Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara - Waterproof

I got picked to review this mascara, i was pretty happy, but also a bit skeptical. I haven't been able to wear mascara for awhile now, i have some eye issues that make them water alot, several times a day.. so wearing something that isn't fully waterproof ends up all over my face! I have used a few in the past that just couldn't hack it. Things i loved about it: I love the flex the wand has, made it a lot easier to use! I loved the way it looked! i went from not much eye lash to wow where did they come from! they were thick and long, i loved it! the first few days i tested it were very watery eye days, and this stuff stayed so well! there was no smudging, running or wipe marks. it actually took a few goes over to remove, i even wore it in the shower and it didn't budge (although i think with a vigorous face wash it would have come off) now to the things i didn't like, there was only one.. it was a little too clumpy, i did have to brush it out a bit, but that wasn't a super big deal. I would definitely buy this again

I love mascara and very rarely purchase the same one time after time - its just such an easy product to keep trying new ones!

I love the wand on this - it catches every lash and zigzags through them with ease. The product formula is the perfect consistency - not too thick, not too watery.

It adds length and volume and I think you an build coats without heading into spider lash territory,

You'll need a good oil based cleanser to get this off without scrubbing - it's long wear fo' sure!

I do recommend giving this a try, its a great longwear, everyday mascara...and who doesn't need one of those?!

Firstly - the packaging is just lovely, a cute addition to the makeup bag.

The wand is pretty neat, its flexible but still quite sturdy so it doesn't bend when putting it in the tube.

I use 2 coats to get the look I like, which is full lashes, but not MLM mascara lashes (YOU know the brand I mean right!).

I use my usual eye makeup remover pads to take it off, and it does take a bit of rubbing, but eventually comes off clean.

I'd use this again and recommend it to my friends and fam-bam.

I love the funky tube, it's not too young, but has a cool vibe - I'd gravitate towards it in store.

The wand is another level. Different than anything I've used before - it sort of winds around your lashes, coating them all.

Full points for lastability - it's not gong to run or come off unless you want it too.

It also really wins on adding length to lashes, so if you have stumpy lashes this is a great mascara for you!

I first used this mascara when I borrowed my daughters. I couldn't believe how much better it was than the mascara I was using at the time. I ended up buying my own and I haven't used any other brand since.

It lasts all day and often will still be on the next day if I haven't washed my face. It is fully waterproof and cryproof.

It really made my eyelashes sky high and looked great. The only negative thing I will say is that it is a bit clumpy.

I'm always on the lookout for new mascaras that are waterproof and lengthening. The description for this macara and the packaging both appealed to me so I was very excited to get on this trial team! The brush comes with short plastic/silicone bristles, which I don't really like because I prefer longer bristles that make it easier to separate each individual eyelash and coat them fully. And just as I expected, it clumped up slightly when I tried to apply using the brush. In the end I had to use a clean spoolie to brush out my lashes after each coat of mascara which was a bit inconvenient. It definitely helped define my lashes more and gave more volume, but I had to recurl my lashes (which are normally stick straight) after applying 2 coats. The product inside the tube does feel quite liquidy right now since it's new and from past experience old mascara that's had time to become 'thicker' seems to hold up my lashes better. It survived my errand day well and I wore it for a good full day plus a workout with minimal undereye smudging. Granted, towards the end of the day it was basically gone and my eyelashes had flopped but miraculously there was no black smudges. Removal with a biphase eye makeup remover was relatively effortless and after I washed my face with cleanser it was all gone,

Overall I'd recommend this for it's 0 flakiness and 0 smudging, and it would be good if you naturally have curly lashes that just need a bit of extra oomph. But not quite holy grail for people with flat and droopy lashes, also it's got a little bit of clumping which isn't a huge deal breaker.

If you read the description on this product it is extremely accurate. The length this product creates is nuts. Other mascaras I have used that have created this length tend to flake during the day. This product does not do that. I was very impressed by this. Only negative with this is that when you remove your makeup it takes a lot to get rid of all the black mascara flakes. I did find it took several layers to get the fullness and length I like.

I would say the only thing that this mascara doesn't do is add volume. It is better at creating length.

I found this mascara easy to use, the bristles nicely picked up each lash which gave great definition and also little clumping. I found it easy to apply more layers to give greater volume and length without my lashes feeling stiff. By the end of the day, there was no smearing or smudging- a total winner! I'm really pleased with this mascara.

I've been using Maybelline's Lash Sensational Sky High mascara for roughly 10 days now. It has a lot going for it. I'll discuss all those plusses first.

One of the first things that caught my eye was the packaging. It's encased in a pinky-purple metallic-coloured tube, which looks gorgeous. It is very easy to hold and grip, and it has a 'flex tower brush', making it a dream to apply. There is no overwhelming fragrance to this mascara either. Another plus.

Its formula contains bamboo extract and fibres, which Maybelline claims will help to give your lashes an authentic look. I 100% agree with that claim! It does provide an authentic look - your lashes won’t end up looking fake or that you are trying too hard. The consistency of this mascara is excellent - it isn't thick and it doesn't clump. Yay! Often waterproof mascaras can be too thick in consistency. Not so with this one.

And, after wearing it for most of the day, I can honestly say it doesn't budge - it does not even start smudging or collecting around the under-eye area. No ‘panda eyes’ here! Another positive.

So, if I love this mascara so much, why don't I give it FIVE kisses? Well, that is for one reason and one reason only. The 'Sky High' claim. After all, it forms part of the name of this product, so it's definitely part of what it claims it can achieve. I put the Sky High claim to the test, by putting on different brands of mascara (after cleansing this one off!), to actually compare it to others on that one point. And, interestingly, even some of the mascaras that don't say anything about super high or extra-long lashes can actually make my lashes look longer and/or higher than this one. So, if you are purchasing this product purely for that one reason, I'd possibly think again . . . because it may disappoint you in that one area. I did apply two or three coats of it to see if that helped, but it only made a slight difference to its intensity, height and length.

Personally, I don't even care about having super high lashes, so I wasn't disappointed. It delivers in the areas I need it to deliver in. But I feel I need to point this out to anyone purchasing this product for that sole reason.

So, to wind this review up, this mascara doesn't quite achieve a 'Sky High' look - in my experience. But neither does it clump, smudge, look unnatural, smell horrible, feel awkward to use, or provide any other negative experience! So I'd recommend it to others for all those other positive reasons, and I would buy again. Four kisses.

I heard a lot about this mascara and how amazing it is, I'm not sure if it's because I chose to review the waterproof mascara or not but I wasn't super impressed to be honest. The brush is really nice and I was super excited to try it but I found it clumpy (especially for a new mascara) and it was extremely hard to remove. I used an oil based cleanser to remove it, and I triple cleansed but found there to still be product on my lashes after. I will only ever use if I'm going to the beach and need something that stays on. The plus is that my eyelashes did look beautiful and it didn't have any powdery residue under my eyes like some mascaras have.
