THE VERDICT:

I kept thinking real hard why this thing was called Rocket. Maybe it is because of the shape of the tube? Not really because Maybelline Colossal is in the same tube, but named Colossal. After a few uses, I've come to realize why: Rocket gives you thick-to-thin lashes, which is pretty much like the shape of a rocket. Doesn't sound too nice for something that promises intense volume, eh? The effect is actually nice, and the succeeding photos will show you why later.

MAYBELLINE ROCKET MASCARA IN DETAIL

Rocket is the newest mascara by Maybelline and it promises to deliver clump- free, 8x volume to your lashes. Formula is waterproof and locally, we have one shade, Black.

Rocket boasts of its new patented jumbo brush that's supposed to volumize your lashes in one coat. I've had my fair share of using this kind of wand and I can say that I still like the performance of traditional wands with nylon bristles better. With this wand, I get semi- defined lashes initially, but the significant volumizing effect takes place by the second coat. Texture is soft mousse and it dries efficiently and true to its claim, I didn't get clumpy lashes from it.

To expound further on my thick-to-thin statement, Rocket gives your thicker lashes at the base and sleeker tips so you won't get that spider legs look-this is what I like about it. Drying time is pretty fast, but you have enough time to even out the coverage. Nope, it doesn't feel sticky and doesn't weigh my lashes down.

It doesn't flake and despite its waterproof formula, it dissolves easily with eye makeup remover.

This is a nice mascara, but I do think it has its limitations. I did an experiment and applied it on my very short and sparse lower lashes and it clumped like crazy. The wand (and any mascara with this type of wand for that matter) is not friendly to all sorts of lash types. It works best on those with considerably long lash strands (like mine). I'm just glad that in the end, I still got what I wanted from this mascara and that is good volume.
