Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara Review

I used this mascara for a while - it initially did all it said it will do, but after a while it became flakey and caused panda eyes. I used some contact lens solution to make the mascara more moist in an attempt to combat the flakeyness but it was an unsuccessful attempt. Maybelline usually makes great, affordable mascaras so I will definitely be on the lookout for another mascara in their brand.

I think this came out quite recently, I remember seeing a poster of it and thinking, 'this looks promising!' So the adventurer in me decided to try it out even though I already have a couple staple mascaras.

The formula of this is very thin. It's almost liquid as opposed to the thicker gel like texture I'm used to. The only bad thing about this is that my lashes instantly lose their curl when I wear this. With thicker mascaras like One by One, my lashes can stay curled despite the mascara. This somehow makes my lashes flop back down again. And because I wear glasses, they end up sweeping all over my glasses like a mini black paint brush.

The applicator brush is a nice shape, with one side with short bristles and one side with longer bristles. The brush is a plastic one, and slightly curved to fit the shape of the eyelid. I really like the smaller side because it helps get into the base of my lashes and also my bottom lashes.

This isn't the best at staying. On days where I'm sweating a lot it'll start to smudge after a while. But for a day indoors with no major movement this is great.

Overall I think this is most suited to daytime use, when you don't want to have thick falsie like lashes. This gives a very natural look with slight volume. The only thing to beware of is it'll straighten out your lashes if they're curled.

I have bought this mascara twice and the first time I loved it and it gave my eyelashes heaps of curl and volume. However the second time I have purchased it it has made my lashes really clumpy and and does not spread them out at all. Im not sure if it was just a bad batch or my eyelashes. I would recommend to friends though because it could just be my mascara I purchased or my eyelashes!

I really wasn't a fan of this mascara when I first started using it, it was sooo wet and the brush really just isn't my cup of tea, it's curved and plastic with pretty sparse bristles so this combo would leave my lashes all stuck together and the end result made me look like I had 5 lashes per eye.

I then tried it with a different mascara brush and much preferred the result. It provides a good bit of volume and length without pesky clumps that can come with drier formulas. At this point I think how well a mascara works for you is just as much to do with the brush as it is the formula.

I love this mascara because even though I got the non-waterproof version it doesn't transfer/flake etc. It is a bit of a struggle to get off, so it may as well be waterproof, haha. It doesn't hold a curl very well on its own but I use my Estee Lauder mascara primer underneath mascaras for curl 99% of the time anyway.

The pink packaging is super cute and I will repurchase if it's on sale, as it's not a mascara I need, but it is good.

I purchased this mascara after hearing great things. My Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara had arrived and I was disappointed, so I needed something that I could get my hands on quickly, without spending too much money. Maybelline is perfect - it is affordable and available at the supermarket.

The packaging is a standard Maybelline size and shape, but more classier and feminine than their past mascaras. It is solid and easy to hold. The brush is unlike any other mascara brushes I have used or seen - it is quite small, thin and plastic. The bristles are short and spiky, not 'fluffy' like most other Maybelline mascaras. You can see the bristles very clearly, they don't have mascara clumped on them.

This mascara performs.. well. Good, but not great. I like it, but don't love it. It separates and lengthens my lashes and there is zero clumping or fall out. It is a deep black and lasts all day. It is easy to apply and can be built up. However there is no wow factor for me, I wasn't amazed at my lashes, but they certainly looked nice.

I probably won't repurchase this mascara, simply because I would like to keep searching for my holy grail, however this is likely to be more a case of personal preferences and individual needs.

This is a alright mascara for me. I have really short lashes that go downward so mascara doesn't do much for me at all. Although this mascara did lengthen my lashes it didn't really hold the curl. However this was probably my eyelashes and it should work better if you have longer lashes naturally.

I'd heard a lot of good things about this mascara from various YouTubers around the world - and to be honest at first I really didn't like it. I found it quite clumpy and messy to apply.

I put it aside for a while, and went back to my trust Benefit Roller Lash (which I love). Recently I decided to go back to the Maybelline Lash Sensational and I have to say - for some reason my opinion has changed and I quite like it! I find that if I curl my lashes first, the mascara looks really nice and my lashes look super long! (Note that I do have naturally long looking lashes). I don't think the curl holds that great, but I don't mind toooo much,

One thing I've noticed is that it's quite flakey to remove. I use baby oil to remove my eye makeup (cheap and super effective!!) and I often end up with black flakes around my eyes. Not 100% sure why!

I really love this mascara, it comes in a pink rube with a plastic wand similar to the benefit “they’re real” wand, on one side it has a smaller wand and the other a larger. The mascara is dark deep black and thick! I have a lot of lashes but they're not long and I love how this sits on my eyes!

I haven't had the best luck with trying out maybelline mascaras before, but the packaging of this one made me want to try it so bad! I love the light pink colour with the black. I love the wand on this one too, its not too big and not too small. I found this product made my lashes look so much better and didn't clump them up. It gave my lashes great length and I didn't notice much fall out when wearing this, I didn't seem to get panda eyes after wearing it for most of the day.
