I am a huge mascara lover, and anything that claims to make my lashes longer and more prominent I will buy. I bought this a week ago and am loving it. I have pretty short lashes, but this mascara makes it really easy to apply multiple coats to make them look longer. The formula doesn't clump so my lashes don't look spidery just nicely defined and elongated. I love the small brush and that it is really easy to apply, overall I really like it and it is my new go-to mascara.

I also recieved this product as part of the Product Review Club and I was quite impressed! I was one of the few reviewers who *didn't* notice the shape of the tube resembling a stiletto heel; I suppose it makes sense now that I look at the tube more closely but I'd just thought it was a sleek tube with a somewhat understated design at first. Anyways, I digress.

What I love about this product is that the formula is not terribly thick, which makes it a really great choice for daytime wear. The brush is completely unlike most brushes in the trendier current mascaras, and goes for more of a slimmer look a la Great Lash (and who DIDN'T love Maybelline Great Lash?) but with more of a spikey wand to catch lashes rather than the Great Lash-style neat spiral of bristles. The formula is SUPER easy to apply, and lasts reasonably well. If mascara is a vital part of your day-to-night look, this is a good pick for work or school but rather than re-apply in the evening you might need a bolder formula. (This is one thing in life you'll wish was a little more fattening.)

Voluminous though it may not be, lengthening it is. I have medium-length lashes and this formula does have the attractive facet of making them look prettily elongated. The mascara smell was also strong with my tube, but it fades quickly and it doesn't bother me. Overall, I'd say this puppy gives you a look that's very girly, but not so much sex-kittenish. Then again, it all depends on the girl wearing it. Meow, y'all.

I really liked this mascara because it did separate my lashes well and provided a natural look! I was worried that it would make my lashes look too long and fake, but it did provide volume for me while still providing a natural look. I have already recommended it to some of my friends!

Let me begin with full disclosure that I have pretty decent eyelashes to begin with. They are slightly above average in length and fullness and they hold curl well. I think the people that will always have the toughest time with any mascara are those with sparse or shorter lashes or ones that won't hold a curl.

I took a picture to show how it looks on my eyes and have broken my experience into pros and cons.

Pros:
* Grip & Extend brush creates beautiful separation with no clumping
* The Lengthening formula with Pro-Vitamin B5 makes lashes nice and long while providing conditioning and strength to help make them healthier
* Lashes feel soft and feathery
* It holds curl longer than many other mascaras I have tried
* If I compare one eye with this mascara and one with no mascara the difference is quite dramatic. Lashes are significantly longer and more defined
* Stylish, clever packaging in the shape of a stiletto heel
* Reasonably priced

Cons:
* The mascara does have a scent, though it doesn't bother me. Most mascaras have some sort of smell to them so this wouldn't affect me buying it.

Overall I found it to be a lovely lengthening mascara. If you have medium to full lashes you will probably love this. If you have sparser lashes you may prefer something with more volume building properties such as their Colossal mascara.

*** Please note: I was fortunate enough to receive one of these mascaras from Maybelline. Though I run the Product Review Club I don't always get product to try for myself and I am never personally paid for reviewing anything.

If you want separation and a natural look, this is the right mascara for you. I was really impressed with the separation that the mascara provided - absolutely clean!!! This is the first mascara that I didn't need a lash comb afterwards. However, the Stiletto doesn't create the added length that other products provide. But because of its clean application, you can coat your lashes multiple times for extra volume without looking like a drag queen. Great for daytime clean natural look, a little weak for a night time dramatic look.

so i have been using the new york lash stiletto mascara made by maybelline for the last few days now and all i have are good things to say about it.
This mascara is probably one of the best masacaras i have ever used. It goes on smoothly, NO CLUMPS what so ever and somehow manages to coat every lash!
I sometimes tend to have issues with certain mascaras as they make my eyelashes almost look like spider legs, and when i blink it gets everywhere, but this stuff is just right, it makes lashes look fuller and somewhat longer, but also makes them look very natural, i've even had some compliments.
I would definitely recommend this mascara to anyone who seems to experience the same issues that i do.
my eye lashes are already pretty thick and full,but since i'm a red head, they are very light, which is why i wear mascara.
so yes,
highly recomend it, it's a good price for good quality.

I was very excited to review the Maybelline Stiletto mascara and overall I would say it did not disappoint and I would recommend it.
The packaging was very sleek, stylish and had a higher end appearance, much better than some of their other mascara products ie. Great Lash etc. and Maybelline is known to have quite reasonable pricing.
While it did fulfill it's claims of lash lengthening, I wouldn't recommend it for a dramatic evening look or for anyone who likes bold, sexy lashes.
For those of you who prefer an 'au natural' look or for daywear I would definitely give this product a thumbs up!

This product actually made my lashes longer without having to curl them first. I like the fact that my lashes felt really soft while using this mascara. It washes off really easy. The only down fall was that it is not water proof, so ther fore I would not purchase it. If it does come out in waterproof this will be my new mascara of choice.

I also received this mascara product from ChickAdvisor to sample. I absolutely love the packaging, and I really am a slave to packaging! I think it's super cute, and I'd be comfortable pulling it out of my make-up bag anywhere anytime (unlike the old Great Lash mascara tube in pink and green...for some reason it just reminds me of a Grandma).

The play on a stiletto is super cute and gives an idea of the main functional benefit of the mascara - that the product probably lengthens your lashes like a stiletto heel is long and skinny! However, I felt that it was more of a 'pump' as it was a natural look and while I like natural make-up when it comes to mascara I want it to be the one thing that's noticeable. I really was hoping for more length and more 'body' in my lashes. However, for a girl thatt's really looking for a very natural look, yet a look that still defines her eyelashes a little bit, it would be a great product.

Also, I have very sensitive eyes and wear contact lenses. The product made my eyes sting a little bit, and I tried it numerous times to make sure it wasn't something else making my eyes sting (i.e. eye shadow).

Again - if you're looking for a more 'sultry night out' look, or even just more noticeable lashes, I'm not sure it's the best choice. But, for those natural seekers out there, it could be your new favourite product!

Also received this from Chick Advisor. I think this is a good day-wear product. It gives you similar results as Lancome's Definicil mascara - long and individually separated lashes. I've been using it over the holidays and enjoyed the 'enhanced' natural look it gives. There's no clumping so far. And the product doesn't weigh my lashes down, so the curls stay put after application. I was pretty impressed by that since my lashes always droops after putting on mascara. For $8 at the drug store, I'd recommend this. One thing that bothers me a little is the scent. I found it a bit too pungent for a mascara. It's not an unpleasant smell, but I'm just not into overly scented products.
