12 January 2012 13 Comments

UPDATE: Maybelline has just launched what might be their best mascara ever. See Before/After comparison photos here –>> Review Maybelline The Rocket Mascara.

As of late, I am loving the Maybelline Mascara family.  I’m sure you’ve seen our before/ after photos of our faves like the Maybelline Falsies Volum’ Express Falsies Mascara as well as the Maybelline One By One Mascara.

The newest edition, Illegal Length Fiber Extensions Mascara, is no exception.  From the brush to the packaging, I’m a fan.

I have small lashes and tiny eyes so I am always looking for the best of the best to bring out the bang in my eyes! This mascara claims to use fiber-extension technology which results in longer-looking lashes….4mm visibly longer. Well, I am not good at math, but I was pleased with the results nonetheless.

When I first twisted the package, I was struck at the fact I didn’t have to wipe the wand  before using. Just the right amount came out on the brush and I was ready to go. I also liked the brush itself, each bristle caught all of my tiny lashes and did just what it claimed, to give me the longest lash possible.

Before I had the good fortune of trying this product, I used to take a department store mascara and a fiber product and layer them. But now with Illegal Length Fiber Extensions Mascara, I no longer have to use two products. GENIUS!

This mascara will be available nationwide beginning January 2012 and will retail for $8.95. Three washable shades – Blackest Black, Very Black and Brownish Black  Two Waterproof Shades – Blackest Black and Very Black

    I have been seeing this mascara in stores for the past week or so and I have been trying SO hard not to get it as I am on a budget this month and promised not to buy an make up until Feb. its so hard becuz i love mascara, i love maybeline and well lets face it I love make up! glad to see it worked for you. it definitely shows in ur pics, ur lashes look longer and it makes the illusion that ur eyes are in fact larger as well. can’t wait to try it!

    great review. thanks. I bought it but havent tried it yet. guess I am glad I did buy it. I love trying new makeup when it comes out. even better if you have a sample to try before you actually buy. my lashes are sparse so this will be great for them for sure. thanks again for the review.

  • Jill said:

    This looks great, I will probably try it! Maybelline knows mascaras! i would also suggest trying TARTE ..they have a product with a black primer that works super and is good for your lashes by adding the primer.

  • Jen said:

    I am curious how easily this removes or if it “melts” during the day???

  • Jen said:

    Wow..what a difference it made with Erin’s lashes! I’m likely to try it now! My eyes are a bit sensitive, though…any way to get a list of ingredients in the non-waterproof one?

  • Barb Soger said:

    She already has long eyelashes, it just enhances them. Any Maybelline mascara will do that.

  • Patricia said:

    I love mascara, and I’m definitely going to be trying this one!

  • Misty M. said:

    I usually use Lash Stiletto but after seeing these results, I might just give the Illegal Length a try!

  • Gabby said:

    I use the Maybelline Lots of Lashes now because Maybelline has always been known for the great quality of mascara they put out so I’m going to definitely have to pick that up and try it. It looks great and the price is even better.
