I'm a big fan of Maybelline mascaras. I loathe to pay a lot of money for mascara as it's a product that's supposed to be replaced every few months. I find the problem with new mascaras is there is always too much product on the wand which I then have to wipe off. Next follows that golden period of time when the consistency is just right, before they start getting a bit old and clumpy. Unfortunately the golden period was far too short on this one. The fibres in this mascara left my eyelashes liking dry and flakey and prone to fall out. This far outweighs any length that the fibres add.
I do like the slim shape of the packaging and the tube is easy to grip and open. The brush is quite feathery. If this is the effect you like, then this, along with the fibres will make it a good mascara for you. I also like that the top of the wand is flat so that you could stand it up on its end when you are cleaning up any clumps (which there will be)
I certainly didn't achieve any illegal lengths with this mascara. I would definitely buy Maybelline mascara again but it won't be this one.
I purchased this mascara when it first came out and I was not a huge fan! I curl my lashes as they quite long but really flat and as soon as I applied this mascara they were flat again! Almost as if the mascara was so heavy my lashes couldn't handle it!
It didn't give me any extra length, and with a name like illegal lengths you would want to hope it did right! It also dried out really fast!
I wouldn't recommend this mascara unless you are just after something to give your lashes some colour, that's about all it offers unfortunately! Although it does have a nice wand!
