And its new True Brown shade is infused with the same original bamboo extract as their OG 'Black' formula to promote lash strength and fibres for long, full, flake and smudge-free lashes.

A stranger on the London Underground soon cemented my love for the bargain beauty buy after asking me if I was wearing lash extensions and where I had them done - suffice to say, they were shocked when I told them I was simply wearing mascara and a cheap one at that!

It effectively lengthens and curls my lashes with just one coat, grabbing every single lash, no matter how short they might be.

A coat or two more deposits more pigment and volume, leaving me with fuller-looking lashes with minimal effort required. And it stays put, even in the summer heat, while removing easily with cleanser.

Reviewers have also sung the Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara's praises on the brand's site, describing it as the 'holy grail' of mascaras. Others have crowned it 'the best mascara for long lashes'.

Shoppers with even the shortest and most sparse lashes obsess over the beauty buy for its separating, lengthening and transformative abilities, and others attest to its clump and smudge-free formula.

'I had so many compliments, people ask me if they are my real eyelashes,' wrote one five-star reviewer. 'Gives me so much confidence.'

A second user wrote: 'Love this mascara, have tried many higher brands but always come back to this. Leaves long, full lashes, would highly recommend.'

This mascara is impressive and has a permanent place in my makeup collection, not to mention it's earned me countless compliments, and at under £13 a tube, I'm stocking up.
