Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Brown Mascara 7.2ml

This mascara was kind of a weird one for me. I love and hate it at the same time. I normally use the Milk Makeup kush mascara and have loved it since they launched it. The formula, yes, but specifically the brush. Upon trying this the first time, the appearance of my lashes was gorgeous- and the brown tone to the mascara itself really complimented my blue eyes with my fair complexion versus black, which can look too harsh on lighter makeup days. My lashes were long, lifted, thick and separated. They looked amazing. However, on my next try, they clumped together and it looked like I had maybe 5 spiky eyelashes sticking out of each eye. Almost like I had deliberately clumped them, like some people do on the lower lash line. I feel like, especially for the price, that ... MoreThis mascara was kind of a weird one for me.

Almost like I had deliberately clumped them, like some people do on the lower lash line. I feel like, especially for the price, that there are a few better mascaras that will consistently have the original effect, and a lot that will have the second effect. However- this stuff stays ON. Like all day. There’s no flaking when it’s on or smudging of any kind. Once it’s on? It’s on. But also doesn’t seem to require any kind of harsh scrubbing at the end of the day to get it off, so I definitely wouldn’t call it water resistant by any means. Overall, decent mascara. And there are few better but a lot worse for the same price point.

This mascara tested beautifully for it’s claim of ‘sky high’ lashes. Product lengthens like a dream. Formula is a nice consistency…not dry but not overly wet. I typically have very sensitive eyes, but this did not cause any irritation at all. I’m not a fan of excessive coats, so 1-2 coats was very comfortable all day; felt like I was wearing nothing on my lashes. I was sent shade ‘True Brown’, which gave a lovely natural tone. The only complaint I have is the wand itself. The brush portion is very flexible to the point where I felt that it was awkward to use. It also does not do anything towards volumizing the lashes. My lashes are fairly long on their own; I usually enjoy something that gives more density to the overall lash line, and this just wasn’t giving that ... MoreThis mascara tested beautifully for it’s claim of ‘sky high’ lashes.

Best Mascara in my Recent Trials

Now to preface this review, I'm not a die-hard fangirl of any particular mascara over the years; they all have their pros and cons, from drugstore to prestige. I will say I had most recently used Maybelline Lash Sensational and actually repurchased it. Alas, I was again on the mascara hunt and had seen good reviews about the newest formulation: Sky High.I went ahead and purchased the Cosmic Black, even though my research did not quite lead me to an answer about the differences in the black shade range. Upon first use, I can tell it doesn't have the volumizing properties of some mascaras, but that's alright by me and my "too much" gene that leads to clumpy disasters. It layers quite nicely and adds subtle, but acceptable length. Upon removal in the shower, it tends ... MoreNow to preface this review, I'm not a die-hard fangirl of any particular mascara over the years; they all have their pros and cons, from drugstore to prestige.

Does make your lashes long

I'm not really sure what I think about this mascara. I had a sample of it about 6 months ago and I loved it so much. The full size is not as great for some reason maybe because it isn't as dry or there is way less product? Pros: It does indeed make your lashes sky high. And they seem to stay that way for the majority of the day. There is no fallout from this mascara on me and I take naps in it sometimes. I love the long flexible wand. Cons: The consistency makes my lashes stick together like spider legs. Now I know this can depend on how warm your area is where you keep your mascara, but for some reason this stuff makes my lashes so clumpy with one or two swipes. I have to go back in with a lash comb and even then it's kind of a mess. I actually feel like this ... MoreI'm not really sure what I think about this mascara.

I have to go back in with a lash comb and even then it's kind of a mess. I actually feel like this product will be better when it dries out a little. I see some people mentioning using makeup wipes and how they do not remove this. I personally use an oil remover and then go back in with a cleanser. Even then you might need a soft cloth to remove the excess product. So yeah it does have staying power and can a little more effort to remove, but nothing terrible. Having said all of this, I probably will not repurchase when there are other mascaras in this price point that are better for me.

God awful.

