Beauty Review: Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara/Eye Liner

lash stilettoI am still on the search for my favorite mascara, and I was really hoping that Maybelline’s Lash Stiletto would be the one. I was wrong. This mascara promises longer, thicker lashes with an added bonus of a black-patent shine. Well, I didn’t quite see any of those things. The first time I tried it, I thought maybe my lashes looked a bit longer. But within a few minutes of it drying, I didn’t notice the length anymore. And after that first time use, I didn’t notice length at all after applying. Thicker lashes- nada. And this shine I was supposed to see, which was the main reason I was so excited to buy this mascara? I sure didn’t notice anything shiner about my lashes. For $7.49 this wasn’t the priciest mascara, but I will definitely not be buying it again.

On a more positive note, I bought the Maybelline Lash Stiletto Ultimate Precision Liquid Eyeliner and I am hooked! The smaller tip gives me the flexibility of having a thin line or adding drama with a thicker line. It is good for extended wear, lasting through a night of dancing for me without smudging or disappearing. And I like that it doesn’t smear above my eyelids, once I put it on, it’s dry and in place. At only $5.94, I thought this was a good deal for a product that works!
