'I tried Maybelline's viral Sky High Mascara on offer for Amazon Prime'

Finding a good mascara can be no mean feat. From getting the perfect curl, length and volume while making sure it doesn't run half way down your face by 3pm, its hard.

I have tried so many different mascaras out there, from high-end Lancôme and Dior ones to drug store cheaper alternatives. I am a sucker for a good advert, and this is when I came across the Maybelline's viral Sky High mascara, which currently has over 50% off on Amazon.

I have three different mascaras on the go at the moment (bad, I know) but I can't find just one I am happy with. I end up layering all three on top of each other.

With pretty much every influencer, makeup guru and even my sister giving their two pence on the product, I knew I wanted to give it a go after such glowing reviews. It is also Molly-Mae's go-to mascara, and if it has Molly's stamp of approval - I was sold.

The wand is plastic and slightly tapered which means it's big enough to coat all the lashes with one swipe, but due to the tapered end, it means you won't smudge into the inner corners of your eye. The wand is also flexible so you can wiggle it, zig-zag it or blink it through your lashes - or whatever your technique is.

The application was faultless. It definitely covered every one of my lashes, and they were very long which is the ultimate goal for me. However, my biggest gripe with other mascaras is when it ends up under my eyes or on my eyelids halfway through the day and end up looking like a panda with some dodgy black smudged eyeshadow going on.

So the Maybelline mascara had passed the application test, but it was time to give it a wear test - and it was a pretty hard one seeing as I was in the office all day and commuting to and from work in a heatwave. But I was pretty impressed, there was a slight smudge under my eyes, but nothing too offensive.

Ideally I'd love a mascara that doesn't transfer at all. This mascara managed to last all day, and at the end of my working day my lashes still looked extremely long and fluttery. For the price you really can't go wrong - especially as it's currently on offer for over half price at just £5.99 compared to £12.99.

It's not just me who loves it either, as Amazon shoppers have given it an impressive 4.3 out of 5 star rating. One beauty fan wrote: "This mascara delivers impressive length and lift without clumping. The flexible wand makes it easy to reach every lash, and the formula is lightweight yet buildable. It lasts all day with minimal flaking. Overall, a great drugstore option for long, defined lashes."

While another penned: "This is a good mascara for the price. First photo after application, second and third photo at the end of the day. Slight panda eye/smudging but not too drastic. Application wise the brush is quite bendy compared to others but goes on well after the 5/6th use (perhaps it thickens slightly??)."

Another viral mascara that is loved by beauty fans is the L'Oreal Telescopic mascara which is currently on offer for £6.99 as opposed to £10.99. It promises to provide up to +70% length and up to 36 hours of wear. The mascara features a flexible multi-comb for easy and high-precision application, and the brush is made with elastomer bristles and flat surfaces that evenly distribute the formula.

A pricier but top-rated mascara is the Lancôme Définicils High Definition Mascara, which is also on offer for Prime Day for £20.30 (usually £24). It delivers instantly longer, separated lashes and the patented brush evenly distributes mascara from root to tip, creating a natural, clump-free look.
