Maybelline LTD ED colored Great Lash Mascara in I See Blue & Vision in Violet: Swatch + Review

I went into the store the other day and decided to browse around the make-up section when I noticed a little stand of these new Limited Edition Great Lash colored Mascaras from Maybelline! I don't really wear mascara but when I saw these colored ones, I knew I had to try them out and see if they would actually show up on my black lashes. I picked up two colors: I See Blue and Vision in Violet.

The colors when I brushed them on my hand showed up true to their color so I was excited to see how they'd transfer to my lashes.

I took pictures without flash and with flash.

As you can see below, the blue is definitely noticeable which I love. It adds the nicest pop of color and wears great. It didn't smudge on me at all and came off easily with eye make-up remover.

The purple on the other hand was not so noticeable--actually, it wasn't noticeable at all. It just looked like black or dark brown mascara on my eye lashes.

I found a way for the purple to somewhat show and that was by using some mascara first, dusting some translucent powder on my lashes and then coating it with the colored mascara. It was barely noticeable. I'm not quite sure how this would look on blonde lashes but it would probably show up better.

The wand on these brushes, however, I found to work really well as a bottom eyelash mascara so the purple mascara won't really go to waste.

If you do want a colored mascara that does show up, I highly recommend the blue one. They have other colors in the line that I want to try such as a teal and a pink one and I feel like since those colors would be lighter, they would show up (*fingers crossing*)

For the price, they can't be beat for a colored mascara and especially for the blue one because it actually works.
