Hi, everyone,
All right, so it's time for another review and I will jump on to one product I've been wanting to lay my hands on (and I am in the need of new mascara as well). Like I've said it once somewhere before, I have made an unbreakable vow with Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express (in my opinion, it's just the BEST drugstore mascara in this whole wide world), but someone's lashes does need a bit of new spark, right?
So it's here and there I have it, a new launch by Maybelline Indonesia, The Rocket Volum' Express mascara.
Let me be honest, I've been eyeing this mascara since I saw it on YouTube and one of my beauty guru, Estée (you may find her on her channel essiebutton) legitimately praises this baby. Then I went to Maybelline website and found this:
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
Explosive Volume in Rocket Time!
8X Bigger. Smoother. Even.
Now, the most explosive, beautiful lashes ever! Volum' Express The Rocket Mascara's patented Supersonic Brush with micro bristles loads on big, sleek volume instantly.
Our fast-glide formula keeps lashes smooth.
Zero clumps!
Sounds bombastic, eh? I mean just look at this stunning packaging!

I looove the striking blue tube and the touch of shocking pink just made everything looks even cooler. The shape of the packaging itself represents a rocket, funky yet slick. It's made of plastic, a bit bulky and kinda hard to fit it in my cosmetic bag, yes, but I don't mind. It's the signature of Maybelline mascaras anyway and I literally live on theirs for years now.
I like how they put short claim at the back-side of the tube, somehow it motivates me to use this mascara.

Look at that big, firm, chunky wand. Isn't it satisfying just to look on this spiky-buddy?
The brush is actually made of plastic, unlike other Maybelline mascaras (re: Indonesia version). Actually, I am no big fan of plastic-brush, but I am so into big mascara wand so I think it's OK to flick my eyelashes occasionally with this 'cause it does give fantastic volume.
Now let's check on the claim:
Explosive Volume in Rocket Time! 8X Bigger. Smoother. Even.
Volumizing wise, hell yeah. This mascara will give you big fat lashes.
Fast-glide formula keeps lashes smooth.
Um, unfortunately no. When you apply it wrong, it would be a disaster as in "spidery lashes".
Zero clumps!
Oh, well, I'll talk about any downside later on.
So here comes the swatch... Note that I just bought it three days ago, it's on a perfect condition (in terms of bristle and formula), and I didn't wipe off the excess at all.

OK, now the pros and the cons.
Why do I love it?
Why shouldn't I give The Falsies a rest?
Anyway, I will repurchase this particular product for sure. I mean, I love the shape of the wand and I need it in my life. Big thanks to Maybelline Indonesia for bringing this product to the country (honestly, Maybelline, I can't wait much longer for your Eyestudio Color Tattoo, your teaser is driving me crazy!) :D
Overall, for the Rocket, again just mind to work with thin layers and build up to 2 or 3 coats as too much product will clump your lashes.
What say you, girls?
Love,

PS: seriously, Color Tattoo, pleaseee! :D :D
Why do I love it?
- I love the look of this mascara, the tube, the wand, the formula, it looks so powerful and convincing
- Awesome packaging, I totally love the color!
- The wand really gives volume to your lashes, like, serious volume. It will separate and define your lashes really well
- I can work with the brush shape which is kinda tapered by the tip so it's easier to reach those baby lashes on my inner corner
- It does not smudge my lid, not at all. Just no black stain anywhere around my eyes. I guess it because of the stiff plastic bristle, no?
- It has no scent, thumbs up
- No crunchy-lashes effect
- Oh, yes, it is very buildable when you work with thin layers
- The Rocket will give you super intense black lashes
- Easy to remove with eye makeup remover
Why shouldn't I give The Falsies a rest?
- I need to dab the excess off on tissue paper (dab, not wipe) as it will clump your lashes when you use too much product. You have to be very careful with thick coats, it will instantly give you spidery finish. I've started to apply very thin layers since my second try and the mascara seems to be working just fine
- Even though I love the formula of this mascara, I think it's kinda different as it's very wet and sorta sticky (this tangled my lashes together several times), almost like gel, which is kinda weird
- Doesn't look as smooth as promised and it doesn't lengthen much, The Falsies will do a better job
- Not waterproof, so instead of perking your lashes up, it will droop you lashes down a little if you apply a tad too much
- I don't know whether it's just me, but after a long day this mascara will turn flaky
