Maybelline Illegal Lengths Fiber Extension Mascara: Review, Photos
Mascara is one of the most intriguing makeup products to me. There is a new one introduced like every day and they all claim to do many different things, from volumizing, to lengthening ,to even making you appear to have on false ones. As you all know I’m a big sucker for hype. Especially mascara hype. I know the advertisements and commercials are all fake but, it’s the claims that get me every time.
Well say hello to Maybelline’s new but, not so new Illegal Lengths Fiber Extension mascara. Illegal Lengths was a mascara that Maybelline sold years ago that was discontinued. They have since re-introduced and revamped the mascara by adding fiber extensions into its formula. Retailing for about $7 bucks at most mass market locations. This mascara promises to extend lashes while adding volume. It took me three uses to finally see the little fibers on the wand and on my lashes. I’ve never tried any mascara that had fiber extensions in the formula but, after reading several reviews about different fiber extension mascaras, some people found that the little fibers irriated their eyes. I haven’t had any issues with the fibers getting into my eyes or flaking when touched with this one.
Today was actually the first day that I used this mascara ( I’ve been using this mascara for about a week) and really noticed that my lashes looked longer, not fuller but longer. Will there ever be a mascara that gives me plump voluminous lashes? Even my co-workers noticed the length. They asked me what lashes I had on(because they looked so natural) and when I stated they were my lashes they immediately asked what mascara was I using. lol That made me smile because, while I want fuller lashes having longer looking ones isn’t bad at all.
I can’t compare it to other fiber extension mascaras but, I really like this mascara. The packaging is similar if not the same (just a different color) as the Lash Stiletto. If you’re in the market for a new mascara, or you like trying new ones out. I would definitely say give this one a try. It’s not going to give you voluminous lashes but it will make them look and appear longer. This product isn’t available on the Maybelline website but, I think that’s because it’s a spring launch that just has been landing in stores early.
Have you seen or tried this mascara yet?

I will have to try because I’ve been wanting to try a mascara that elongates the lashes since I have full but short lashes.

The best mascara that i use that never clumps my lashes are falsies waterproof. Be sure not to mistake it with falsies winged:)

The older I get the thinner my eyelashes become. They also seem to be getting shorter. When I was younger, and curled my lashes with mascara, my friends accused me of wearing false eyelashes because my eyelashes extended to the bottom of my eyebrows! Ahhh, the good ole’ days. Anyway, I saw the commercial for this mascara and thinking “yeah, there is always a mascara promising to do something that it really doesn’t do” I tried this one. It is FABULOUS! I do (feel like I) have to put on three coats, but the look is fantastic when I am through. I curl my lashes prior to application, and then curl them again after application. While the mascara definitely makes my lashes longer, the curler is what puts the curl in. Without the curler my lashes would be almost straight. When I curl prior to application, apply 2-3 coats then curl again, my lashes do extend to the bottom of my eyebrows . . . again! I am so excited. I hope this product NEVER goes away! GREAT JOB Maybelline!
