Maybelline Lash Sensational- The Original

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
$8.99



Like a dog with a bone, I have not given up on my fantasy, that this editor and reader reviewed revered mascara will love up to the hype.  I just bought it today and will update you with my findings tomorrow.

As recently reported, Maybelline's lastest entry, Lash Sensational Luscious Mascara was a whoofer.  Let's see how the original compares.

In the interim, I went back to a former Holy Grail, Benefit's They're Real Mascara.  1) It's not nearly as great a I remembered.  2) It's still nearly impossible to remove.  Benefit did add a pricey remover to their line, specifically for the purpose of getting this stuff off, but I did not acquiesce.  Turpentine, did cross my mind as an option.  The only thing I really love is that my lashes are inky black. The depth of the color is striking enough to do with one less coat.


Net net, I save the packaging and receipts for both. One or the other is going back.

Stay tuned...

  1. I have tried this and I think its great. It looks great on my lashes and I find it easy to use. I would like to try that Benefits mascara to see the comparison.

  2. I have to say Jules I was underwhelmed! Returned it yesterday. Tried to purchase the new Maybelline Spiked, that the TotalBeauty editor raved about. It was not in stock. I did repurchase the L'Oreal mascara that has two sides; one with a primer. I much prefer it Lancome's primer which is twice the price and lasts half as long. One of these days my Holy Grail drugstore mascara plus primer will surface!

    Thanks for commenting!
