Amazing! My new favorite Mascara! It lengthens. The color very black is indeed very black! washes off without a hassle. Does not clump. So far its getting an A+ for me. Will update if my mind changes.

This mascara really works for me. I get zero flaking and smearing. It applies easily and quickly and my lashes look so much longer than they really are. I was in love with LashBlast, but this is my new favorite.

I like the long thin brush and the formula is slightly more liquid than most. This makes the application so easy and clump-free. It found tiny lashes in the corners of my eyes that other mascaras missed. Totally worth the price.

I can't believe I'm reviewing the same mascara as the rest of the reviews here. I just adore it, I'd give it a 10 if I could. The brush is perfect, long and thin, tapering towards the tip. The formula is amazing. I curl my lashes, apply one coat and my lashes go sky high. On the second coat I get even more length, plus volume with no clumping. Apart from my beloved Guerlain Lengthening & Curling Mascara, this is the best I've ever used. I highly recommend.

I brought this product because i heard that there was a lot of hype about but honestly i wasn't worth it. got it at ulta for like 8.99 it gives good length but that's about it whenever i put it on my eyes they start to tingle like they're about to get irritated and the smell makes me want to vomit it's supposed to smell like roses but they messed up on that to would i buy again probably not.

I liked this mascara. No clumps, lengthened well.
BUT it flakes.
Flakes, flakes, flakes after only a couple hours.
I won't buy it again.

I agree with yolanda6 on this one... used alone this made my lashes spikey and clumped together... it did lengthen them but did not give any volume... I use this AFTER I use another volumizing mascara... (depends on what I grab) after that coat I use this to lengthen my lashes and it does perform...

Stiletto by itself leaves a lot to be desired but use it with LashBlast and you will be surprised at how wonderful the results are!

I LOVE this mascara! I wouldn't have tried it but my husband put it in my stocking this year and wow! I have long eyelashes anyway, so im not sure how this works on average eyelashes but it looks like I have fake lashes on when I wear this. no lie! I am so in love with it. It makes my eyes look huge! I will deffinately make this a staple! The only reason it gets 4 out of 5 is because it has a really weird smell to it. I cant even explain it. Its REALLY strong though.

The search still not over - but this one ok, too. They all are "ok" ... I am still waiting for my socks to be knocked off. I do like a lot about this - it's a pretty tube, the brush is awesome - it really separates the lashes. I love that it does not make my lashes crunchy and hard. It lasts just fine. Normal smudging after a day's wear. Overall, this is a fine mascara just nothing exceptional. I will say it is better than most high-end mascaras that I have tried. To me, that is one market that the high end has not conquered. The cheap stuff as far as mascara is concerned is better than the expensive. This, for example, is WAYYYY better than say, Diorshow. Anyway, overall, it's fine, not a waste of money but the search goes on ...

I find that it is an average mascara. It does, however, give me length. No volume. Doesn't clump & the packaging is attracting. BUT, I will not be buying this mascara. Doesn't really do much that other mascaras don't offer or claim to do. Ha.

I saw this in a couple of magazines, and after spotting it at Target for $6.99, thought I'd give it a shot. As other reviewers have described, the packaging looks like a black stiletto heel, and the bottom is a red "tip."

Now, onto the mascara. The packaging promises dramatic lengthening and a patent leather finish. Well, I got this in the Blackest Black, and I can tell you that my lashes were no more "patent" or glossy than any other black mascara. It has a long, skinny brush with hard bristles... Kind of reminds me of Lancome Definicils brush, but longer. Also, I don't know if I just got a defective batch, but the brush was slightly angled/bent, like not perfectly straight on the wand.

I didn't experience dramatic lengthening, though granted I have very short lashes. I did use 3 coats, though, and didn't find that it lengthened more than other other mascara I've used. I feel like the L'Oreal lengthening one (the one in the skinny goldish tube that has been around forever) lengthens better.

As for the scent, yes, it does share the same waxy-rose scent that Colossal has, so if that irritated you, this might, too.

Overall, a decent mascara. The only strength is that it's good at separating the lashes. In general, though, this is too natural for me.

I really like this mascara. It lengthens very well. It's not great for volume, but can be layered without clumping. I use 2-3 coats and am very happy with how it lengthens my lashes.

Well i have used this a couple of times and i think i really like it! I LOVE how it keeps my eye lashs staying soft, i HATE crunchy /hard lashs. i put on about three coats and they still stayed soft. they make my lash pretty long and with about two coats to three makes them pretty thick. i like thick dramatic lashs and after two or three coats this does it for me. i like this a lot. THE NUMBER ONE THING I also LOVE how this has conditioners in it that nourishes your lashes, i have actually noticed that since i started using this and whenever i dont wear mascara that my eye lashes look longer and thicker.. whenever you wash it off you also dont loose any eye lashes, like with a lot of mascaras you do...its pretty easy to get off to with soap and water. i think this might be my new mascara we will see though with more use!!

I bought this then returned it!!!! I really wanted to like it- sleek packaging etc. But it flaked big time after only an hour or so. I don't think it thickens very well either, it made my lashes thin, wispy and oddly clumped together. I'm always able to separate my lashes with a tiny comb, but even after I did that it still flaked. Save your receipt!!! You may want to return it.....

I loved Lash Blast, and this beats it. It creates lots of length, not so much volume. I use this and Maybelline Colossal over top and have length and volume. I had no flaking or smearing. This is new HG for me.

I have a hard time with using non-waterproof mascara since it seems to always make my curled lashes straight, but I have been looking for a non-waterproof that won't do this since it is gentler on your lashes. I bought this on a whim after hearing someone rave on the makeup board about it not making your lashes droop. I am yet again, let down by another mascara. I think the formulation is similar to MAC's dazzlelash, and is supposed to give you glossy lashes with length. Both of these mascaras still made my curled lashes straight! I did however like the size of the brush, it is pretty long but somewhat skinnier which helps me not get the mascara everywhere but my lashes. I will keep trying this mascara, but so far I'm not impressed.

I picked this up because the name intrigued me, and that was a mistake. I'm pretty sensitive to scents, and the rose fragrance of Lash Stiletto is quite strong - I could swear I can still smell this fifteen or twenty minutes after application. I'll get to the performance of the mascara soon, but the scent is overwhelming me, to the point that I'm overlooking the actual product - which is actually not bad.




It doesn't give off a shiny finish, but it does lengthen nicely, especially with a primer underneath. It's a little wet, but not like Great Lash, and I haven't experienced clumping or flaking. For $7 CDN (on sale), it's not bad, but I won't repurchase. I'll stick to NYX Doll Lash or Maybelline's Full and Soft.

So this was tricky for me. I didn't like it at all on my upper lashes, but it's by far the best I've ever used for lower lashes. It separates and defines them. That being said, I have fickle to eyelashes that on a good day get me people asking if they are fake and complimenting me on them. On a bad day they don't keep a shape and just all around suck. This didn't make them look bad but it didn't give me *wow* length. I will probably repurchase as a bottom lash mascara.

I love this as much as I like the Maybelline Colossal mascara. Two thumbs up! This lengthens beautifully, separates, and never clumps. No volumizing, but it doesn't claim to do that. I got the blackest color, but I didn't really notice a shiny finish. I don't know if I would repurchase this because I love to buy and try new mascaras, but I would definitely recommend this.
