    This mascara comes in an attractive package and the name is cool too but the product is just ok. It goes on smooth and covers well but didn't hold my curl; it weighed down my lashes. I won't be switching mascaras to this one. I find L'Oreal Volumous better overall.

    Like everyone else, I got this mascara as part of the Product Review Club. Also like everyone else, I love the packaging.

    But the mascara itself is just okay. Not bad, but not amazing. The first time I used it, I applied two coats (the packaging recommends multiple applications). I won't do that again - it was so clumpy. The next few times I used it, I only put on one coat, and it wasn't clumpy at all. The wand does a good job of separating the lashes. But I found it didn't make my lashes any fuller.

    So ive been trying out this mascara for a few days now after recieveing it in the mail. I was exspecting not to like it because i disliked there last mascara. however that was not the case! oh lala i love it! it seperates well, lengthens (especially on the bottom lashes) dosn't smell bad like the last one, and overall creats a nice look!!! some of the girls mentioned it curls a little- i havent really noticed much of a curl, but nonetheless i still love it. the packaging is cute too, its a change from the normal look. all in all a decent buy :)

    When i got this in the mail i was estatic, the thing that attracted it to me the most was the packaging. (the shape of the stiletto) The pluses to this mascara is it applies easy and has no clumps at all. While it did lengthen my lashes and was entirely clump free, it didnt make them look very full, and i had to apply a couple coats to reach a dramatic effect. The quality is very good if you are looking for a more natural look, however for more dramatic effects i would try something else. The other downfall is this isnt something you would want to cry with, while its nice to have it wash off easy, its a pain if you would tear up for a second. Overall its good depending on what you want to use it for.

    I recieved this product in the mail like some other members of the product review club. After testing it out a few times I would say this mascara is decent. It doesn't clump and adds a bit of length. Unfortunately as I have sparse lashes, I tend to like mascaras that make my lashes look more full. The effect of this mascara is okay but not worth writing home about. I do like it and I think it does a good job... unfortunately I'd rather spend my money on something that does a fantastic job. But maybe it's my lashes and not this mascara. I'm asian and I have typical asian eyelashes (they are sparse, straight, don't hold curls very well unless you curl before applying mascara and then curl again afterwards.), so perhaps this mascara would work better on someone with naturally curly and full lashes.
    I'll continue to use this every now and again.... it's sort of on par with Maybelline Full and Soft (in terms of what it does for my lashes)

    I received this as part of the Product Review Club. Like many of the reviewers, I really like the packaging which may answer the question "Why is it called Stiletto?". Its sleek, attractive and is shaped like the heel of a stiletto. The idea is pretty interesting, but I was looking at the quality and the effectiveness of the whole product. Personally, I found everything quite lacking. The lashes did not curl as much as I would like (an eye curler may have produced a better result, frankly). This may be because the bristles were not uniformed and shaped like Maybelline's previous mascara (Colossal). True, it did not "clump" and gave it a natural look, but this is because it didn't exactly curl! Although I like the innovation, I personally would not purchase this product neither would I recommend it to my friends. I love love the Colossal mascara, so I'm sticking to that :) Thanks Maybelline and ChickAdvisor for the opportunity to review the Stiletto!

    I tried this mascara as part of the ChickAdvisor Review Club.

    I never leave home without mascara and have tried many different brands, but never Maybelline, since I usually splurge for a higher end brand when it comes to mascara.

    The packaging is really nice and I was impressed initially - it looks similar to other high end products (unlike the super bright packaging characteristic of many other drug mart brands)

    In terms of it's effectiveness, it definately did lenghthen and seperate my lashes, but it made them too seperate. The brush was more "prickly" than even my normal lash seperating brush. There was no volumizing at all - so overall it made my lashes look less full and really long which I didn't like.

    Also, by midday, I found that the mascara was flaky and I had some dark small spots under my eyes (and I don't rub my eyes) so I think it was "shedding".

    It was pretty easy to take off, and I didn't love the smell.

    Overall, even though I liked the way it the packaging looks and I liked the dark colour, I wouldn't purchase this myself:) I think it would look best on someone who is going for the look described, or something who has very thick lashes and only needed lenghtening/seperating.

    p.s. I wanted to add, after reading the other reviews, that I felt it made my eyelashes look a bit "spidery"

    This mascara was sent to me by the ChickAdvisor Review Club, and I have to say I was very, very impressed. This one rivals my favourite CoverGirl Lash Blast. The brush is very prickly and helps separate all of my lashes. It doesn't clump at all and it goes on ultra smooth. I love the look this imparts.

    It does have a smell, but to me it smelled like honey. I didn't find it unpleasant at all...however, I don't think this scent was intentional by any means. As for performance, this is probably the best mascara for it's price point. The brush reminded me of Lancome mascara wands...a great classic mascara.

    I have to admit that I have slept with it on overnight a couple times and when I woke up, I didn't have raccoon eyes. It was easy to wash off though which was a pleasant surprise. A mascara that doesn't run, but that washes off with ease is a pretty great thing.

    It didn't have one of the new futuristic space-ship looking wands...just an amazing old-school classic wand. I hate to bump CG LashBlast, but I'm thinking Lash Stiletto might be my new makeup bag sidekick. I highly recommend it.

    This mascara had a very unpleasant smell that lasted all day and did not define each eyelash but stuck them in small bunches. I liked that it did not smudge and washed off with water very easily and quickly. Overall, I would not recommend this mascara because it did not make a huge difference and the smell was very distracting.
