Updated Note: (Jan 02,2010) Take a look at this post: Maybelline Lash Stylist Reincarnated in Cat Form – Hypercurl. This mascara is only available in Malaysia for some reason. I do see Lash Stylist on Ebay: Maybelline Lash Stylist
Due to the popularity of this post, I have revised it with links to updates on new information regarding Maybelline Lash Stylist Mascara. Please read user comments below for more updated information
Looked everywhere at Target for my “BFF in a tube”, Lash Stylist by Maybelline. Nowhere to be found. I called my mother immediately, who lives about 30 miles away in another town, and I asked her to go to her nearst drug store and search for my trusty mascara and to buy at least two tubes. “Nope”, she said when she called me back, “They don’t have it, and I checked Target and Longs.” I went online and had a virtual fit. I found the mascara on beauty.com, and I noticed it was on sale. Unfortunately, I can’t find the mascara online right now. I haven’t checked ebay.. =(
So I ordered two tubes along with a bunch of really expensive Frederik Fekkai hair stuff, and ripped open the package to make sure my “BFF in a tube” arrived safely. Yup.. it was fine, and I had not used it for about a month since I could not find it anywhere.. and I noticed that.. nothing, nothing, nothing compares to it. I couldn’t believe how much better my lashes looked, and they even looked a lot darker. I was so happy, yet scared that my little friend in a tube is going to go bye-bye.
Sure enough, I saw the new Maybelline Stiletto Ultimate Length Washable Mascara (Say that 10 times fast) and I am angered that my little lovely Lash Stylist is going to bid me one last farewell.
Well, there it is. Here is the description:
The only mascara that does for lashes what stilettos do for legs.
-The Grip & Extend brush grasps each lash and coats from every angle
-Elastic formula stretches lashes for provocative length
-Pro-Vitamin B-5 formula conditions and smoothes for black-patent shine
-Contact lens safe and Ophthalmologist tested
Ok.. so nothing special here. The brush is red, which is hot, but not making ME hot.. so I wrote a letter to our friends at Maybelline about how pissed I am. hahha.. well, I was nice, don’t worry. I’ll let you know what happens.
UPDATE: I have tried and approve of Lancome’s Fatale mascara. It gives similar results than that of Lash Stylist, the only thing I don’t like about it is the glossy finish and the comb does not do a very good job of distributing the product evenly. As far as the end result goes.. it’s almost the same. Fatale is expensive, but I found a tube on ebay a little cheaper than drug store prices. If you have found anything similar to Lash Stylist, let me know and I can post it here.

Bad Review for Maybelline Lash Stiletto
ebay has lash stylist!!! just bought 5 tubes 6.99 each from beautysuppliers
very sad that my favorite mascara has been discountinued. Maybelline made a wrong choice!!! I dont think my eyelashes will ever look the same
For those of you who live in Canada…Toronto in particular.. I have found Lash stylist today at Dollaroma!! Can you believe it.. 2 dollars a piece!! I bought the rest of them off the shelf and as soon as my friend gets here, we’re hitting up the rest of the Dollaromas in Toronto for more!!
I have been searching for months for lash stylist, but to no avail. I heard from a Maybelline sources’ mouth that they discontinued the product because it was NOT demanded enough amongst consumers. I see from this page that it just isn’t true! I’m wondering if the product was sooooo good, that we as consumers didn’t need to buy it often enough! OR we were not buying every other new mascera product which came out, in search for the perfect one…because we had it in lash stylist!I have heard that make-up companies will do just that,(although I am not in the industry and have no clue whatsoever)– if a product is liked too much they will discontinue it so the consumer has to spend more money in search of another.
I hope they bring it back, I saved my last comb, and this has been working but not as well, I’m just happy I still had one to save.
heidi
I’m using stiletto right now and I like it, but its no lash stylist. But there’s a lot of Lash Stylist’s on ebay and Amazon. I bought 3 tubes and will probably go buy some more before they’re all gone. Maybe if were lucky that cat eye mascara with the same comb as lash stylist will come to north america.
maybelline had the absolute best mascara to hold by their name and they let it go? smart.
i will be returning to the mascara i used before i found lash stylist, which has a fantastic comb but cost twice as much.[$11]
loreal paris volume shocking mascara. great job losing our business maybelline, jolly good! the loreal version is perfect as well but i was sick of the price, now im willing to go back. and i don’t trust anything that isn’t a comb.
GO LOOK AT BIGLOTS
BIGSLOTS HAS ALOT OF LASH STYLIST!!!!!!!
I BOUGHT FOUR WOOO
FOR 2 BUCKS =]
Off I go to Big Lots! I hope the one near me has it!! I just recently ran out and searched for it everywhere! I can’t believe its been disappearing since April 09!! Its depressing
But I signed the petition so hopefully it will reappear! Until then, I pray Big Lots has it!!
Just an update from me: I started using L’Oreal Telescopic (Black carbon) and putting the Lash Stylist brush in it. I really like the formula and the non-clumpy look, it’s not as thick as Lash Stylist, but it’s pretty nice so far. Check it out!
OMG i def know what u guys are talking about. I found something that could kinda replace it. It is L’oreal volume shocking. It has a normal brush with some white volume thing, but the other brush is just like the lash sylist the only problem is that it does not have as much mascara in the tube. try it out and let me know what u think about it

