Lash Sensational - Maybelline

      Maybelline is known for their mascara. From Lash Discovery (which I absolutely swear by for my lower lashes) to Great Lash,Volum' Express, Falsies & everything in between everyone knows Maybelline for mascara. Taking my history with Maybelline and the fact that I have enjoyed many of their mascaras in the past and also currently have a few in my collection, so when I saw Maybelline's
Lash Sensational at my local Walgreen's I picked it up.

Lash Sensational Brush

No Mascara


Well mistakes were made, first of all I accidentally grabbed regular formula instead of waterproof. Not really that big of a deal, since I don't actually waterproof a lot. Then secondly I bought the mascara in brown. I'm a brunette so not the end of the world, oh well. Try something different is what I told myself. 

    Then things went from oh well, mistakes happen, to what a waste of money and this is where I start hating this product and calling it a fail. Now, I will say I do like the brush a bit. It seperates my lashes well, even my wispy bottom lashes if I use the brush just right. However, when I opened the mascara the next day and notice right off the watery formula. When I say watery, I really mean it. I put it on, just one coat, and wait a second, I blink and bam, it's all over. (I should have taken a picture, but it made me mad, so I forgot.) :/

      I have mascara not only on my lashes where I want it to be, but under my eye, on my eye makeup...so watery that it looks like I did a really shaky eye liner application and forgot some spots. I took a tissue and tried to minimize the damage, the product under my eye actually came off like it was never there with a simple swipe of the tissue. The product on my eye was another story, due to eye shadow and primer being on the lid of my eye as well. Needless to say, I was pissed. Naturally, I then had to remove my eye makeup and start over. So upon second application I wait...wait and wait some more even blowing at my eye and other sillyness to dry the mascara, lets just say it takes a good minute and a steady hand to apply this formula. I manage to put it on without it going everywhere and blink without the same issue. I have tried wearing the product over a month or so now and have the same issues with the watery formula every time. That is what makes this a FAIL product as far as I am concerned. Not only does it not live up to it's claims, but it is a huge hassle just to apply this formula.

After 2 Coats - FAIL

      After all the fussing with this product I look at myself and notice, that it doesn't do much for me. I don't have the best lashes ever, they are thin and sparse. My husband has better lashes then I could ever hope to have. Therefore, when I wear mascara, I want it to show up and make what I do have look amazing. This mascara just is not that, in every way. Upon drying the lashes look spidery and sometimes even clumpy. Just, so not impressed. I guess with Maybelline, I expect better. At $9 I want better. I noticed no increased volume and no real "fanning effect" that this product claims to provide. Nor, will I be purchasing again in the future.
