After 100 years, Maybelline is still the # 1 Cosmetic Brand Globally...Every 1.5 seconds a Great Lash Mascara is being sold somewhere in the world

Maybelline Great Lash still number one after 42 years

Beauty hasn't changed much throughout the decades,  Girls still just want to have fun and it's always been fun wearing Maybelline Mascara.

Today Maybelline mascara - as always, is the number one mascara in the world - a tube of Great Lash mascara sells every 1.5 seconds somewhere around the world. Who would have thought a simple idea in 1915 would be the rage of women everywhere  a 100 years later.

Before Maybelline New York, there was the Maybelline Company.  Before the Maybelline Company, there was Maybell Laboratories.  Before Great Lash Mascara, there was Ultra Lash.  Before Maybelline there was Lash-Brow-Ine.  But no matter what - It all started with Tom Lyle Williams with his sister Mabel and brother Noel James Williams.

Read all about in in my fabulously outrageous book, The Maybelline Story and the Spirited Family Dynasty Behind It.

Sharrie Williams, author of “The Maybelline Story and the Spirited Family Dynasty Behind It” and a direct descendant of the Maybelline family, will be the guest speaker at the Brandeis National Committee, Phoenix Chapter’s Spring Fling luncheon at 11 a.m. Friday, April 25, at Orange Tree Resort, 10601 N. 56th St., Scottsdale.
