Loving Lash Sensational Again...

When it comes to mascara, I usually always try a new one every time it comes to needing a replacement. It's pretty rare for me to either repurchase the same one again, or an old favourite that I've tried before. Basically, I love trying new mascaras - whether they be new to the market, or simply new to me - and hopefully finding new favourites (or possibly just ones to know to avoid in the future). However, that can often mean that those new favourites get quickly forgotten about, as soon as I'm in need of a new mascara - and one of those would definitely be the classic, infamous, Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara. 

Oh yeah, we all know this one, right? I remember when this first launched a good few years ago and everyone (and by this, I really do mean everyone) went mad for it - myself included. And unlike sometimes with makeup, where the hype kinda amounts to a whole lot of nothing and the product itself isn't actually as good as everyone makes it out to be - this mascara was most definitely not one of those. I was pretty dubious after hearing so many rave reviews, but after a while I caved, gave it a try and oh my, was I wrong to be sceptical. This did pretty amazing things to my lashes - and from the off aswell! With most mascaras, they'll require a little bit of 'breaking in' and being used a few times to really get into the good stuff - whether they need drying out a little, or moistening up (ew) - but with this one, I didn't have that issue at all. From the very first time I used it, it worked wonders for my lashes and I was super-pleased with the effect it gave. Lot of length and volume and it really thickened and beefed-up up my lashes, whilst also separating them out nicely at the same time. There were no clumps, my lashes had a nice lifted finished and they stayed looking just as good throughout the day too. Also, whilst I didn't pick up the waterproof version - nothing moved, smudged or flaked off either! Basically, I'd found a new lash love of mine.  But, as I always do, once the bottle ran out, I quickly moved onto trying something new - and no doubt, finding other favourites. 

However, I have revisited my love for the Lash Sensational at various points since over the years since moving on from it. Sometimes, I'd see it in-store or someone talking about it online and I'd remember how much I loved it - and quickly repurchase. Or a couple of times in the past, if there weren't any new mascaras that tickled my fancy when I was in need of a new one, this would be one which I'd come back to as one I could rely on to be a good'un. And then in-between those times, I'd go back to trying - and either enjoying or perhaps not enjoying - new mascaras and that's kind of been the situation for the past couple of years. And I guess right now, we're back to 'let's use an old favourite' phase as when I was running low on mascara a while back and wanted to purchase one ready in waiting - this one caught my attention. I really wanted to go back to one I knew I could trust and this obviously, was the first I thought of. And let's just say - I still absolutely adore it, just as much as I did in the first place. Trust me, if you've always wondered if this massively hyped-up mascara is as amazing as everyone claims it to be - it honestly is...
