When Maybelline New York launched its Sky High Mascara stateside in November 2020, it partnered with TikTokers, asking them to share their test drives. The tube sold out at American cosmetics retailer Ulta four times. When it launched in Canada two months later, it was sold out online at Shoppers Drug Mart and Walmart within 72 hours.