I don’t know what went wrong with me, maybe a bad tube maybe it’s because I layered with other mascara product, I tried twice and it’s god awful. It clumps and my god it doesn’t build AT ALL. It starts removing a layer from before and my lashes are without mascara long and they’re naturally curved I don’t have to curl my lashes. This almost bends them inward and removed my natural curl. I hated how clumpy and ugly and short my lashes became from this mascara, 0 stars. This is the worst mascara I have ever used and I’ve used a lot of mascaras. I’ve actually been trying a new one every time I buy one recently because I’ve used the same cover girl lash blast since I was 14. I’m trying to find one like it that doesn’t take such a long time to build like the cover girl. ... MoreI don’t know what went wrong with me, maybe a bad tube maybe it’s because I layered with other mascara product, I tried twice and it’s god awful.

I’m trying to find one like it that doesn’t take such a long time to build like the cover girl. But that ones my holy grail. The reviews were wrong for me. This is how you know everyone is different but I thought that sort of thing didn’t apply with mascara. I thought it’s the same formula no matter who uses it. Apparently not. I personally 10 out of 10 will never recommend. I provided pictures. I’ve been wearing for several hours, my eyeliner is smudged but it looks the same as I put it on. Short. Clumpy. And took away my natural curl and went south for some reason.

I absolutely love this mascara.

I love this mascara! For like 2 years I've been using Lash Princess lengthening mascara by Essence and I was scared to try anything else. But i wanted a mascara that was brown and maybe looked a little more natural while still giving me length. I also hate a super thick, clumpy look. For me, this mascara gave me lots of length while still giving me natural looking volume. It holds the curl in my lashes for over 24 hours. no joke. I put it on at about 8 am before work, I'd fallen asleep in it one night after work, and the next morning my mascara was still in place. no smudging and my eyelashes were still curled. with other mascaras my lashes are straight by the end of the day. It doesn't flake, which I also loved because the Lash Princess mascara does dry fast in my ... MoreI love this mascara!

It doesn't flake, which I also loved because the Lash Princess mascara does dry fast in my opinion and flakes/smudges throughout the day. The only reasons ii took a star away was because 1. i feel like the brown isn't light enough and 2. the mascara is a little hard to remove. i normally use micellar water, but still have to use a little face wash in the shower. it isn't so hard that i have to lose eyelahses in the process of removal though! besides that this mascara is definitely my new favorite. solid 9/10.

Incredible formula that dries out quickly...

The only non waterproof mascara that I have tried that really holds a curl! I have naturally long lashes that are on the straight side so skipping the lash curler is a big fat no. Waterproof formulas hold shape better than regular formulas but I don’t like doing that to my lashes all the time (they also always transfer to my brow bone bc oily skin) so this has been a miracle! A new fresh tube is absolutely incredible but it dries out surprisingly fast and the formula starts to get disappointing from there. Pros: - Strangely good formula right off the bat from a fresh tube. Doesn’t need to dry out a little like many mascaras do before performing well. - Very defined, feathery, lashes - Holds a curl like waterproof - No flakes or crumbling with my oily skin - Easy to ... MoreThe only non waterproof mascara that I have tried that really holds a curl!

I love the formula for the first few weeks and then it tends to get clumpy, sticky, cakey and turns into spider lash city. In my experience the fresher the formula the better it performs but I go reaching for a new tube much sooner than other mascaras. Finally a waterproof alternative but I wish it lasted longer because it really is fantastic and I love the look!

Superior formula: good waterproof for contact lense wearers

I have used waterproof mascaras for many years to help hold the curl in my naturally stick-straight lashes. Non-waterproof mascaras have water in them and that will pull the curl out immediately. You can either curl your lashes, then put on mascara, or put it on and let it dry, then use a heated metal eyelash comb to separate and lift the eyelashes (just be careful to angle slightly out from your eyelid). The problem with most waterproof formulas is that they contain disteardimonium hectorite (basically clay) which makes them flake into your eyes as they dry out. I have lost count of the times I had to stop wearing my contacts because the flakes caused minor scratches in my corneas and they were too irritated for lenses. This formula doesn't contain that ingredient ... MoreI have used waterproof mascaras for many years to help hold the curl in my naturally stick-straight lashes.

This formula doesn't contain that ingredient but still has the holding power and water resistance I need. Also, it seems a bit easier to remove. I used some petroleum jelly and then the Up & Up eye makeup remover. Micellar water works as well. Bonus: I found it in brown. That's getting harder to find.

What an amazing product!
