The claims:

The only mascara that does for lashes what stilettos do for legs.

* The 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 and Ophthalmologist tested


How to use:

Sweep Grip and Extend Brush upwards from root to tip to grasp each lash and coat from every angle to achieve extreme length and shine. Continue building lashes until you reach your desired look. Do not let dry between coats. Repeat for lower lash line. Removes easily with soap and water or Maybelline® New York Expert Eyes® Eye Makeup Remover Towelettes.


Pros:

amazingly lenghtens my lashes
the brush really gripes and extend lashes
the brush makes it easy to coat every lashes
doesn't smudge
lasts all day


Cons:

- flakes
- clumps after 2 coats
- I didn't noticed a shine
- the brush needs some used-to at first (I poked myself in the eyes a few times)
- strong scent


What I think:

This is definitely my HG mascara. It's the most lengthening mascara I've used so far. I absolutely love the brush, which is kind of square instead of your usual round mascara brush. It makes it easier to really gripes every single lashes and lengthen them. A picture is worth a thousand words, so see for yourself:

I love this one its a tie betwwen the telescopic mascara i dont know which one is the best. I have gotten great results with this mascara very long my eyelashes look fake i love it. I like to try new products but i should stick to what i know instead of throwing money away.

This mascara exceeded my expectations! I love it so much! I can't say much about price because my sister gave it to me almost used up, but even with little product, this mascara gave me long, defined, non-clumped lashes that looked very natural and enhanced my eye makeup. Two coats is a little more dramatic and even with a third coat it won't spike into horrendous spider-y lashes! I love how light it is to carry anywhere, its brush is the perfect size- I never get smudges, unlike those huge, orange-tubed ridiculous brushes.... heehee. It does, however, flake a bit at the end of the day. But the formula is light enough that my eyes don't get tired. I recommend this as an everyday mascara. It won't give you plush, false-lash looking eyelashes, but it does a perfect job for everything else. I haven't seen a mascara this good in ages. Go out and purchase this already! :) You know ya want it.

Love, love, love "Lash Stiletto"!!! A super effective lengthening mascara with the end results being a beautiful, natural look :D After effects are more healthy supple feeling lashes! Great for a natural look but if you're going for the glamorous, super long and curly lashes this isn't for you...

Maybelline.... That's the BEST brand in my opinion for mascaras.... they're just amazing !!!!! Like many other girls here, I'm sure, my very first love affair with makeup began with the Great Lash ! Even if the tube is horrible, It is is one of the mascara I always have in my "makeup collection" !!!!
The Lash Stilletto... The Original formula gives a lot of lenght
The Volumptuous gives lenght AND volume...
Like most mascaras, I prefer when I have used it for a few days so the formula is thicker, not as liquidy....
The brush is a traditional one, not a plastic one, which means that yes... it can get clumpy if you're not carefull... It is long and thin, Which is a type of brush I like. The volumptuous has a curvy brush which helps getting... curvier eyelashes !!!
I prefer the volumptuous over the original formula ; out of the two, it's the one I will buy again...
My lashes are already really long, but I love the false eyelashes effect, which is almost what this mascara gives me.
One of the best mascara I have ever tried (and I tried almost every single one of them... drugstore and departement store....)

i bought this when it first came out because i loved the first one.the first day i used it i was in love it didnt clump or flake i wore it all day with no problems at all.the wand is good and easy to use.this is my go to mascara rite now.it makes my lashes long and full with one coat for day wear and with a second coat it is great for night wear too. i will deff buy this again

I got a kit that contained this mascara for xmas this year. Now that it is mid-May I think I can do a fair review on it. hehe. The kit contained the Stileto mascara, a quad of 'smokey eye' shades, black liquid liner and instructions of how to achieve their version of the smokey eye. This has been my go-to make up ever since I purchased it at Wal*Mart for around $20USD. The shadows don't crease or fade away even in the hot Miami weather, the liner never crumbles and the mascara never flakes away. I always get compliments on my very dramatic smokey eyes from this kit. The mascara itself is HUGE and very easy to apply. Mine did not come with the wiggly wand-- it's straight with nice big bristles. It seems like it is going to last for ages! I know I should have replaced it by now but it's not drying up at all and goes on just as flawlessly as the day I bought it. I like that I can build up with this product. To make my look super dramatic I let each coat dry fully before I add another. It does all it promises to and more. Try to find the kits if you like Maybelline's products they are SO worth it!!

I love love LOVE this mascara. It adds amazing length, lasts forever and never clumps. It's probably the best, most long lasting mascara I've ever used. Well worth the $10.00!

I have admitted to being a mascara whore, so it’s no wonder I caved and purchased this! I initially saw Maybelline Lash Stiletto in Wal-Mart, and I was intruiged. However, I was resistant at first as I didn’t really need yet ANOTHER mascara. Suffice it to say, I couldn’t help but take a sneak peak on Makeup Alley for reviews. 9 reviewers gave it a 100% rating. I was beginning to crack!

My partner in crime ended up purchasing it, but still hadn’t tried it. I couldn’t resist it any longer, and ran out to buy it this past Thursday. I got home, took of the dreaded L’Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes, and applied Lash Stiletto. OMG! YAY! I saw length on my lashes! WAY more length than I’ve gotten with a lot of other mascaras. Mind you, this was without even using primer!

The next morning I didn’t hesitate to reach for Lash Stiletto instead of one of my many other mascaras. I did use primer and curled my lashes first. Slightly more length than the trial run offered! Now, I do think my Shiseido The Makeup Mascara Base gives the mascara a tad more volume. In which case, my friend egged me right into getting Lancome Cils Booster XL (thank you eBay)! She said it offers more length than volume, so I can’t even wait to see how long and luscious my lashes will look if that’s true!

Oh, and removing it was a breeze! It didn’t take any real effort to get the mascara off. No, it’s not waterproof. I don’t particularly care for waterproof mascaras anyway, and I never have the dreaded raccoon eyes or anything either. Maybelline Lash Stiletto offered wonderful length without any smudging or flaking!

I have tried so many mascaras and really liked this one. I was looking for something that was "good" for my lashes. This one has the Pro B vitamins which is suppose to be good for your lashes. I wear mascara daily and find that my lashes fall out at times. I found after using this one for a month my lashes seemed so much more healthier and were not falling out like they used to. No clumping either.
