Maybelline One by One Volum'Express Mascara

I've been trying out Maybelline's One by One Volum'Express mascara alongside BeneFit's They Real (yes, I know, I will never shut up about this mascara...) and it's quickly become my favourite every day mascara. I bought it on a whim because it was on 3 for 2 and there were only two other products from Maybelline I wanted at the time.

Maybelline say:

"Up to 4x bigger looking, flirtier lashes.

You’ll discover lashes you didn’t know you had, for clean, clump-free volume, instantly!"

I'd say they're half right. I don't think it makes my lashes look four times 'bigger looking' but the brush does catch lashes that other mascaras don't so I do look like I have more lashes when I use this. I wouldn't say it's clump free; in the photos I've used two coats and you can see that it does clump a little.  I put this on one eye and They're Real on the other to do the Boyfriend Test. He preferred the eye with They're Real on it because the lashes looked a bit more defined, longer and thicker.

I do find that I get a teeny bit of smudging after several hours with the One by One but it is so much easier to remove than They're Real which is a plus! All in all, it's a nice product and as I said, a great every day mascara.

This is the first Maybelline mascara I've tried in a long time and I have to say I'm impressed. I'm thinking of trying another mascara either from Maybelline or another drugstore brand so if you have any recommendations please leave them in the comments!
