Champagne Quality on a Beer Budget: Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara



Maybelline Lash Stiletto in Blackest Black

Okay, I am a mascara junkie. I have bought virtually every kind of mascara on the market. I saw a commerical for Maybelline's Lash Stiletto, and really wanted to try it. I went to Wal Mart, and it was only $8.00 for a tube, so I thought why not?

I got it home, and was most pleasantly surprised. My natural lashes are short, fine, and a light brown shade. I like them to be big and bold and jet black, as I love a dramatic eye, and have black hair, so it looks off when they are not done.

I love a mascara to lenghten, add volume, and curl. This mascara does all of the above for me. The shape of the brush is wonderful for coating evenly and especially getting the outer lashes.It's thicker in the middle and thinner on the ends, and the bristles are a little wispy and random, which works wonderfully for lengthening and separating.

The finish is a glossy, jet black look. My lashes look very long, plump, shiny and sleek. I hear some people complain of the odor, and i have not noticed a smell. Also, I have heard comments about it flaking, and I have never had that problem. The only thing I can think is they say that to layer it, you need to do it before it dries. Some people are possibly letting it dry and then doing another coat. That is the only thing I can think of that would cause flaking.

All in all, a couple of my favorites are Diorshow and Imju Fiberwig Mascara, and this one has not only stood up to them, but crushed them in several ways. These mascaras dry out and clump much faster than the Lash Stiletto. And at $8.00 a tube vs. $30+ a tube, that is a win/win for me.

Glossy, lenghtening, plumping, and long wearing.

I give this one 4/5 stars
