Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara Review

I purchased this from Countdown when they sent me my voucher. Love feeling like I'm getting something for free even if it is cause I spend far too much money on groceries. I had been looking at purchasing this for a while as I adore the packaging and the plastic brushes are usually my fav. As a note I also purchased this in waterproof as normal mascara always smudges on me.

I adore the packaging. The light pink really appeals to me. It is quite a thick tube but the brush is reasonably big so I suppose that makes sense. The brush is a plastic bristle one that is slightly curved.

My problem with this is probably mostly about the formula. It claims to be waterproof but this always smudges on me by the end of the day meaning I have black smudges above my eyes. I have naturally long lashes but this doesn't hold a curl very well, and as the formula is quite wet is seems to just make them clump together. I think if you had shorter lashes it would make them look a bit longer but I like mascaras that make them look a bit fuller at the same time. It just makes my lashes looks like spiders legs, rather than voluminous lovely lashes.

Overall not a fan. But there are always new mascara's out there and it is fun to try new things unfortunately it doesn't mean you always love them.

I have fairly short boring lashes, so I have tried a fair few mascaras to try and make by lashes look plumper and longer.

Maybelline's Lash Sensational recieved a bit of a hype, so I naturally had to look into it.

The brush has two sides, the shorter one aimed to reach the roots and the longer one to fan out the lashes. I mostly found myself inclined to use the longer bristles as they felt more like a normal mascara brush, but it is worthwhile trying to use both.

The effect this mascara has on my lashes was it made them look longer, a little thicker and they did fan out more than I expected.

I also liked the packaging, it felt classy and feminine.

I would repurchase.

Surely a cheaper drug store brand of mascara wouldn't do what all those high end expensive ones would?! I was skeptical but after reading the glowing reviews in BR on this I HAD to try it for myself. I am always on the look out for a great mascara that will make my 'hardly there' lashes make people want to stand up and pay attention.

The packaging! Omigoodness you can't get much sexier and girly than this tube. It's a pastel pink/purple which screams feminine to me. It's sleek and fits perfectly in any makeup bag for when you are on the run. The wand itself excites me most of all. It is curved to my eye shape which allows me to distribute the mascara evenly and precisely. It even curls my lashes a tad while I apply it, The wand holds just the right amount of product without grabbing too much or having the goopy mess on the tip like some mascaras do.

I start at the root of my lashes and wriggle the wand up through them to ensure that all lashes get a good coating of this black magic. I do two coats to make sure that I have all the oomph I need and want. I do the same to the wispy bottom lashes. After I am finished I look like I have dolly lashes! WHOA! In love already!

What I love most about this mascara besides the obvious performance is that it doesn't dry hard on my lashes. It remains soft and it doesn't clump my lashes together. It keeps them separate and shows volume as well as length. It lasts all day long without smudging or washing off in the rain! I have a new best friend and at $23 it will be BFF's!!

My eyelashes have never looked so big! Love this stuff! I have very small lashes so I never get my hopes up when it comes to trying new mascaras but this one is by far better than any others I've ever tried. I've already recommended it to friends and family who have gone out and bought it and also love it. This is my new holey Grail mascara.

Not so sensational. I bought this mascara thinking awesome it's bound to work it's by a great company an was in my budget at the time. I noticed the brush had two sizes / sides to use. Top lash bottom lash maybe? I tried both ways an I got nothing but clumpy. Tried it again the next day and similar results but left it on to see if it would even out. It didnt then started to flake an sting my eyes :( This was disappointing for me the mascara literally fell off my lashs no idea why but it wasn't working for me.

I'm always looking for a mascara that makes my lashes longer, curls and makes my eyes pop. This is it! If you are after a dramatic look you will get it with this. I love the fact it stays in place and does not flake. The brush is curved, with a smaller comb on the inside of the brush making it easier to get to those tiny lashes that almost always seem to get forgotten. And a larger brush that creates the drama. I've been on the look out for something similar to Yve Saint Laurent curl mascara with out the hefty price tags and this beauty is comparable (my opinion).

The only con I have is removing it can be annoying. But a little patience goes along way.

This mascara has done wonders for my lashes! I'm a fan of maybelline mascaras, the colossal was my number 1 for about a year but since getting the lash sensational I haven't touched any of my other mascaras! I've always struggled to find a mascara that can hold a curl, but if I curl my lashes before using this one, it holds the curl so well!

I got sucked into the hype attached to this mascara, but I am only just starting to warm to it. If you don't wipe off some of the mascara from the wand it can be very clumpy and appear almost spidery once applied. It can also be really difficult to remove.

Tried using before/after and with/out false lashes, works really well looks pretty on the lashes. The water proof type does not run and is a little bit hard to get off with makeup wipes and liquid remover.
