Hi Sharrie, I was an avid devotee of the Utlra
Big Ultra Lash waterproof mascara in velvet black. I used it exclusively for
YEARS until it was discontinued around 1999. Since then I have spent a small
fortune on numerous mascaras only to be severely disappointed with the mascara
AND the brush. While the next best substitute is Maybelline Great Lash mascara,
it doesn't quite live up to the UBUL. Is there ANY, way to reintroduce or
reformulate the original? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Many
thanks!

I truly feel as if your email today was heaven sent! Unfortunately, they are out
of stock at the moment and I am anxiously waiting their reply. Thank you so much
for taking the time to refer their website to me. PS - just came home from
shopping and the fresh peaches were on sail. I am going to try your Aunt Mabel's
recipe for peach cobbler. I saw a video link for you actually making it and it
looked delish! You made my day twice today, thank you.
After receiving several requests for Ultra Big Ultra Lash I'm happy to have some good news. Send your questions, reviews and personal stories to me to post on the Vintage Maybelline Book Blog.
“Maybe
it’s Maybelline”. Sometimes it’s good to get back to your
roots. I was recently on twitter and I started reading some of
Sharrie Williams tweets. Sharrie is the grandniece of Tom Lyle
Williams, who is the founder of Maybelline. It was perfect timing as
I needed a change in my makeup.
I purchased Maybelline’s
Black Mega Plush Volum’ Express Mascara. It
did exactly what it was suppose to – give me volume and length to
my eyelashes. The Mega
Plush Volum’ Express did
not smudge or run.
My eyes tend to water easy and it was nice not to
have black streaks under my eyes; as with other mascara’s. It also
did not clump together, which then causes my thin eyelashes to “cake”
together and when I try to separate them they either fall out or it
turns into one big clumpy lash.
Sorry, L’Oreal but I have tried
all of your mascara’s and have to say my lashes and your mascara’s
do not get along.
I also
purchased Maybelline Dream
Fresh BB 8-in-1 Beauty Balm Skin Perfector Medium Sheer. Who
has 8-in-1 Beauty Balm that doesn’t make your skin oily or worse
break out? Maybelline. When I say my skin is sensitive; let me
paint a picture for you. The moisturizer I use is medical grade as I
have tried just about all of them. If my skin has the slightest
change in makeup I break out or I get red and blotchy. Needless to
say I had a lot of drama/trauma in my teen years when it came to
makeup. Back to the story, I was hesitant but thought I would give
it a shot.
Insert angelic music here... it worked. I did not break
out and I even tried it without my moisturizer with no break out or
blotchiness. I did not get oily or shiny. I can wear it with or
without powder and I feel confident. I said sometime’s it’s good to get back to your roots. When I was a teenager I used Maybelline. When I “grew up” I started using other brands like Mac, Lancôme, etc. Who wants to pay $40 for Mascara every month? I don’t. I’m tired of paying $48 for my
Primer that I still have to wear with a powder.
I paid less than $20
for both products and am
S-A-T-I-S-F-I-E-D.
It paid off for me to
get back to my roots.
