Stiletto Ultimate Disappointment
I've been a loyal fan of Maybelline cosmetics since my early teens. So, after watching the advertisement for the "Maybelline New York Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length Mascara", I just knew I had to have it. The commercial was totally hot and I was hooked in seconds. I waited about a week before buying it because I had a few more applications left with my "trusty-can't live without-&q...read moreuot;Maybelline Great Lash Washable Mascara." The anticipation was killing me. I couldn't wait to see how long my lashes would be after trying this hot new mascara. Finally, a week went by, I tossed my old tube and headed straight to the drugstore, marched directly to the cosmetics aisle, grabbed my prize, charged it, and rushed home. Okay, so here's my take on this product. As soon as I twisted it opened I was not at all pleased with the shape of the brush. I know for a fact the all women, before applying mascara, sort of wipe the tip of to clear any excess mascara off. Well, I just kept doing that with this mascara. I just kept thinking that there was more product at the tip than I needed. Yes, I knew it was the shape of the wand but some habits are just hard to break. Rather than act insane by repeating this process and not getting anywhere (thinking I could make the tip more pointed or something) I proceeded to apply the mascara. Yes, it does lengthen. Quite well actually. But I prefer my mascara wand to taper at the end. It's takes a bit of careful precision to get to each lash especially on the inner and outer lashes. With the design of the Stilletto wand it's just to wide for my taste. One could easily poke their eye if they aren't careful. It's just too annoying for me. It would be perfect if the end was narrow and more pointed, like the heel of a stilletto maybe.... It does takes some getting used to and you will see length. I really didn't see much difference in the length of my lashes compared to Maybelline Great Lash Washable Mascara. Which by the way will be my next purchase after this runs out!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Best I have tried
It is quite strange to see an array of opinions of different products. What works for one doesn't for another. I have tried to find a great mascara, I have bought Diorshow, beauty tubes, Clinique, Lancome, etc. I have had nothing work like this. Perhaps, it is because I have very thin feathery lashes. That isn not a good thing! And all the volumizing mascaras just look crusty and clumpy. Th...read moreis product glides on smoothly and looks shiny not clumpy. It is very precise and like I said, the best mascara I have tried to date. I was pleasantly surprised.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

well it is shiny
this would be great if you already have very full or very long lashes. it does make them very shiny and there is not clumping whatsoever. but my lahes looked bald in my opinion. i like full long lashes this made my lashes very sparse and i looked like i was crying and my lashes were wet. they had a lovely black shiny look. no clumping and no volume eitherThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Horrible Mascara with a Horrible Smell!!!
This is the worst mascara I've ever tried! I was so excited to try this one. It looked great on television. and I loved the packaging. It turns out that was all that was good about it. The first disappointment was when I opened the tube, it had a crude, melting plastic type smell. It didn't seem to apply evenly and after 3 coats, I had parts of my lashes that didn't look covered and the other...read more parts looked clumpy. It probably would have looked alright with a lash comb, but did not seem worth the effort, due to the fact that the smell of it was giving me a headache. I had to take it off, which is something I've never had to do before with a mascara, and I am one of those people who can wear it all day and even go to bed with it on. i would not recommend this to anyone who is sensitive to smell, and as far as lashes go, I'm not sure what type it would work on, but I know it didn't work with my thin, medium length eyelashes.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

<3
First of all: cute packaging, and I love the feel of the square tube (just like a heel, so cute). That said, this mascara definitely does what it says. I'm always on the search for the most lengthening mascara, and this one definitely lengthens noticeably. Not only that, but I love the bruch! It has a long, tapered shape that really lets you get lashes from complete end to end. I have a few mascar...read moreas that I use to get my complete look (I layer them), and this one's definitely sticking around in the line-up!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

It really lenghtens
This mascara really lenghtened my eyelashes, but I noticed more eye irritation than with other brands. It seems I was sensative to one of the ingredients in it. It's not bad, but enough for me to use only 3 times. (I had to make sure this was the source of the problem). But, overall my lashes wouldn't take a pair of sunglasses!!!--hit the lenses.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Stiletto my...........
I felt like I was wearing FLATS!!!! And it did not distribute enough color!!!! Ladies, the only drug store mascara for length to get is.... Loreal Telescopic carbon Black - the carbon black is the key - long luscious dark lashes!!!!! So, far no other drug store mascara can touch it! I do try everything new that comes out - I always want Length and more Length!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

OK
Unlike the other reviewers, I didn't smell anything. This product is just ok, not spectacular. I'll use the tube I bought, but won't buy it again.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Best mascara so far!!!
I have short lashes and I am forever trying the newest mascara to make them look better!!! I am very pleased with this product!!! I get great results, length and definition! Wears all day without flaking off, removes easily without tearing out my lashes. Great value, I got mine for about $3.99 with a coupon.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful
