A new budget-friendly mascara from Maybelline is set to fly off the shelves, promising voluminous lashes in a matter of seconds – and beauty lovers are already taking notice.

The bestselling Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara went viral on TikTok for good reason. Loved for its ability to lengthen thanks to a unique flexible brush that reaches every lash, it quickly became a staple in makeup bags across the UK, including mine.

What impressed me most was how quickly it created a full-lash effect without clumping

Now, Maybelline has launched the new Lash Sensational Body Mascara, Volumizing up to 24H Lift, and as a long-time fan of the original, I had to get my hands on it to see what all the hype was about.

The original Sky High mascara has been my go-to for years. It’s one of those beauty buys I always restock, as I find it almost doubles the length of my natural lashes. So it didn’t take me a hot minute to snap up the new Body Mascara to put it to the test.

According to the brand, the formula promises 'full body lashes with volume plus up to 24-hour lift', with no flaking or smudging, just 'pure lash power that moves with you'.

First impressions? The formula is noticeably drier than Maybelline's Sky High mascara, and the brush is completely different. Instead of a straight wand, this features an hourglass-shaped plastic brush designed to deliver 'high volume and all day lift'.

While I found it separated lashes fairly well – though not quite as precisely as Sky High – it really came into its own when building volume.

After just a couple of coats, my lashes looked fuller and thicker, something the original doesn’t quite deliver, as it’s more focused on length.

What impressed me most was how quickly it created a full-lash effect without clumping. With some volumising mascaras, layering can lead to lashes sticking together, but this one managed to avoid that.

I didn’t experience any dreaded panda eyes either, but I do have a bit of a trick up my sleeve. When setting my makeup, I always use powder and often run a little eyeshadow under my lower lash line.

Not only does it make my blue eyes pop, but it also creates a matte barrier that helps absorb oils and prevents mascara from transferring or smudging.

The wand itself deserves a mention, too. It has enough bristles to comb through lashes effectively, preventing product build-up – something I’ve struggled with when using other volumising formulas.

Priced at just £13.99 at Boots, the new Lash Sensational Body Mascara already boasts a near-perfect star rating and more than 200 glowing reviews 

And I found it worked well at lifting my lashes regardless of whether I used an eyelash curler or not.

Overall, it’s an impressive all-in-one mascara, offering curl, volume and lift. However, if you’re after serious length, the original Sky High still has the edge.

Priced at just £13.99 at Boots, the new Lash Sensational Body Mascara already boasts a near-perfect star rating and more than 200 glowing reviews and it’s easy to see why shoppers are adding it to their baskets.

'At last a mascara that lives up to the hype! Great formula,' one Boots shopper wrote. 'No clogging or flaking - does exactly what it says on the tin! Love it 5*****'.

'The best mascara I've used,' a second user wrote. 'I honestly LOVE this Mascara. Maybelline always do the best Mascara but this is just unreal. I went out with the girls with no lashes on last week as this made my natural lashes look so thick and full.'

A third reviewer agreed, writing: 'This mascara gives instant lift and buildable volume without feeling heavy! The brush separates lashes really well, making them look fuller and more defined with just one coat, and you can layer it without clumping.

'It holds the curl all day and doesn’t flake or smudge, yet comes off easily at the end of the day. Perfect for everyday wear when you want lifted, wide-awake lashes.'

If full, fluttery lashes in seconds are what you’re after, the Maybelline Lash Sensational Body Mascara might just be worth the hype.
