MAYBELLINE - Illegal Lengths Fiber Extensions Washable Mascara 930 Blackest Black - 0.22 fl. oz. (6.5 ml)

Product Information

Although this product is meant to lengthen lashes, I found that they are other products out there that I reach for more frequently when I'm looking for long lashes. Instead, I use this product on its own whenever I need my makeup to last without smudging, or I layer it on top of a different lengthening mascara to make sure everything stays in place all day long. Where the Maybelline Illegal Length Fiber Extensions Mascara is Available Illegal Length® Fiber Extensions Washable Mascara delivers longer-looking lashes for dramatic eye looks.

Though mascaras often get clumpy when you apply multiple coats, this is a non-issue with Lorac. The brand's fiber formula offers flexible, buildable volume and noticeably fuller, false-look lashes.

Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2020;17(18):6811. doi:10.3390/ijerph17186811 Well, needless to say Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara was on my DO NOT WANT list of mascaras. This is a fiber extension mascara so it extends lashes using tiny little fibers. As its name suggests, Maybelline Illegal Length delivers visibly longer lashes. The fiber-infused formula not only coats each hair but also builds onto the tips to create the look of eyelash extensions.I’ll sound clueless, but fiber masacaras can be taken off with water only ? No need for makeup remover ? I have to admit, I might be the only girl to not wear mascara because I lose lashes when I take it off ! sealing formula stretches the appearance of lashes and securely seals fibre-enriched formula to every lash. And these things really are so long with this mascara that I can’t wear my new glasses. The lashes brush against the inside of the lenses and leave little smudges behind. They drive me crazy. The brush is a straight line with bushy bristles, no plastic applicator here! The brush seems handy enough for pulling lashes up and out and surprisingly does well with curl as well. As I pull my lashes out with the brush it twists up nicely to curl the lashes upward.

I seriously love this mascara, even though it seems to fall a tad flat after the 12 hour mark. First, it is not goopy coming out of the tube, which is unique for a fiber filled mascara. When applying, my lashes immediately just pop. The new length and added volume are immediately apparent. Best of all- it doesn’t clump on itself! I can apply 2 coats without issues. I don’t need to use a lash brush either. Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara Is Just About a Misdemeanor / Originally published January 8th, 2012 There are 26 comments on this post. Leave yours. Maybelline recommends extending your lashes upward from the root to the tip of the lashes using the fiber-fix brush. They also say not to let the mascara dry in between coats, and that only a few swipes are necessary. They recommend removing the product with an oil-free eye makeup remover. I do see a little extra length there, maybe a millimeter or two, but the difference is not as dramatic as my go-to lash lengthener of the day, Urban Decay Cannonball. Hi Christine!! Thanks so much for your blog, I love reading it. It is such a guilty pleasure but I can't help it. I am definitely a product junkie too.When selecting a fiber mascara we suggest looking for a vegan formula that’s free of potentially harmful ingredients like phthalates and formaldehyde . Since fiber mascaras are more prone to flaking—and thus potentially entering your eye—you'll want to be very mindful of the ingredients. The key is to start at the base of your lashes and slowly wiggle the brush from the roots to the ends until fully coated. From there, you can add a few more coats for a dramatic finish.

I love Maybelline Illegal Length mascara. Someone might want to get a notary here so I can sigh a document stating I actually, technically wrote those words out loud because 1. it’s rare I admit to liking drugstore mascara (I haven’t found many to rave) and 2. fiber mascaras is devil made sent to torture poor, defenseless souls like myself. Dean and Sam go to battle with fiber making mascara demons daily…seriously, true story. Well, THAT won’t work!” I grumbled to myself as I set to work putting it on, but actually, I couldn’t have been more wrong, because holy wow, this does EXACTLY what it claims to do, lengthening the lashes and also curling them gently upwards, for an even more dramatic effect. I’ll be honest: I was totally surprised by just how good it was. How does this product compare to other drugstore mascaras?Diorshow has many devoted fans, and for good reason. This iconic mascara now contains silk protein and nylon microfibers to strengthen and lengthen, while the beloved jumbo brush offers buildable volume.

Have you tried Almay? I am the most allergic person on the face of this earth (no, REALLY!) and it works well for me. Thanks for reviewing this! I’ve been staring at it every time I go to the drugstore and debating and debating. With such a good review, will definitely give this one a try! Ok, the line about needing “a heavy equipment license” to operate mascara made me spit wine at my computer screen! Fenty's Full Frontal mascara is infused with nylon to pump up the volume and add length while keeping your lashes flexible. The unique formula and flat-to-fat brush also offer sculpted definition and sky-high curl.Sealing Formula visibly stretches lashes and seals the fibers securely to each lash without flaking or breaking I’m a fan of adding length with mascara, but when I have to be careful which pair of glasses I wear with a mascara… You know a lot of length was added! Meet the new Maybelline mascara that can only be used with my Coach glasses. When the mascara arrived, I was a bit disappointed to find that it was an “all in one” product, unlike Better Than False Lashes, which comes in two separate tubes: one for the mascara, one for the fibre extensions. Illegal Length, by contrast, has the fibres mixed in with the mascara itself, so there’s just one tube, and you apply it exactly as you would any regular mascara. Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog! My name is Karen, and I’m a freelance writer obsessed with makeup. Strangely enough, I never published on Lash Stiletto. Hmmm…. wonder how that happened! I used to have it, I'll be sure to review it soon, I'll probably go buy a new one.
