There are days that we are all feeling lazy and don’t feel like wearing makeup. If I had to pick just one item to put on every day I would pick mascara. There are a lot of products such as lipstick (link to lipstick post) that I think really complete a look but I think mascara always makes me feel instantly more beautiful and look more “awake.”
I found myself constantly looking up “best mascara” and “mascara brands” and searching Ulta, Sephora, Walmart, drugstores, and anywhere else I could think of. I think I finally found the one. I’m including a black and white photo below so you can see my eyelashes more clearly!

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
I recently started using Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara in the color midnight black. I can truly say that I’m obsessed. Most of my life I have used Maybelline’s New York Great Lash Washable Mascara which I’m pretty sure like 80% of girls have worn this at one point in their life haha.
The lash sensational mascara has been a game changer. I have talked about it a few times on my Instagram @therealkika and a lot of you feel the same way or have been inspired to buy it and love it which is amazing!
In my experience the mascara doesn’t clump my eyelashes, and makes them look long and beautiful. I’ve always been a fan of really long eyelashes! The mascara is infused with conditioning rose hip oil to make them feel soft and light. I usually curl my lashes with this curler (on sale) first and then apply mascara. I usually wait 2-3 minutes and then curl them again and apply a second layer of mascara. You only have to do one layer but I just love how they look with two.
The mascara is less than $8 and lasts for a long time. You can buy it here.
Let me know what you think!
