Maybelline’s newest mascara, LASH Stiletto, promises to do for lashes what Stilettos do for legs. So if I am following the analogy correctly, LASH Stiletto is basically making the bold claim that lashes will appear a mile long!
Hmmm…Is that so?
Seeing as I’m not one to back down from a mascara claim, naturally, I had to investigate…
When approaching a new mascara the first attribute to grab my attention is brush size. Yes ladies, size matters! My personal mascara brush preference is long and lean. Super fat brushes beware…this is why my love affair with Dior Show BLACKOUT was short lived. While the formula was amazing, the brush was too fat. I used to do the ol’ switch-a-roo and use disposable mascara wands with Dior Show. But back to LASH Stiletto. The brush size is ideal for maximum product distribution. With a thinner brush, I find it much easier to work the product from root to tip and then rotate the brush to coat and curl the lashes. The thinner brush also makes it easier to coat lashes outside as well as inside…I’m totally a mascara on the outside and inside kinda girl…Call me Tammy Faye Baker if you want but that’s just the way the kid rolls 🙂
In addition to brush size, formula and color intensity are two important factors for moi. Maybelline LASH Stiletto delivers in both categories. With respect to formula, the product is long wearing and does not run. And with respect to color, Shade 951, Very Black, is well, how do I describe this…uh, VERY BLACK. LOL
Maybelline LASH Stiletto retails for about $8.00. Recessionista alert!!!
