Hello again,
The Maybelline Lash Sensational is probably one of the most talked about mascaras in the world of blogging. I started using it about a month ago after running out of my Benefit They’re Real mascara.
I’d say the most prominent feature to this product is the fact that it’s really lengthening. Paired with a good eyelash primer, it makes my eyelashes really fluttery and feminine. It doesn’t make them look like spider legs, like a lot of lengthening mascaras tend to do, but simply enhances your natural eyelashes.
It’s not the most lengthening mascara I’ve tried, but it provides the perfect length for me. I had tried mascaras in the past that make my eyelashes ridiculously long and I hated the way it looked.
If you’re looking for volume, this mascara probably isn’t for you. However, it doesn’t make your mascara look thin, it merely separates them in a fluttery sort of way. Because of this, this mascara never makes my eyelashes clumpy or too thick.
What I like the most is that although it separates my eyelashes, it doesn’t make them look unatural. As you can see, they’re not perfectly even like false lashes. They look exactly like my own eyelashes, with a little bit of volume and length.
As the mascara doesn’t provide a lot of volume, I usually apply some of my Rimmel Scandaleyes Reloaded mascara first. I only put one coat of it on my eyelashes before using the Maybelline Lash Sensational. Otherwise, my eyelashes will look a bit more sparse than I want them too. I feel like these two together give me everything I look for in a perfect mascara.
If you’re wondering why I’ve only skimmed over the Rimmel Scandaleyes mascara – it’s because there’s a full review coming to my blog really soon.
As you’ve probably gathered by now, this little beauty is definitely worth the hype.
As always, thank you for reading.
Let me know if you’ve tried this mascara and how you got on with it…

The quality for the price is amazing!
Jeez you have awesome lashes- even with two different mascaras mine don’t look like that! I currently use Tarte’s Lash Paint mascara, but it’s kind of expensive so I am looking forward to the Rimmel mascara review!
Oh I need a new mascara and I’ll definitely check this one out!!
You should! It’s so affordable
So funny! I was just thinking today that I need a good ‘go to’ mascara! I will have to try this, I love Maybelline!
This is definitely my new go to!
I am still looking for a good mascara and haven’t found one that I love, I am going to have to give this one a try.
You really should! 🙂
I need to try this mascara! I see it all the time and have heard so many great things about it! Thanks for sharing this awesome review!
I need to buy new mascara. This sounds wonderful! Maybelline is one of my favorite makeup brands.
Me too!
Gorgeous lashes! I love Maybelline products across the board, so I know this’ll be a hit. Thanks for the review!
I am in desperate need of a new mascara, and i havent been able to find a good one. This one adds so much volume to your lashes and looks really natural. I am writing this down so i can grab this the next time i am out at the store!
You definitely should! It’s actually so volumising considering it’s primarily a lengthening mascara 🙂
I have really long lashes and I look for volumizing mascara so I don’t know if this one would work well for me but it looks great on you!
Mine are naturally long too but I love it! 🙂
I love mascara. It’s pretty much a necessity since my lashes are so short and sparse.
Maybelline is my go-to when it comes to makeup! My lashes are thin and short, and have found that Maybelline does the best things!
Great review on this mascara!! I actually have it but am waiting to use it until I finish up my current mascara (I’m close!). I love that it’s very lengthening but still natural looking and will definitely use your tip to use a coat of a volumizing mascara first ^^
It still looks lovely without using a volumising mascara but I just love volume haha 🙂
I love mascara! It’s always my go to look when I leave the house. Even if I’m in a hurry. Do you know if this is good for sensitive skin? I tend to be allergic to a lot of mascaras.
I have really sensitive acne and eczema prone skin and never had a problem 🙂
This is a great recommendation. Looks perfect on you :). Haven’t tried it before. So I would definitely love to try!
I’m a mascara junkie!!!! I feel naked when I’m not wearing it! I will have to give this one a try!
So am I! It’s probably the makeup product I buy the most haha
This is definitely my favourite mascara! Couldn’t be without it!

I’m so glad I discovered it!
I came to your blog after you liked one of my review posts (bethdoesreviews.wordpress.com) and I love it! I wanted to leave a comment here because Lash Sensational is one of my favourites, I agree with everything you’ve said here.
Thank you! I’m so glad I decided to try it – it’s definitely worth all the hype x
