I bought maybelline hypercurl express volume mascara few months back for an occassion. I wanted something that was not so expensive but gave good results.Something I liked about maybelline hypercurl mascara is that it does curl your eyelashes and is waterproof.But really does not give any volume on eyelashes as they promise.My eyes did not even look like I had applied mascara, it just looked like I curled them with an eyelash curler.Secondly the mascara brush is not really user friendly if you like to apply mascara on your lower lashes.I literally looked like a panda when I tried.And it being waterproof it was a pain to take if off from under the eyes, I ended up removing my concealer too. Its hard to apply on your inner corners also. I highly dont recommend you buying this for any special occasion coz you wont even look like you have applied any mascara.Maybe its ok for daily wear.
