I’ve always been pretty nonchalant in regard to beauty trends. Sure, I’ve surrendered to temptation a handful of times and hit the “add to cart” button on a viral product — like the Tarte Juicy Lip Plump, after seeing it again and again on TikTok — but can you really blame me? However, of all the fads that have dictated routines and Sephora purchases of late, there’s one category that always seems to grab my attention, no matter how much I try to ignore it: lashes.
I was blessed with the gift of naturally long lashes, so I’ve never felt the need to get lash extensions, but I still like to play them up with mascara. Being a longtime fan of natural, 90s-looking makeup, I’ve always paid special attention to the formula I use — especially when I want to give more drama for a certain occasion. I’ve never really had a problem with finding one that works, but recently, I discovered a new favorite in Maybelline’s Lash Sensational Firework Mascara ($14).

I’ve always been a Maybelline fan — I bought its foundation on a whim when I was on vacation and forgot my makeup bag at home and have sworn by it ever since — so I had high expectations for its newest mascara. And believe me, it did not disappoint.

What I Like About the Maybelline Sensational Firework Mascara
Although I don’t switch my mascaras often, I was thoroughly impressed with how quickly I saw results with this product after just one stroke. Normally, I do at least three coats before seeing satisfying results, and Maybelline’s formula instantly elevated my lashes, giving me that natural faux-lash look. I was also pleased with its staying power after wearing it for seven hours (it didn’t clump or get hard over time). And even though the mascara is waterproof, I didn’t get those raccoon eyes when taking it off with my makeup wipes and cleanser at the end of the day. Does it get any better than that?
