Maybelline Lash Stiletto/Voluptuous Review

Ive had my Maybelline Lash Stiletto for a few months now, and just the other week I decided to purchase the new Maybelline Lash Stiletto "Voluptuous". Here's my comparison between the two.

The top one (black) is the original Lash Stiletto and the bottom one (red) is the new "voluptuous" mascara.

The original claims that the brush "grips and extends" each lash and coats from every angle. It has an "elastic formula" that stretches lashes for "provocative" length. Pro vitamin B5 formula conditions and smooths for "black patent shine".

The Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluptuous claims that "now long lashes dont have to be skinny" and that their "dual action" brush stretches as it thickens each lash for "dramatic length and volume". Their rich cream formula  "adds the most seductive finish".

 From the picture below you can see that the two brushes are different. The original is triangular (the pointy end helps you get to hard to read lashes) and the voluptuous is curved slightly and the bristles are thicker too.
I absolutely HATE the voluptuous wand! It could just be me, but it doesnt "grab" my lashes, and because of the thick brush and my thin lashes, I just get chunks of mascara on my eyelids. The brush that the original Lash Stiletto has, however, is amazing, and it gets to all my lashes. It has coarse bristles that are very narrow and they dont bend, so pretty much wherever you place the mascara, it will go!

Because I have no issue with the actual formula of the voluptuous mascara, Ive decided to switch the brushes. My original Maybelline Lash Stiletto has basically run out anyway, so Im just going to use up the rest of the voluptuous formula using the original brush.

To sum it up, basically, Id give Maybelline Lash Stiletto an 8/10 (nothing wrong with the mascara, but I still prefer my Loreal Telescopic mascara!), but I won't even rate the "Voluptuous" mascara. Id recommend the original, but I wouldnt recommend the "Voluptuous". I think Maybelline just got cocky when the original Lash Stiletto did so well and sold so many, that theyd try it with a different brush.

Love it or leave it?

Maybelline Colossal Mascara $18

"Creates 9X the volume, instantly. Patented MegaBrush + Collagen formula plump lashes one by one. Dramatic Volume with no clumps."

Pros

Washes off easily.

Separates lashes; No clumps.

Vibrant colour.

Lengthens lashes.

Longwear, with no smudges.

Cons

I found it difficult to build a 'dramatic' look.

Creates nowhere near the 9x volume it had claimed.

Would I Buy it Again? It won't be a makeup staple, but it is great value for money!

For all of you that have tried this, What are your opinions?

Whats your Holy Grail mascara?

Haul #2

More goodiies! These are from today, just a quick trip into town and managed to spend over $50. Ugggh shops are so enticing! But I love it :)

From left; ModelCo Skin drink, Samy Anti-Frizz Serum, Lee Stafford Dry Shampoo, Maybelline Colosal Mascara, Australia triple eyeshadow, Grazia magazine.

ModelCo Skin Drink

I use this whenever I cannot be bothered with slathering body lotion all over. Its $32 so its not something I use daily. Its basically spray on moisturizer! Its packed with lots of goodies such as Ginko, Papaya, Green tea and Bamboo - even the smell makes you believe you're doing your skin some good!

Samy Anti Frizz

I tried using it this morning when I was blow drying my hair but practically half asleep - I used way to much product! Oops. So Ill use half the amount tmoz and give a quick review! It smells really good though! Like candy!

Lee Stafford Dry Shampoo

I couldn't find the Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment that everyone's been raving about :( So I bought this instead! I have such a collection of dry shampoos, theyre great! Because I have fine hair it's hard to do upstyles that actually stay put! So I can use this when my hair needs a bit of help :) Not to mention my over active oil glands!

Maybelline Colossal Mascara

I was in priceline and it said 15% off Maybelline, which brought this down to just $15. Now, I have my HG mascara already (Loreal Telescopic) but I decided why not try this. There have been adds and raves in every magazine and online forums, So hopefully this will live up to the expectations! Fingers crossed!

Has anyone tried this yet?

Australis Eyeshadow

Okay, so purple is in this season! So I decided to buy this. As Ive said before Australis is excellent quality at affordable prices! Im wearing the deepest colour today and its making my blue eyes pop! So lovely.

Grazia Magazine

Yawn. This magazine is boring. Hehe Im addicted to celeb goss and makeup! So this magazine just isn't for me :) Oh wells.

Whats everyones fav magazines? xx
