Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara | Review & Swatches

I've never been one to be obsessed with buying mascaras. I've always been a lipstick/eyeshadow palette junkie but there was a lot of talk in the beauty world about Maybelline's Lash Sensational Mascara - £7.99 so I just had to try it once I saw a 3 for 2 offer on in Boots.

I really love the packaging of this mascara. The colour of the tube is a lovely metallic rose gold that looks perfect in my makeup stash. The curved brush is long and quite chunky. I had high expectations for the mascara as I always think Maybelline are the best for mascaras. Lash Sensational didn't disappoint!

Many people have compared Lash Sensational to Benefit's lastest mascara, Roller Lash. I have a small tester of Roller Lash and although I loved it, I thought the formula was way to watery. I loved Lash Sensational a lot more than Roller Lash. I did think the formula of Lash Sensational was quite 'wet' but it does dry quite quickly. What I really love about this mascara is that it doesn't clump in the slightest! I never thought it was possible to apply a mascara without it clumping my lashes together. My eyelashes appear volumized and defined. I think this mascara is perfect for achieving natural looking long eyeslashes. All in all, I really loved this mascara and I definitely think everyone should give this a go! The only downfall is the formula being a little 'wet' but apart from that it's perfect. It doesn't clump or crumble and it manages to last for hours. What's not to love?

Do you love Maybelline's Lash Sensational Mascara? Did you think Lash Sensational was better than Benefit's Roller Lash?

Mini Boots Haul!

I don't think there is anything better than going into Boots and finding new makeup to try out (on a 3 for 2 offer). I am a self confessed makeup addict though! There have been many new makeup releases recently with Spring now in action and here are some of the things I bought yesterday.

Bourjois has always been a favourite brand of mine. These two lipsticks are in the shades 'Jet Set Rouge' and 'Pamplemousse'! They are two new additions to the range Rouge Edition 12 hour lipstick. I've tried other shades from the range before and been really impressed so I already knew these were going to be a good purchase! Me and Rachel have already got a review lined up for these lipsticks so I won't say too much about them in this post but I absolutely love Jet Set Rouge! It's a bright red while Pamplemousse is a coral pink.

How could I not buy the new Maybelline mascara? I've saw countless positive reviews and many bloggers comparing this highstreet mascara to the new Benefit Roller Lash! I've tried a sample of Roller Lash and found it incredible. The price of Benefit makeup is just too much so I'm hoping Maybelline's Lash Sensational lives up to my expectations. I'm always wanting to find cheaper alternatives! I love the packaging of this mascara and I can't wait to try it out. Again, we have a review coming up on this product too so keep your eyes peeled :)

Have you bought anything recently from Boots? What is your latest purchase?
