When it comes to the most important products in my makeup routine, one continuously rises to the top—mascara. Even when I walk out the door with just serum and lip balm, I still make sure to swipe a coat or two across my lashes. I’m constantly on the lookout for mascaras that make my lashes so long, thick, and lush you can spot them behind my glasses. In my recent mascara research, I kept seeing one in particular pop up on Reddit, so of course, my interest (and my lashes) were immediately piqued.
The mascara in question? Maybelline’s Lash Sensational Sky High Washable Mascara, which is one of the most recommended beauty products on Reddit, per the platform. Luckily, it’s currently on sale for $10 during the Amazon Big Spring Sale (which means I can try it without even an ounce of buyer’s remorse). In fact, the sale includes tons of top-rated Amazon mascaras, so I rounded up some more of the best deals to add to your cart (and onto your lashes, stat).

Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Washable Mascara
Amazon
Buy on Amazon $13 $10
In a recent report breaking down its most searched topics, Reddit noted that this Maybelline mascara is one of its most commonly recommended beauty products by users. Considering it’s also racked up over 70,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, I’m not surprised. It lengthens, separates, curls, and fans out lashes thanks to a waterproof formula infused with bamboo extract and fibers. Plus, Maybelline’s patented brush has 10 (yes, 10) layers of bristles to coat lashes with length and volume while refraining from flaking or clumping. It comes in four different black shades and a vibrant blue, and it’s even safe for contact lens wearers. (It’s also safe to assume it’s already in my Amazon cart.)
L’Oreal Paris Telescopic Original Lengthening Mascara
Amazon
Buy on Amazon $13 $9
With dramatic carbon black pigments and L’Oreal’s Flexible Precision Brush, this mascara instantly lengthens and defines lashes. I’m certainly intrigued by the slimmer wand—I lean toward mascaras with curved or thicker brushes, so it will be interesting to see how separated and full this thinner one can make lashes get. The washable formula intensifies the look of lashes while keeping them clump-free. It’s available in five shades, including a waterproof black, and has racked up more than 46,000 five-star ratings. Shoppers say it “holds all day without smudging,” makes lashes “look so much longer,” and is “the perfect size for getting in the inner corners.”
Maybelline Lash Sensational Full Fan Effect Washable Mascara
Amazon
Buy on Amazon $12 $7
As someone whose very first mascara was Maybelline Great Lash, I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for this drugstore brand—and I’ll always try another option from them, too. My eyes definitely perked up over this one, which features a curved brush with 10 layers of bristles that creates a full-fan effect from root to tip. Plus, it lengthens and volumizes without clumping. The formula comes in a multitude of different black hues, some of them waterproof, to intensify every single lash. It has more than 54,000 five-star ratings, with shoppers raving that it makes lashes “look fuller and longer” and creates “perfect separation.” Another shopper called it “amazing” for “catching lashes of all lengths and really fanning them out and making your eyes pop.” Sold.
Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara
Amazon
Buy on Amazon $13 $9
Another mascara constantly in my rotation is Covergirl Lash Blast, so I’m actually in awe that I haven’t tried the Clump Crusher before. The brand promises 20 times the volume with zero clumps, which immediately lured me in. The curved brush separates and volumizes with every stroke while simultaneously grabbing every lash. It comes in seven different shades of brown and black, plus the vegan formula is free of phthalates, mineral oil, formaldehyde, talc, parabens, and sulfates. With more than 7,000 five-star ratings from shoppers who say it layers on “as thick as you want it without clumping,” this mascara is one to watch.
Physicians Formula Eye Booster Instant Doll Lash Extension Kit
Amazon
Buy on Amazon $16 $12
I have to admit I’ve never hopped on the lash extensions train — I prefer to use mascara. But this innovative Physicians Formula duo grabbed my attention with its promise to transform lashes, leaving them longer and more defined in a matter of weeks. It includes a Lash Boosting Mascara and brush-on extensions, which you alternate applying and building for added drama. The formulas are hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested, and the brand says the effect lasts for a whopping 24 hours. Satisfied shoppers say it “really extends your lashes” and “adds body and thickness.” Ooh la la.
