As I've said before, the one beauty product I can't do without is mascara. I really envy women who have long, curly eyelashes and sure, I could put on fake eyelashes, but that's just too high maintenance for me.

I've come to accept my short and thin lashes. It's not that big a deal anymore since I can play up my eyes with fun eyeshadow. Besides, I can just rely on mascara to create the illusion of long lashes, right?

I've been using Maybelline's Lash Stiletto for the past few months, and here's what I like about it:

It isn't clumpy. I don't have to use an eyelash comb to separate my lashes after applying the mascara.

It washes off very easily with soap and water

It does do its job of giving your lashes length

The packaging is very cute - it's shaped like a stiletto heel.

If you do need more volume in your eyelashes, this probably isn't the mascara for you. I also read a few reviews where women saying that this mascara has an odor to it. Maybe my sense of smell isn't as strong as other women, but I don't smell a thing when I apply it.

Here is what my eyelashes look like without mascara...


And here's what they look like after I apply Lash Stiletto...


Overall, I do like this mascara. It performed to my expectations.

(~$7) Available at Target, Amazon, and other retailers.
