first impressions: stila huge extreme lash mascara


Though my all time favourite mascara comes from Cover Girl (The Super Sizer) and my more recent favourite comes from Cover Girl (the Lash Blast Cleantopia in Ultramarine Black)....there are a few mascara samples that I have been wanting to put to good use. One is the HUGE Extreme Lash Mascara from Stila. Curious about the formula? Keep reading to find out how it performs. 


The sample version of the HUGE Extreme Lash Mascara from Stila is 0.2 fl. oz. while the full size version is 0.44 fl. oz. The wand is fairly standard and flares out slightly on each end. According to the brand, this delivers "the biggest, boldest, blackest black lashes ever" and it is a lightweight, volumizing mascara that builds colour, and delivers a dramatic lash look. The brand also claims that it is possible to apply multiple coats of the product without the lashes feeling clumpy and that the mascara is suitable for contact lens wearers. Quite frankly, I love the idea of an ultra black mascara with lots and lots of drama. When it comes to lashes, my preference is as bold and over the top as possible without the use of false lashes. 

So, what are my first impressions of the Stila mascara? Does the HUGE Extreme Lash Mascara deliver on all of the promises? Eh! All in all, the mascara is decent. It adds a really nice amount of length to the lashes, so if length is what you are after, this might be one to consider. As for the rest, it isn't as impressive as I thought it would be. After all, there were claims of the boldest and blackest black lashes ever....and this is only okay. The colour isn't ultra rich and the finish isn't bolder than other mascaras that I've tried in the past. Don't get me wrong! This is a good mascara that offers lots of length. However, this is simply not something that lives up to the over inflated brand claims. The Stila mascara is good, but not great, in my opinion.

Have you tried the HUGE Extreme Lash Mascara? Are you a fan of other Stila products?

    Klingt nach einem guten Produkt in top Qualität. Wäre schön, wenn es die Mascara auch in braun geben würde. LG Romy

      Definitely! A brown mascara can be nice every now and then!

    I'm always on the lookout for mascara recommendations, so thank you for your review. That said, I haven't used any mascara for a week, as I'm having a problem with one of my eyes :-( xxx
