Product Review: Maybelline Long Extreme Stiletto Mascara

I am a mascara-flirt. I don't seem to get enough of mascara and I admit, i can't live without curling my lashes and applying mascara. So yeah, i am always in the lookout of new mascaras in the market or i always make sure that i don't run out of it.

i've been hearing about this Lash Stiletto mascara from Maybelline a long time ago, good thing it finally arrived here in PI:

Maybelline Long Extreme Stilleto Mascara

The hottest thing lashes will ever wear. The mascara that does for lashes what stilettos do for legs.

• Grip & Extend brush grasps each lash and coats from every angle
• Elastic formula stretches lashes for provocative length
• Pro-Vitamin B-5 formula conditions and smoothes for black-patent shine
• Contact lens safe
• Ophthalmologist-tested
• Waterproof, also available in Washable formula

lovin' the sleek red and black packaging that looks like a stiletto heel

wand is short, with tiny bristles arranged in a spiral which actually helps in catching the lashes better

before and after (2 coats applied) pics:

definitely made my lashes look a lot longer, an officemate even asked me if i'm wearing falsies

what i like:
it doesn't pull down my curl
it has little fibers which helps to lengthen lashes, but not too much with the volume
no smudging, flaking the whole day
waterproof indeed, but i used my Ponds cold cream and it came off easily
wand is small, and can be used to apply mascara on lower lashes as it catches even the smallest hairs
fairly priced at Php349.00

what i didn't like:
it does not give that black-patent shine as it claims
it tends to clump if you apply more than 2 coats (or maybe i just need to perfect the application)
it has a bit of scent, but it goes away after a while

do i really look like i am wearing falsies?

tata!
