    Stinks

    10 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!

    CLUMPY

    Unlike the washable Lash Sensational, the waterproof version is clumpy. Unusable tube of mascara and I’m irritated that threw away the receipt (I wrongly assumed I could rely on Maybelline for mascara, as I often have).

    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.

    Almost perfect

    So, let me say that I always use waterproof mascara because I feel that holds my curl better throughout the day, I love this mascara, great volume, and length... but it's a pain to remove (and that's coming from someone that is used to using waterproof mascara all the time) and that's why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5

    LASTS 4EVER

    4 years ago
    "Lash-sensational" is not an understatement for this little gem of an item, that was initially bought by accident at a CVS during a trip with my friend, but somehow ended up in my hands --with which I am extremely grateful. This mascara survived my nonstop sobbing fest I had when my cat passed away, still made my eyes appear "normal" after a mental breakdown at a party, and also survived the hangover afterwards. 10/10 product. Thank you for making me look beautiful even during my less-than-beautiful moments.

    Ridiculously large brush

    I have used Great Lash for years but thought I would try something different. This is awful. The mascara is clumpy and the brush is way too big. I’ve used it for a couple of days trying to get used to it, but every day the mascara just gets worse. Very disappointed.
