Best Drugstore Mascara: Maybelline Lash Sensational

I have always loved Maybelline mascaras, and I have never been disappointed with one, which is why when they released a new one a while ago, I went straight out and bought it. It is definitely affordable, at £7.99, and is sold in all drugstores.

The mascara has a curved, plastic applicator, with tiny bristles so you can get between all of your lashes. On one of the curves sides, there are longer bristles, and on the other side there are shorter bristles. To make the most of my lashes, I firstly use the side with the longer bristles, then use the side with the shorter bristles to lengthen them even further. I love the applicator as it is the perfect shape for your bottom lashes as well as your top ones. 

Maybelline claim that this mascara multiplies your lashes, and I 100% agree! After one coat, my lashes look longer and thicker, although are still separated and fluttery. My eyelashes are naturally long, although are quite straight, and I found that this mascara lifted them and gave them a slight curl too. 

I only have one complaint about this mascara, although I have this complaint with most other mascaras too. I found that this mascara was quite runny with the first couple of uses, and smudged slightly within the first hour of applying it. I would only get tiny dots on my skin, but they were quite frustrating! After a couple of weeks however, the mascara dried out a bit more, and this problem no longer existed. I think this can be a problem with most mascaras however, and does definitely not put me off repurchasing!

Overall, I love this mascara and will definitely continue to buy it. It lengthens, volumizes and multiplies your lashes, creating a dramatic effect. I would recommend this to everyone, as it is excellent quality for the price and is better than many high end mascaras.
