Would I repurchase? Considering this has been discontinued, I’ll just have to suck it up and find something else. I have purchased two back-ups for when I’m done with the tube I’m on, but then I don’t know what I’ll do!

::: The Product :::
As it’s no longer available in the USA, I had to borrow some information from the UK Maybelline site, as well as other sites. Maybelline Sky High Curves is supposed to be an “extreme length and curl mascara” that lengthens up to 30% while setting lashes to a 30-degree curve. Its formula contains flexible polymers that stretch and mold to the lashes all the while lifting and curling lashes with its “lift ‘n’ length brush.” Sky High Curves was ophthalmologically tested, therefore it was suitable for contact lens wearers.

Sky High Curves was available in Very Black, Soft Black and Brownish Black. It came in a navy blue tube with silver writing with the product name on the front of the tube. There was also a waterproof formula, which was available in a light blue mascara tube with writing in navy blue. Each tube contains 0.16 fl. oz (4.7 ml) of product.

::: The Ingredients :::
Water, rice bran wax, carnauba wax, hydrogenated steryl olive esters, stearic acid, candelilla wax, triethanolamine, palmitic acid, acacia senegal, panthenol, methylparaben, hydroxyethylcellulose, dimethicone copolyol, propylparaben, polyvinyl alcohol, simethicone, PPG-17/492. May Contain: Carmine/CI 75470, chromium hydroxide green/CI 77289, chromium oxide greens/CI 77288, ultramarines/CI 77007, mica, titanium dioxide/CI 77891, ferric ferrocyanide/CI 77510

::: My Experience :::
I know I constantly review mascaras, and the only one to date that I’ve seemingly hated was L’Oreal Double-Extend Beauty Tubes. I just don’t seem to have a lot of issues that others have with mascara by way of smudging, raccoon eyes, flaking, etc. I don’t know why that is, but I don’t.

I was browsing the cosmetics aisle at Ocean State Job Lot, and saw Maybelline Sky High Curves. I had heard good things about it in the past, but never bothered trying it out. I decided I would give it a go since it was only $2.99 per tube. I mean, I’m sure it retailed about $7, so at least I wasn’t wasting a lot of money if I didn’t like it, right? My only issue was they only had it in Brownish Black, and I always buy the darkest black available.

It seems that my lashes are tricky. I know that seems silly to say, but it’s true. They don’t even grow “right” in the sense that they grow in pointing straight out, straight up, curling in towards the eye, etc. Not to mention, eyelash primers seem to weigh them down more times than not. So, I’ve resorted to just using my trusty Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler and whatever mascara I’m using at the time.

That being said, Maybelline Sky High Curves is good to me. Even though it’s Brownish Black, it still gives my lashes some color. My lashes definitely seem to curl up more so than with other mascaras, but I’m not sure if it really lengthens my lashes any… I think the lengthening aspect comes from the fact that my lashes are staying curled up giving the illusion of longer lashes. Though this isn’t a separating mascara, it does a good job of fanning my lashes out so they’re not spidery or anything. I don’t have issues with the mascara clumping or globbing up on me either.

I haven’t tried removing Sky High Curves with an eye makeup remover since I no longer use them, but it seems to come off just fine with Philosophy Purity Made Simple. My guess then is that if Purity gets it off easily, then any eye makeup remover should be able to simply remove it as well!

::: Overall :::
I keep saying “I’ll definitely buy this again,” but I think this is the only mascara I have repurchased and continuously used. I even tried my Maybelline Lash Discovery again and didn’t like it as much as I thought I did… Same goes for M.A.C. Dazzle Lash LOL! I’m thinking I’ll have to figure out how to stock up on this without worrying about rancid mascara.
