New York Lash Sensational Mascara, Waterproof Brownish Black, 0.3 Fluid Ounce

I was SO impressed with this waterproof mascara, it lasted forever and did not smudge at all. I had done lots of research on which waterproof mascara to get because, if I’m honest, I hated waterproof mascara due to EVERY one I’d ever tried smudged a ton. I decided to buy two different waterproof mascara brands with the BEST reviews. THIS one (Maybelline) being my favorite and Lash Princess being the other. (Yes Lash Princess is SUPER cheap and works fine but Maybelline is just a few dollars more and honestly is so much better.) To REALLY test them, I tried Maybelline on one eye and Lash Princess on my other eye. (Make sure to wait till mascara is dry before getting wet) Then I took a hot shower and washed my face like usual, and I found Princess Lash rubbed and flaked a bit while (Maybelline) stayed intact. I’ve worn this to lots of places and every time with a satisfactory result! My sister liked it so much she kept borrowing it so I just bought her one too. The ONLY thing is, it’s hard to take off because it’s super waterproof. So obviously you have to use makeup remover wipes and all that. I’ve never used wipes before because I have super sensitive skin, so I’ve found jojoba oil (or any facial oil) works great, you just have to rub it into your eyelashes for a little bit before to break up the mascara so you don’t rip your eyelashes out 😂 Also it was kinda weird, both times I’ve received this mascara in the mail, it was outside of its packaging. It looks like the plastic cover wasn’t glued onto the backing if that makes sense so the mascara was just floating inside the amazon box with the pieces of its packaging. 😅 Nothing was damaged though.

Good on non-oily days, easily runs if my skin is oily.

I have almost invisible eyelashes. This mascara covers nicely. I also have sensitive eyes. They tend to water a lot and info use regular washable mascara it’s running into my eyes and ends up on my skin. My go to for many years has always been waterproof Great Lash also by Maybelline. It was the only mascara that worked for me. I have been having difficulty finding it in brownish black or brown. I thought that I would try this mascara. It works wonderfully. No smudge, irritation, and the perfect color. The only thing that was a bit of a problem was that it takes quite a while to dry and the brush takes some getting used to. It removes easily with mineral oil. I definitely will be using this product from now on.

This is my favorite affordable mascara. Perfect length and waterproof. The best!

Not the best at holding a curl as some waterproof mascaras I've tried, but not clumpy either and goes on nicely. I like a brown or brown black mascara and those are hard to find. I also like waterproof because without it, my stick straight lashes instantly fall. So what I like to do is use a waterproof mascara first to hold the curl, then use something like a tubing mascara after. This mascara doesn't hold as well with this method as others I've tried - like covergirl lash blast or the heroine make me mascara. It's not horrible though and is pretty good generally,
