Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Waterproof Mascara

The same flexible wand and bamboo-extract formula as the original Sky High, in a waterproof base. This is the version that actually makes sense for the Bangladeshi climate: it holds through humidity, monsoon damp and a full day of events without transferring onto the under-eye. The trade-off is removal -- waterproof mascara needs an oil-based cleanser or micellar water, and scrubbing at it with a face wash will cost you lashes.

Wipe the wand on the tube neck, then wiggle from root to tip. Remove with a bi-phase or oil-based remover: press a soaked pad against closed lashes for twenty seconds to dissolve the film before wiping, never rub.

Isododecane, Cyclopentasiloxane, Synthetic Beeswax, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Bambusa Vulgaris (Bamboo) Extract, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Panthenol, Polyethylene, CI 77499 (Iron Oxides).

Ingredient lists are transcribed from the packaging of the batch we hold. Manufacturers reformulate — always read the carton you receive, and patch test if you react easily.

Check the shade name or number together with the batch code. Both are printed on the base of the pack on a genuine unit, and the batch code matches the one on the outer carton. The seal should be intact, the printing crisp rather than blurred or slightly off-register, and the pack should close cleanly and evenly. Weight and finish are a good second check — a genuine compact feels solid and the hinge has no play in it. We photograph every unit as it arrives and record its batch code and expiry from the carton, so the item you receive is the one we checked. If anything does not match, send us photographs before you use it and we will sort it out with you.

• This one is a pre-order. We buy it in the United States for you and bring it over with our next shipment — normally about two to three weeks. That is an estimate, not a promise: we give you the date we expect when you order, and tell you if it moves.
• In and around our own area we deliver ourselves. Anywhere further goes by courier, and you are welcome to collect from us instead.
• The delivery charge is quoted and paid up front, never added afterwards. The rest is paid when the item reaches you.
• Damaged, incorrect or expired: tell us within 7 days with a photograph and we replace it on our next shipment — or refund you if we cannot. See our delivery and returns policy.