actually, volume shocking was always my alternative, and then if not that (because of the price) it was max factor volume couture (not a comb tho). and guess what? max factor is going out of business and people are discontinuing selling volume shocking (idk if the product itself is being discontinued though) anywho its like OMFG what the hell am i supposed to do?! luckily i have about at least 2 old tubes of each, so i can try em out with other mascaras. but i will take in mind to try out the two mascaras recommended on here: cargos and bourjois. i can tell you right now that no other maybelline mascara will be like lash stylist (except maybe that Malaysian mascara ha) but yeah good luck to all!
another good alternative- avons super full mascara. not a comb but works well
Beautiful Makeup in this devushki.Where can buy takien wonderful things
I am sad too i want my mascara back what can we do?

ITS THE COMB!!!! =) THANK god i didnt throw mines away..just use it with other mascaras that itll fit in the tube!! =)
Thanks for the advice, Rachel! This is what I’ve suggested to my readers as well. Please keep the comb!
I’m in denial! I have continued looking for this amazing mascara, with absolutely no result
I have bought 6 mascaras since, from l’oreal to covergirl, and they all suck! I’m going to try Lancome’s Fatale mascara like you suggested. I really hope it works!
ti is
R.I.P lash stylist, old trusty, old pal, ‘bbf in a tube’
we will forever mis your intesity, there’s no loneth you wouldnt go, and your curves were to die for.
you will be missed but never forgotten,
sometimes i just wish you’d ‘comb’ home,
maybelline you have not heard the last from me!
i will not rest until, until i see lash stylist comfortably propt up on
a stand at my nearest store.
my lashes will never be the same, they all miss you x
Jillian, that was freaking awesome! That needs to go to Maybelline’s customer service department, stat! Don’t you guys agree???
Christmas Tree Shop had them tonight for $1.99 I only saw them in Brownish Black.
Well i guess I will join the RIP Lash Stylist Club. I was soosoosossoososo pissed (spent like 2 hours) in Wal-mart yesterday looking for it! and earlier in the week i was in CVS looking for it, nothing but that dang Stelletto (sp) idc to even spell it correctly. I have 2 combs that i will guard with my heart. My thing is how do we keep them clean and usable?
ok..this is perfect for a commercial! Why not just send this to Maybelline? Surely they would start making it again! I hate the Stilleto and I look like I have nothing on by the end of the day. Lancome I have used before but it is such a wet consistency and gets all over. Please read this Maybelline!
You may soak in alcohol for 5 – 10 min in a little cup.
kewl thanks!
also, i used a different mascara today with the Stylist Comb and wham thank you ma’am, it did pretty well. Save your combs ladies! Poo Poo on you Maybelline for rocking our worlds with this mascara frenzie! grughhhhh
I feell all of you im in search for it myself! I was afraid this would happen. Its the best i’ve ever used and I always got compliments on my long full lashes people would even ask me if I had false lashes on lol… I even got friends and family hooked on it. As a makeup artist I know a good product when i use it and this mascara did exactly what it said and more. I’ve tried soooooooo many mascaras out there and its sad that ALL of them are a dissapointment.
I’m a very, very sad girl without my mascara! I’ve used it for years! I can’t believe they would get rid of a product that was so awesome….
Well, I guess I can keep my fingers crossed… and try to look for a replacement.
