I REALLY like Maybelline New York. I feel it is a very price friendly range so it’s really easy and cost effective to try out new colours and trends.
When thinking about this topic I realised that some of my favourite products of all time are by Maybelline.
Here’s a little history of Maybelline (source Wikipedia):

The Maybelline Company was created by a 19 year old entrepreneur named Tom Lyle Williams in 1915. Williams noticed his older sister Mabel applying a mixture of Vaseline and coal dust to her eyelashes to give them a darker, fuller look.
He adapted it with a chemistry set and produced a product sold locally called lash-in-brow-line. Williams renamed his eye beautifier Maybelline, in honor of his sister Mabel, who gave him the idea.
In 1917 the company produced Maybelline Cake Mascara, “the first modern eye cosmetic for everyday use” and Ultra Lash in the 1960s, which was the first mass-market automatic. http://www.maybelline.com/
