I’m back with another installment of Stealing the Spotlight. And, of course, it’s a product from Stila. I swear, I do use other brands (but what can I say? Stila makes awesome stuff!).
I made a quick stop at Ulta last week to pick up my beloved smudge stick (yes, from Stila). While I was there, I realized that I was almost out of mascara and I grabbed the two-step Voluminous Superstar from L’Oreal’s line (it will be making its way to the blog soon). Coincidentally, as I was at the counter paying for my purchases, I was gifted a travel size of Stila’s HUGE Extreme Lash Mascara to try.
Normally, I avoid expensive mascara. I think the drugstore brands work quite well, often better than their more pricey companions. You may recall that I’ve posted before about L’Oreal’s mascara line and I have been quite impressed with its quality and price.
{Before}
{After}
Since I was gifted this little travel size mascara, I had to test it out. Upon first inspection, I thought the brush looked slightly thick and clumpy. But like all of Stila’s products, I (and my lashes) ended up loving it. I didn’t notice a huge improvement in the length of my lashes, but I saw a drastic difference in the volume. The thicker brush made my lashes appear fuller — and made for easy application of even the smallest little lash. One or two coats should do the trick, or else the mascara will make your lashes clumpy. In terms of all-day wear, don’t worry, this product will stay on for as long as you need with no flaking or fading.
The verdict? Would I buy a full-sized version of this mascara for $23? Probably.
Have you tried Stila’s HUGE Extreme Lash Mascara yet?

Thanks, Kathrine! I was impressed with how full my lashes were after using this mascara.
I’ve recently been on the hunt for a different mascara so thanks for the recommendation! I’ve never tried Stila products before.

You’ll love Stila, Kate! They have amazing products, and are always the first brand I check when I need something. A bit pricey, but worth every penny, in my opinion.
Oh wow looks amazing! Love the results! I have not tried it but might now! Have a great Thursday!

Isn’t it?! It has definitely earned a spot in my makeup bag.
I definitely notice a difference in your lashes, they look longer and fuller! I’ve never tried Stila’s mascara, in fact, I don’t believe I’ve tried any of their products before! I have to check them out. I tend to go straight for the brands I already know, instead of browsing when it comes to makeup, which I need to do more of to discover new brands. Thanks for the review, I’ll have to check this one out the next time I’m at Ulta!

You are going to love Stila, Jalisa! I started with their Stay All Day Foundation and have been hooked ever since. I have yet to try one of their products that I really didn’t like. I’d love to hear your thoughts if you give the brand a try. Hope you’re ready for the snow!
Sold me on it girl!

Looks like really good mascara! Currently I’m using the Benefit Rollerlash which I’m not super in love with; might look into this one!

Definitely give this one a try, Alice! Or you could check out L’Oreal’s line. I’ve picked up a few very good ones from them for a fraction of the price. Good luck with your search!
