Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara - Washable

I am blown away. Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara has toppled by holy grail 'Hourglass Caution' mascara. I did not think it could be done.

First things first - the packaging is pretty. I love the rose gold and pink. The wand is longer and slimmer than I'm used to, but I love the way it only picks up as much product as is needed.

With a couple of swipes my lashes are long and LIFTED. Seriously, they look fake. My husband came in after I'd applied it and did a double take and commented on how great they looked. Smudging? No. Panda eyes? No. Washed off easily and didn't leave me looking like I had a black eye the next morning? Indeed it did.

To test my inkling that it was better than my Hourglass Caution, I did a side-by-side, and the Maybelline mascara won by a country mile. My lashes were more lifted, beautifully separated and loooooong.

This drugstore mascara is the best thing to happen to me in 2021. Will repurchase over and over again. Thanks BR!!

I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial this new mascara by Maybelline. I am a big fan of tubing mascaras, so I was interested in seeing how this would wear. This review is for the washable mascara.

The Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara was sent to me packaged in a blister packet. It is labelled as “blackest black” and on the packet it promises to provide “limitless length” and “full volume.” On the back it says that it has been allergy tested, and that it does not flake, smudge or clump. It is Maybelline’s “first mascara made for full volume and authentic length. Custom flex brush grips and extends every lash.”

The mascara itself comes in a thick pink metallic plastic tube which matches the branding of their regular Lash Sensational mascara, and Lash Sensational serum. The wand is long, with short rubber bristles. When it comes to my lashes and mascara, I like a mascara that makes my lashes look long and defined, rather than thick and clumpy. The great thing is that this mascara does exactly that. Although the bristles on the wand are short, I found that it makes it easier to work the wand onto the lashes and to be more precise with the application. After one coat my eyelashes are separated, defined, and fully coated right to their tips, so they look as long as they actually are (my lashes are white on the ends).

The mascara performs well. It does not smudge after application. Although it is washable, it does not run when my eyes water in bright sunlight. But it does wash off easily at the end of the day with just an ordinary cleanser, rather than needing a makeup remover. One coat is enough to define my lashes, but you can apply more coats if you need to.

Altogether this is one of the best mascaras that I have ever had the fortune to use. If you love long, defined lashes, and mascara that stays put all day, then this is the mascara for you.

Very attractive packaging, I love the rose colour that they’ve gone with, however with all the embossed writing on the side it does make it rather bulky, so if you’re after a slimline mascara to fit into your portable make-up bag, this might make you think twice.

After the current mascara I’ve been using recently, I was surprised at the length and slimness of the wand, however it proved good at applying the product and separation of lashes. Two coats did me and I was really happy with the results and the thickening effect it gave. It lasted all day with no flaking or clumping, and easy to remove in the evening since I opted for the non-waterproof version.

Would I recommend and purchase? Yes, yes I would

Was really excited to try out this mascara and have been using this for the past few days now and I must say.... this is wow. Formula has a nice consistency and it is really dark. The bristles are short which is something that I prefer as it is a lot easier for me to get to the roots of the lashes and it grabs on really well. Loved the length it gave my lashes which opened up my eyes and made them look larger. This mascara did not smudge on me and I used it on my upper and lower lashes. Impressed that it actually lasted really well all day and kept the length with no fall outs. Removing this was really easy, I was able to get this out with my regular foaming face wash without any hard rubbing.

Great packaging, mess free application and easy to clean off. Will highly recommend this to everyone who wants great sky high lengths for their lashes. Thank you BR for introducing me to maybelline lash sensational sky high mascara. Found a new favorite mascara.

Great consistency mascara, great black colour with a fantastic applicator tip. Tip is very fine so really helpful to apply to the outer eyelashes and the bottom eyelashes. Mascara gave fantastic coverage in one sweep and was easy to build. I didn't get as much curl as I normally would love, but for the price and ease of use I would buy in the future and use for sure!

Can I just start by saying how excited I was to be part of this trial. I was really looking forward to trying this mascara as I had heard great things about and boy did it live up to my expectations!

The tube is a really cute pink with a sleek"high end" design. It looks luxurious and feels great even when you are just holding it in your hands.

The want is slightly slanted with lots of tiny little bristles. It also has a bit of flexibility.

The design of the wand allows you to coat even the tiniest of baby lashes, giving you fuller longer lashes. You can go in with more than one coat without ending up looking like danny long legs is sitting on your eyes!

It wears really well, there was no flaking and washes off quite easily.

It's safe to say that I do love this mascara and it compares well to other high end brands. This is my new favorite.

I have only had four days to review this mascara as arrived a little late but have been putting it on every day so I can judge it fairly, I really like the pink packaging, it is quite eye catching. This mascara doesn't smudge and goes on very easily. Lashes don't clump or stick together so your lashes look quite natural. Sometimes its hard to put mascara on your bottom lashes but this was very easy. The brush is great. This for me is a day time mascara and although it makes your lashes lovely and long, there is no volume. I have been rubbing my eyes and my mascara hasn't smudged. I would use again but not for the dramatic eye effect.

I have been looking for a mascara that offers length and volume and this provides both. Very easy to apply with a nice long skinny brush so easy to apply on bottom lashes too. I found this was very nourishing and not drying on my lashes either! It lasted all day without smudging or looking like panda eyes. I found it similar to the mascara Blinc but a quarter of the price and this has more volume! Very happy with this product! I will be purchasing this mascara when I run out of this!

Was a little skeptical before using but it was great! No smudging or flaking at all. Helps create volume and length like it says. The fibres help coat the lashes so keeps them looking nicer and not clumpy, can also put more on to get more volume too. It is easy to get off and no stinging with sensitive eyes. Doesn't smell weird like some mascaras can haha. It was great because it is lightweight but gives the full look. Will definitely keep using it and recommend to others

I was really keen to test this mascara as I am currently using Maybelline Falsies & I wanted to see how they compare. First off; I loved the packaging as I think it looks more upmarket than some of the others. The wand looked a little disappointing as it is quite narrow & not robust looking so I was sceptical as to how well it would work. However, looks are deceiving as it did work very well. It really coated the lashes & as the brush is thin it means you can get right to the corner lashes without getting mascara everywhere. It describes a ‘flex tower brush’ which initially I couldn’t see what that meant. The flex part is that it bends where the brush joins the wand. You have to press quite hard on your lashes to get it to bend & to be honest I got just as much coverage without having to flex the brush that much. I did like that you could keep building up the length & volume without it clogging. I also wanted to see if you could reapply later in the day without it clumping as I reapply to freshen up before going out & don’t always want to take all my make-up off (who has time for that!) Well, it worked fine & better than Falsies. I chose washable as I often find waterproof mascara too hard to remove. This washed off easily with my facial wash/makeup remover. The flip side with washable mascara’s is that sometimes they are not as long lasting. Sky High was fine. I did get a little bit of shedding towards the end of the day but nothing too hideous but for a more positive review would prefer no flaking. I liked the Blackest Black colour too. Would I use it again? – Yes, it compares favourably to Falsies so would buy this over that & some of the others I have tried in the Maybelline range. Have I found the perfect mascara? – I will still continue the search but happy to use this in the meantime.
