Maybelline Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara Review, Price, Pics

By Sanchita

INTRODUCTION

On a daily basis when you can’t afford to spent time applying falsies, my go-to solution for dramatic eyelashes is a good voluminizing mascara. Given the fact that mascaras have be disposed of within 5-6mnths, I can’t always spent on high end brands and stick to the usual drugstore ones – like, Maybelline. For years I have been using the Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express Mascara and was quite happy with the results. The recent launch of Maybelline includes the Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara which I am going to review in this post.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara. This fresh liquid formula captures lashes from root to tip for a full-fan effect.

• Exclusive fanning brush with ten layers of bristles reveals layers of lashes for a sensational full-fan effect.

MY REVIEW

The packaging of the Maybelline Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara is pretty much similar to the Hypercurl and Falsies one. It comes in a rose gold opaque tube with the fattened centre. The mascara has the screw lock system where the applicator brush is attached to the cap. The applicator wand has its own uniqueness and gives this effect ‘fan’ affect to the lashes. The base is slightly curved and help to curl the lashes faintly while applying the mascara. There is a ten layers of bristles with short lengths which prevent clumping of lashes. Thus, the wand coats and comb the lashes while applying and surely one of the best mascara brushes I have used so far.

Also, it won’t smear and smudge the skin at all and I can easily apply the mascara on the lower lashes as well. Overall, the brush adds a different charm to the mascara.

Coming to the version, the mascara is available in two variants – waterproof and washable. I picked up the waterproof variant as I want my mascara to last all day long. And surely it does. It stays intact even after the whole day of toiling around and wont smudge, smear or irritate the eyes at all. It is ophthalmologically tested and is also suitable for contact lens wearers. I was relieved to see the price tag as they kept it at par with Falsies. If I compare the Falsies Volum’ Express and the Lash Sensational one, I would say the difference is very negligible. Falsies excels in quality of the product while Lash Sensational’s USP is the brush. Otherwise, both are surely at par with each other.

Coming to the effect of the mascara, the Lash Sensational mascara adds ton of volume to my lashes, as you can see the ‘Before’ and ‘After’ swatches. But, the volume in person is much more and fuller looking but somehow my camera failed to capture it. The formula of the mascara is medium but after 3-4 months I realized that the consistency is thickening. This is a problem I face with all my Maybelline mascaras. The volume is definitely stunning and when you apply the mascara from the root of the lashes, in a zig-zag way, towards the end, it simply looks dramatic.

However, if you go on adding layers, the mascara is going to clump. I didn’t face this clumping issues in the first 2 months of using but as it dries up and thickness, it has the tendency to clump.

I like the fact that the waterproof variant stays all day long and no matter how much you rub your eyes, the mascara won’t budge at all. However, removing the mascara from the eyes is one tough task altogether. So far, only olive oil could remove the last trace of mascara from the eyes when you soak it in a cotton pad for a minute or so. With regular usage, the mascara finishes up with 4 months or so.

5. Good formula.

6. Adds dramatic volume.

7. Doesn’t flake off and hold the curl well.

9. Affordable.

WHAT I DISLIKED

1. It has the tendency to dry up within 3 months of usage.

2. Tendency to clump once thickens.

3. Waterproof variants is very difficult to remove.

RATING – 4.5/5

OVERALL – The Maybelline Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara is a wonderful volume boost mascara that has the unique ‘fan bristles’ wand which lengthens, coats and separates the lashes with application. it adds decent drama to the lashes, stays all day long and surely one of the best and affordable voluminizing mascara I have used after Maybelline The Falsies Volum’ Express. I would surely recommend this and would repurchase soon.

Editor’s Note: This one sounds really good. I didn’t like the Magnum Barbie one as the results were not that good plus removing it was almost impossible. Will try this
