Maybelline The Magnum Barbie Mascara: Review, EOTD
Hello All 🙂
When you have only 10 minutes to catch that connected flight:
What does normal people do : Goes directly to the catch the flight
What does Swathi do : Goes to maybelline counter with the exact money in hand and buys that new launch 😛
What does parents do : They just sigh!! They are used to it =))
Maybelline The Magnum Barbie Mascara came out when I went to shimla trip in April, my hands were itching and I bought this in airport. I talk way too much about shimla trip isn’t it? like I am promoting place or something. lol .Lets go onto the review.
Price : 399 INR for 9.2ml
What does MNY say: Give your lashes the million bucks effect with the fluffiest volume and longest length this season with the Magnum Barbie Mascara.It has two different lenghts of fibers to create the most natural fluffy lashes with the most extreme length. It’s waterproof and weightless.
My thoughts on this Mascara:
The packaging is like barbie in tube..lol . What else to say when the Cap is Metallic Pink color and body color is Yellow. Very bright, girly and cute. The first time when I opened the Mascara, I was welcomed with the same old strong chemical scent, which now has subsided. The Shade is black and it’s intense jet black. The formula is thick and dries fast. I find the Maybelline falsies formula lighter than this, even at its later stage. The curved wand resembles to that of the Maybeline Falsies, but doesn’t work like one. Strange. I know I have been comparing it with MNY Falsis a lot, but hey MNY started it 😛
The wand successfully coats lashes well and gives my non existence lashes a good curl, length and bit volume. From 2nd coat onwards, its starts to clump. Honestly my lashes are happy with 1 coat itself. I haven’t seen it smudging around the eyes, it sits pretty the whole day. Since its waterproof Mascara getting it off is no less than a battle. around 3-4 lashes have been scarified already. It needs a good oil based makeup remover to remove it from lashes completely.
Pros :
Affordable, Gives Bit volume and length, Gives curl to lashes, Waterproof, No smudging.
Cons :
Taking it off from the lash is difficult ( Needs a good oil based remover) , clumps from 2nd coat, no Barbie effect to the lashes.
Last words:
My poor lashes took this Mascara well. But Is it something new? Not really. I have used almost all the Mascara of the MNY and I don’t find Maybelline The Magnum Barbie Mascara unique, the only relief is that it doesn’t cost a bomb. Even the Volume express Mascara which is priced less than this does the same job. I will stick to MNY Falsies and I have bought a new one already, my lashes seriously love it. If you skip this and go for some other MNY Mascara, you wont miss out on anything.
Have you used this? Which is favorite Mascara ?

I’ve seen this mascaa hyped over and about to order it after seeing your review I’m confused if I should go for Falsies or this one! Please tell me 🙂
I vote for Falsies 🙂
nice honest review…….I’m going to skip this 🙂
Thanks Aditi 🙂
So true..all reviews I have read say the same..nothing very extraordinary..Even My family is used to that new launch drama of me.. :p :p
hehe Hi5. Its good but we have seen it allready 🙂
I might skip this mascara. Loved reading your review Swathi 🙂
Thanks Safi 🙂
I really dont understand what is the need of selling the same products with different names!!! This one sounds nothing different from the other variants of MNY mascaras 🙁
You are absolutely right. Plus it works like the one priced lesser than this.
LOL I loved that opening wherein you stated about the itch we makeup lovers have 😀 😀 Your parents still merely sigh; I get annoyed looks for a full 5 minutes and a threatening of cutting down my pocket money 😀 I love the MNY falsies too 🙂 🙂
he he. They dont even care anymore, they just hate it when these SA’s come near them =)) Same pinch
Swathi I have been seeing this mascara everywhere these days but everyone has mixed opinion about iy.I love my Maybelline Falsies and Colossal a lot so I think I will let this one pass.Nicely reviewed though.
If you love Fasies you wont like this. Thanks 🙂
Will skip this one. Packaging looks super girly. I have only used HYPERCURL though.
And that works better than this. Yeah packaging pops from the vanity =))
Wow, I love this mascara!
Kisses, Paola.

You are insane Swathi, but be like that 😛 😀 Barbie! Such a cool girly name 🙂 It seems to be a decent mascara, loved your review <3
Ha ha I will be like that. Thanks 🙂
i havent tried any of these new mascaras by maybelline.. i’ve just tried the hypercurl and the colossal ones, i quite like both. i’m really curious to try out falsies though after reading you rave about it haha x
Ha ha. Happens… I over raved Falsies 😀
This sounds okhayish to me 😀
Okhay, I dunno, why am I so hooked on to the Falsies Mascara that I never try other mascaras or feel that they wont be good enough. 😛
Every time I try deviating from Falsies it always disappoint, except one of the Essence mascara. I better stick to Falsies 😛
Attractive packaging but nothing else makes it special. I like the hypercurl one from Maybelline.
That works better than this 🙂
Great to know… thanks for an honest review! =)

Awwiee in it works the same then what’s the point of naming convention. Lol. Nice review, and bloggers are always on the job even when running out of time 😀
ROFL..naming convention =))
Yay.. see you guys understand :* 😀
I have been having this on my wish list for quite some time, but after reading few reviews I think my Falsies is better
Oh yes, Falsies any day 🙂
Hehehe he loved the story how you got it…I loved the swatch and eotd. I would stick to falsies but would love to try it at least once as the curl on your lashes is evident and I love good curling mascara 🙂

Thanks 🙂
The Packaging is quite quirky, but nothing special as per offering.
True 🙂
I love the maybelline falsies more than this one
Me too 🙂
Volume express and lash sensatiional for me 🙂 Skipping this one lols at your airport episode 😀
ha ha 😛 They are good…
I wanted to pick this and hence asked for it at the H&G counter yesterday. It was unavailable at that time and now, I need to re-think about getting this one. Thanks for the honest review Swathi. 🙂
Glad this helped you Lancy. If you have ever liked colossal or Falsies I dont think this will impress much 🙂
i have read some really good and some really bad reviews of this mascara, i’m quite sure when it comes to mascara i always bank on maybelline falsies nothing comes even close to it…
True. I have liked one of the Essence Mascara but then got back together with Falsies =))
