My biggest beauty irk is having naturally long lashes that refuse to hold a curl - but luckily, this budget-friendly mascara forces them to stay upright all day long - and it’s currently on sale for Amazon Spring Deal Days.
I’m naturally blonde, so without mascara, my lashes are barely visible - especially as they are pin straight, too. I’ve used Maybelline’s Lash Sensational Waterproof for the past 10 years, and I’d never use anything else.
With over 22,000 four and five star ratings on Amazon, it seems I’m not alone in my love for this affordable formula from Maybelline (which you can now snag for the purse-friendly price of £8.49).
‘Love this mascara, I’ve used it for years now and make sure I never run out,’ wrote one user. ‘Its curved wand makes application easier for me and I don’t bother with false lashes after a couple of coats of this’.
‘This mascara is one of the best ones I’ve ever used,’ added a second customer. ‘I was looking for a good waterproof one for summer, and when it arrived today I tried it and fell in love. It makes my lashes longer and fuller, keeps them curled and is 100 per cent waterproof’.
Shoppers have hailed the mascara as 'the best they've ever used'.
‘The absolute best waterproof mascara I’ve ever used,’ said a third customer. ‘I have hooded eyes and find that mascaras can run up my lid as well as down under my eye. This did not budge until I got the makeup remover to it. I wore it to a concert and had the product on my eyes for 11 hours, it even stayed when it rained!’.
The mascara, which is currently on offer throughout Amazon Spring Deal Days, boasts a curved, silicone brush with six different bristle sizes that grab each and every lash with just one coat, providing a sultry, fan effect to the lashes.
Before: My lashes are so blonde and straight, they're barely visible!
The low wax formula not only provides an intense black colour without smudging, but it also means that even the straightest of lashes remained curled all day - I use this first thing in the morning along with a heated eyelash curler and it’s the only product I’ve found that makes my lashes hold a curl.
The innovative brush means that even the tiniest of lashes are coated in the formula for a high-impact finish - and it’s not just me that’s obsessed.
In a UK consumer test of 247 women, 90 per cent agreed that the mascara reveals layers and layers of lashes, and that the formula gives a lash-multiplied look.
After: The mascara keeps my lashes upright all day - it's the only mascara I've ever found (and I've tried hundreds) that holds a curl - plus, it doesn't transfer and is so waterproof!
For the best results, makeup artists who swear by the budget mascara recommend first using the inner bristles to capture the tiniest lashes, before turning the brush and using the longer bristles to volumise and define the longer lashes.
I’ve been using this mascara for the past ten years and each time I try another brand or different product, I’m reminded why I love it so much - nothing else compares to this! It’s a makeup bag must-have, and I’ll definitely be stocking up while it’s on sale.
