That is a question I had been considering myself. Which is better?
I have been a long time user of Maybelline the Rocket. I believe that came out while I was just starting college. It was my go-to-mascara for a long time. However, I had finally used up my Waterproof Maybelline Rocket.
What should I get next? I went ahead and bought just the regular Maybelline Rocket Mascara (not waterproof). Always need a backup right?
My husband last Christmas got me a unique gift! He got me a Christmas Birchbox deal, where I got to try 3 Birchboxes for $20-$30 bucks. (I believe.). Check out my review of these Birchboxes here!
In one of these Birchboxes, I got the MAC 3D Lash Extension. I was honestly shocked how much I liked it at first. I started to wonder…should I splurge and actually get a more fancy mascara?
This question has been on my mind for months, so I finally decided to give both mascaras a full days test wear. Click here to watch my video!
My results?
The Rocket seemed to apply so much better. Also, one eye does often turn out better than the other, so that might be a bit of a factor.
At 3:43 – The rocket was still holding its curl better. The rocket also seemed to help spread my lashes out more which makes them look more voluptuous and longer!
At 5:11 – Same result – Looks like I will continue to stick to my rocket and save my money for something else fun to try. I had even spent some time outside and my rocket was holding up great.
Here is what they looked like when I removed my mascara.
The rocket seemed to have applied much more mascara than the Mac.
While the Mac is fun in sample size, I would not purchase a full. If you are interested in trying a new mascara, I highly recommend the Maybelline Rocket! It is sold almost anywhere that there is makeup. I hope my test was amusing to read and educational for your mascara knowledge! 😉
Happy Friday!
