Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara Review

The beauty blogs have all seem to feature this mascara – I suspect its popularity is due to the fact that (apart from makeup, ahem) ladies are shoe crazy as well. I have to admit, the black and red advertising and that big sexy heel definitely made me look twice – this is one hot mascara!

The hottest length lashes will ever wear. Elastic formula stretches lashes up to 70% visibly longer in just one step. Exclusive Grip & Extend brush grasps each lash to separate and lengthen from every angle. Pro-Vitamin B-5 and silk protein strengthen and condition for hi-gloss black-patent shine.

Firstly though – I gotta say Maybelline is one of the best drugstore brands around for mascara. From Great Lash to my very first mascaras I tried (my mom got me my very first mascara – from MAC, bless her soul – when I was 14. After that I tried Maybelline. I loved the one called Lash Expansion, where the heck did that go?!)

Anyways, back to the review:

• “Hottest Length Lashes Will Ever Wear” Yep, big plus on length – it definitely delivered on length. Can’t say too much about the volume though. This definitely gives a very long, feathered, natural look. (Although, one night I did layer a coat of this for length, and my beloved Virtuôse for volume – insane!)
  
• “Exclusive Grip & Extend brush” I do like this brush, though it was just a little large for me. The whole tube, though it looks long and lean (the heel, obviously) was actually pretty big, and so was the brush – very thin and long, but big! The bristles were the old-skool kind (thank goodness, gotta say I prefer this to the new rubber brushes recently) and spread out evenly,  so it did aid in separation for the lashes.
• Clumps, Smudges, and Flakes? Not really, none and none. Pretty impressive. In fact, I was very impressed, since it’s a washable formula.
• Overall … I’m happy with this mascara – it does what it says it does. It really is good for those who love the natural, long mascara look. I already know a few girlfriends who would like this. Personally, I would’ve likes a bit more thickening, volume action, but this is also a great mascara to layer with, like I said earlier.

Oh, would you look at that!
