Guys, I think this might be it! My holy grail search for a mascara has ended!
This mascara has done everything for me and beyond, and I am not exaggerating at all. I always evaluate mascara to a very strict set of criteria
- does it hold curl?
- is it ACTUALLY waterproof?
- does it separate lashes and not make them clump looking?
- does it add length and volume equally?
Maybelline Lash Sensational did all of the above - it seems like the perfect combination of the mascaras that I love but aren't 100%. Think CG clump crusher but with curl, L'Oreal Million lashes with non-flakiness, and most importantly the fail-proof Maybelline waterproof formula!
Okay so lets get into why this is mascara is so good! The brush is curved with rubber (not bristley) bristles which makes each lash evenly coated and defined. The tapered shape allows for amazing coverage for the outer lashes as well.
But wait! One side of the brush also has these shorter length bristles which are the perfect length for lower lashes so you don't stab your eye - what is this magic?!
Okay next is the formula - true to the amazing waterproof mascaras that maybelline produces this is no different. The formula is actually waterproof (so great for contact lens wearers), holds a curl. doesn't make your lashes crispy looking and most importantly doesn't clump!
I love this mascara so much, I can't believe I waited this long to try it out!
This mascara has been so hyped up on YouTube and social media, so being the makeup addict that I am I had to see what the fuss was about!
The brush on this mascara is very unique. It has plastic bristles, as opposed to the 'hairs' that some mascara brushes have. This means that the mascara doesn't seem to clump on the brush, always a winner (although I think a fluffier brush gives fluffier lashes). The brush delivers mega volume and curl in only a couple of swipes with very little need to pfaff around- perfect for rushed mornings.
I have naturally reasonably long lashes but love a mascara which gives me the volume I need, curl that will last all day, and the ability to stay on my lashes and not end up all over my eyelid/undereye area. I picked this up in the waterproof version (a must for oily lids) and boy did it deliver on all accounts. My lashes looked almost as good at the end of the day as they did when my mascara was freshly applied. No flaking, no fallout, but yet this was still a bit easier to remove than They're real- usually the only mascara which will last all day on me.
I am so impressed with this mascara, I really do believe this lives up to the hype! Will be recommending this to others absolutely!
