Today's Rave or Remorse features my favorite drugstore mascara brand: Maybelline! They release mascaras like no one else and I've tried a lot of them, and know that choosing amongst the brightly packaged awesomeness can be daunting. Until recently my favorite of the brand was the "Mega Plush" option but "The Rocket" has seized the title dramatically!
The Rocket
The "Mega Plush" was great with it's large brush and bendy wand but the "Rocket" rocks because the brush is slightly smaller, stiffer, and just generally applies less clumpy on my lashes. I thought I was a big brush gal, but my thoughts are shifting after using this baby. It's sort of a middle ground brush that doesn't "rake" the lashes yet separates and lengthens. When I say rake I mean the sensation of using a brush that is too hard and scrapes the lid or grabs the lashes much to aggressively for comfort.

On the volumizing front it doesn't do as much for my lashes but with the length they get, I don't even notice! The added bonus of de-clumping my lashes is a big seller also. No one likes the Spongebob look afterall... As far as removal goes, it was pretty easy for my challenging eyes. I used a washcloth, hot water and soap and it came off no problem. I love it! Sometimes mascaras can irritate my eyes after long wear (like make them itchy) but this didn't seem to do that as much as others I've tried.
It retails in my area for about $8.00 but often goes on a 3-for-2 sale or something similar : )

I think it is safe to say the Maybelline the Rocket is a: RAVE!
