Let’s talk
about mascara shall we? Recently, I have been trying to go through my stash of
mascaras and I thought it was about time I gave the Maybelline Lash Sensational
Mascara a go. My love for Maybelline mascaras is well documented on here so let’s
see if this one can hold up to the others.
This latest
offering from the brand promises a “full fan effect” with the help of 10 layers
of bristle on a curved wand. The wand follows the contour of the eyes really
well and the longer bristles at the end do give your lashes a more fanned out
effect. In the length and volume department, you get a decent amount of both,
but this mascara focuses more on defining and curling your lashes. The wand
allows you to get between your lashes and separate them, making your eyes look
more open. The overall effect is quite impressive, especially for such and
affordable product.
The formula
itself is great too, the color is very intense and it does not smudge or flake
off. I did not purchase the waterproof version but once it dries, the mascara
really sets and holds the curl. The Lash Sensational is one of the best
mascaras I have tried for holding a curl, my lashes were in fact still
perfectly curled at the end of the day. However all these amazing results come
at a price, I find it very hard to remove. To me this is a big drawback because
I removing my eye makeup is my least favorite part of my skincare routine. Even
with a cleansing oil, I need to scrub quite a bit and still found some residue
and smudges afterwards. This does not
stop the mascara from being amazing but it is important to consider when using
it. If you know you’ll be coming home late you might when to use something else
because it will be hard to remove and no one wants to mess around with makeup
remover when they are tired.
You can
find the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara on their website and on Feelunique
as well as in most drugstores.
