Hair: Thick, medium texture, and prone to flyaways due to lots of random coarse strands; currently dark golden brown

Eyecolor: Hazel

Age: 31

Skin Tone: Medium fair with yellow undertones

Skin Type: Combination with somewhat oily t-zone and dry areas around the nose and chin which I need to be ever-vigilant about exfoliating (or the blackheads appear). I also have stubborn undereye darkness that definitely requires concealer.

NEW Maybelline Define-a-Lash Volume Mascara

What They Say: "This zero clump volumizing mascara creates voluptuous volume with clean definition.

* Patented shaped-to-the-lash brush
* Ophthalmologist tested, Contact lens safe
* Washable"

Melissa Says: In comparison to my experience with several Maybelline mascaras, this one was a disappointment. I actually thought this did clump a bit, but more of a concern was how it tended to separate my lashes into puny-looking spaced-apart pieces, actually doing the opposite of giving me more volume. True, some of the individual lashes looked thicker, but I didn't get the wall of luscious lashes that I have come to expect from many of the volume-boosting mascara formulas that do just that. And my lashes felt a bit brittle once the product dried, too.

Retail Price: $7.49 (at drugstores everywhere)
