    Stinks

    9 months ago
    I purchased a mascara, and it's not like mold. Called Maybelline and they sent me a coupon, and requested I send them the mascara that stunk. I did send them the mascara, and use the coupon to partially pay for a new mascara. This mascara smells worse than the last one. Not going to buy Maybelline anymore, as mascara should never have a smell. As I write this review, my eyelashes stink and I have concerns about how it will affect my eyes. I want my $12.99 back, and I'm just tired of something as simple as buying mascara has turned into an ordeal for me. I've been a Maybelline customer for decades, and I'm highly highly disappointed.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Does not budge!!

    a year ago
    I absolutely adore this mascara!!! I got it a couple years ago for Christmas and I have not used another mascara since! I wear it to the beach all the time and it lasts all day even going in the water (it does smudge a bit but u can just rub it off with your finger) Last week omw to work I had a road accident, and cried for about 15 mins while driving. I was scared id look a mess, but to my surprise, my mascara hadn't smudged at all!! The only thing I'd say is that you need to find a good, consistent way of removing it as it can be a bit tricky. Highly recommend this mascara <33

    This is the only mascara I will ever use. I’ve tried others and always come back to this. It holds a curl and never smudges. I can wear it 12+ hours at a horse show and it still looks great. Please don’t ever discontinue this or I will be lost.

    Hi there! We do apologize that Lash Sensational caused smudging. This is never a result we want for one of our consumers. We would like to suggest our Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara, https://tinyurl.com/238cryg7. A waterproof mascara formula infused with bamboo extract and fibers for long, full & lightweight lashes, that don't flake or smudge. We hope you find this information helpful and you find your perfect product!

    This mascara genuinely is my holy grail, i love it so much- paired with sky high is absolutely gorgeous, and the mascara lasts so long on your lashes. I wore this on a 7 hour flight and it DID NOT SMUDGE. love love love this mascara sorry, already made a review but wanted to add that i got this mascara in France in the summer for so so so cheap and it is only running a bit low now after a good hundred uses or something. I genuinely don't know what I'd do without this mascara as someone with very short lashes who is very insecure without mascara because it literally makes me look like i have lash extensions on !

    Mascara is my favorite product in my makeup kit! The results of this mascara are incredible. Goes on super easy, fans eyelashes out evenly and balanced and adds the perfect amount of thicknesses. Brush has two different sides that you can use to apply and that gives you free range to play around with what look works best for you! Glad I took the chance on trying a new mascara.

    Definitely A New Favorite!

    6 years ago
    This mascara has a wand that has different lengths and curled, making it super easy to get to the root of the lash and get a good base, with the long bristles it makes it easy to separate each lash, making my lashes look super fanned out and curled. I'm so amazed with the product I bought two backups immediately. This isn't really a voluminous mascara, so I put on two coats of primer before I use this, but after two coats of this, I'm good. Makes my lashes look super awesome! I don't mind the clumpy formula, the clumps do flake off! It is really quick to dry, so I try to layer it up fast. The only reason why it isn't four stars is because of that. But I love it after a month in of using it!

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    This mascara is amazing. I have had a really tough week and my dad brought me this mascara yesterday. I tried it on today just to see how it would apply on my lashes, and it was beautiful. A few hours later I had a bit of a nervous break down and that can get pretty messy. Well to my surprise, there was only one tiny smudge. This mascara has withstand my ugly crying. Definitely going to buy again!!!

    Clumpy, Impossible to Remove, and Harsh on Eyelash

    7 years ago
    I got this mascara recently because it had good reviews on google. After using it I was really disappointed for a few reasons. I am lucky to have naturally long lashes, so mascara definitely adds a lot of “wow” to my look. This mascara, however, makes me look like a clown. The formula clumps 5-8 lashes together to give me a spidery eye look. Even using my fingers I can’t separate them! Even worse, it doesn’t come off at all. So I accepted this and gave it a fair shot by trying it a few times. Just today in the shower a big clump of lashes came out. Maybe this product works well for some people, but it just doesn’t work for me. I need something that will coat each lash individually rather than clump them together to give the illusion of volume. The picture is DAY 3 of unsuccessfully removing the mascara.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    • Day 3 of unsuccessful removal - imagine how spidery day 1 was!

    Formula change? Impossible to remove even with oil

    7 years ago
    I absolutely love the Lash Sensational Mascara that is NOT waterproof, it gives me both length, volume, and curl. My eyes are very small so false lashes are not an option, ya girl has to work with what she has. This formula is ok, it is FOR SURE waterproof. Like if you want to swim with mascara, by all means choose this. It doesn't separate my lashes as well as the non-waterproof version. I feel like even with oil my lashes fall out because I am scrubbing them so hard to get this off, but it ultimately ends up under my eyes.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Hello there ! Thank you for reaching out about our Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara! This fresh liquid formula captures lashes from root to tip for a full-fan effect. To avoid clumping we suggest to Sweep from the root to tip of lashes and do not let mascara dry in between coats. We hope this application tip is helpful and that you can give this mascara another try!

    Too clumpy :/

    7 years ago
    I am a huge fan of Maybelline and their products, specifically their mascara, but unfortunately I do not recommend this mascara at all. It is very clumpy even with the serum, and it leaves a gooey residue on the lashes even after makeup remover and showers. This product tends to clump the lashes into one big group and it transfers very easily :( although the color is very pigmented and more long lasting than other, the cons outweigh the pros for me.

    No, I do not recommend this product.
