Review: Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara

I purchased this product on Monday as I had ran out of my usual mascara, so I decided to trial a new one - Maybelline Lash Sensational.

After a quick browse of the 7 variations of this mascara in Superdrug, I decided to buy their standard Lash Sensational mascara in shade intense black.

When you open the mascara, the brush is a curved shape with thin bristles alternating in length. The bristles are spaced quite closely together to avoid lashes clustering together in big clumps.

When I first applied the mascara it went on very evenly, not leaving behind any lashes with no product. With just one brush of mascara my lashes instantly seemed much longer than before. But because I do like quite volumised as well as long lashes I went over them a few more times with the brush to create the look I wanted.

On the Maybelline website it says: "Inner bristles capture the tiniest lashes you didn't even know you had whilst outer bristles volumise & define the look of longer lashes." And after using the inner then outer bristles I have to confirm that it did have a volumising effect on my lashes after using each in turn.

After mascara

As you can see, after just a thin coating of mascara my lashes look visibly fuller and much longer. I've worn the mascara for 8 hours straight so far and they look nearly just as fresh then as they did when I first applied the product - leaving no smudges on my eyelids either! The only thing I can fault about the product is that when it comes to removing it, it can take a while to come off properly so it may take more than just a make up wipe to remove fully.

I'm usually very picky with my mascaras, but overall I'm very impressed with the results of this Maybelline product and will definitely be adding it to my make-up bag!
