even with the thick texture, you can quickly build the product for several layers to get the desired effect.

What about Maybelline Total Temptation Mascara application?
It is simple yet very effective in depositing the maximum product without overdoing it. It curls the eyelashes a bit, which stays curled for a long time as its formula is waxy and whipped. My only issue with this total temptation mascara formula is it clumps. As the formula is very creamy, the more you use it, the clumpier it will get.
Although it layers well, the lashes will not be that well defined. They will stick to each other. That’s also a look if you want doll-like lashes. Sometimes after a few hours outdoors, I see this maybelline mascara crumbling on my lower lashes. It’s nothing major, and some people like the clumpy mascara look so you can get away with it. Due to the clumpy texture, it gives the appearance of fuller lashes. So clumping is not entirely an issue.
What is longevity of this Maybelline Mascara?
However, as the formula is a bit thick, I have to use a minimum of two cotton rounds and a good makeup remover to remove it completely. I have to use waterproof mascara because the regular ones never seem to last on my eyelids and smudge everywhere.
So I have to make an extra effort to remove the product. But it’s worth it as long as it does what it’s supposed to do.

Final thoughts
Maybelline Total Temptation Mascara is a good everyday mascara. It adds volume and length to my short lashes, and I think it would do wonders for people with long lashes. The formula is a bit clumpy, and the lashes may not appear naturally separated. The wand is thick, so people with small lid space or hooded eyes might have an issue using it without getting it all over the eyelids. But, overall, its one of the better mascaras in the market and a must-try if you are looking for a new mascara to try.
