Ok.. thousands, maybe millions of women were screaming, crying, and possibly vomiting over the discontinuation of Maybelline Lash Stylist mascara. My blog was infested with housewives, teens and makeup junkies of all kinds around the globe, in search of their favorite comb-wand mascara.
Ok.. so are you sitting? Maybelline has most likely brought Lash Stylist back, but redesigned and slapped a new name on the package: Volum’ Express Hypercurl Cat Eyes Mascara is born.. and I am totally having kittens over this! Especially wondering how the hell I didn’t know about it and it’s been out since freaking May.
Oh, Maybelline.. did you think you could fool us by relaunching and remarketing our product? We’re pissed that you tricked us, but yes, we are still going to buy the son-of-a-bitch mascara because we loved it THAT MUCH. It’s the same comb and hopefully, the same formula. Will we be able to sleep at night?? NO.. because just like the rest of the products I fall in love with, this may be gone in time, too. I have no idea yet where to purchase this online since I have not seen it yet. I JUST found out. If it’s been out since May, why can I not find it online? Is this also discontinued.. again? What is going on?
Update: This mascara is apparently only available in Malaysia. I am still waiting to hear more.
Please post your thoughts!!!

Bad Review for Maybelline Lash Stiletto
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.
