maybelline lash sensational mascara

if you're reading my blog, then you might know that i'm not impressed with my loreal telescopic mascara. and i wanted to try maybelline lash sensational one since it gets a lot of rave from a lot of people. it must be good and i have to try it! but unfortunately, here in indonesia, we don't get the same product as quick as it has to be, sometimes even never. very annoying, isn't it? then we went to japan. and i found out that they sold maybelline at donki. and when i saw this one, i grabbed this instantly and never look back. since probably i might change my mind.

this is the description from their website:
lash sensational washable mascara. this fresh liquid formula captures lashes from root to tip for a full-fan effect. exclusive fanning brush with ten layers of bristles reveals layers of lashes for a sensational full-fan effect. ophthalmologist tested. suitable for contact lens wearers.
how to use:
use inner curve to reach the roots of lashes. sweep from the root to tip of lashes. do not let mascara dry in between coats.

the packaging: the tube is chubby, just like any maybelline mascaras. most of them are chubby, so not so travel friendly since it will bulk inside your makeup pouch. the color though.. this time they pink rosy pink color, soooo pretty. the moment i saw it i wanted it since it's so pretty.

the product: the wand is similar to loreal butterfly mascara, which i loved. it was made of plastic, and each bristles can be seen easily, which means it doesn't pick up too much product that might clump my eyelashes. the wand has two sides, one has slightly longer and curved bristles, while the other side has short comb-like bristles. so it's supposed to help curl and lengthen your eyelashes.

the result: the bristles really helps to separate the eyelashes, i don't experience any clumping if the mascara is still wet. but if you applied more coat after it's dried completely, then it might clump. it does help lengthen my eyelashes, and for me, it's okay to use it on my lower lashes. but some might not comfortable using it on lower lash since the shape of the wand is unusual. but it doesn't give much volume to my eyelashes. and i've tried it without curling my eyelashes first and curling it first. if i didn't curl my eyelashes, the mascara doesn't help much with the curling, even it weighs my lashes down. i don't experience flakiness but some said that this one becomes flaky at the end of the day. but however, i don't use this all day long, so probably it's not long enough to be flaky.

so, definitely like this better than loreal one. love the wand since it's similar to loreal butterfly mascara which i also love. and usually i like waterproof mascara, but this one, i don't mind with it being not waterproof. but i do hope that it will help with curling without have to curl it using eye curler.
