ULTRA BIG ULTRA LASH UPDATE FOR ALL THOSE WISHING TO HAVE IT BACK..

I finally found the Ultra Big Ultra Lash Mascara on Ebay and paid $29.99 for it. It is the ONLY mascara that keeps my lashes curled and soft. Maybelline Great Lash is awful, I makes lashes hard and brittle and does not keep the curl! I called Maybelline after receiving my Ultra Big Ultra Lash because my lashes now look like they did when I was 25 because of this mascara. WHY did Maybelline discontinue??? WHY?? PLEASE bring it back! It's selling for $50.00 to $75.00 per tube on the Internet! PLEASE! Pamela. MAYBELLINE ULTRA BIG ULTRA LASH MASCARA


Helen Tanguay February 19, 2013 6:20 pm I agree with all lovers of this mascara. I have used it as well, since my teen years and never had need to give it up till it was sadly discontinued. It was the best ever mascara of all time for me. Went on perfectly with no globs or clumps...smoothly, evenly, naturally and it kept the curl. It lengthened beautifully as well. I received so many compliments way back when, on my eyelashes. The brush was the best design ever. I HATE those big fat brushes out there that don't allow any control whatsoever. I have never been happy with any mascara since, (and I have been searching for over 20 years. PLEASE bring it back! on MAYBELLINE ULTRA BIG ULTRA LASH MASCARA

I was more than disappointed when I was unable to find this mascara. I was just telling my 3 daughters this morning, on the way to school and they were apply mascara, talking about their new mascaras. Yes, they all use something different and have their favorites. Well be the stay at home mom with no makeup on, yet, I had to chime in on the fact that there's not a mascara in the world that could touch UBUL! I have used it since I started wearing makeup and when they stopped making it, I went to every store buying up all they had. For over 10 years now I have tried every brand and every brands type! Still to this day 1/20/2013 NO SUCCESS! Now the girls are like "mom, try to see if they have repackaged it under a different name, you know Google it". So I did and came across this site. PLEASE tell me they will bring this back or sell the recipe for it to a brand that will! Robin Pierce, Atlanta GA onMAYBELLINE ULTRA BIG ULTRA LASH MASCARA

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.




I'm thinking of doing a poll here on the Maybelline Book Blog to see if enough people would like me to petition Maybelline New York to bring back "Ultra Big Ultra Lash Mascara"  leave me a comment below if you want it back.

HARPER'S BAZAAR, BEST MASCARAS OF ALL TIME?

                Best mascaras of all time

                       By Kari Molvar,
                       Harper's Bazaar

Some women go to serious lengths to avoid leaving the house with bare lashes (and then only with dark sunglasses on). That all-important flick of mascara frames your face, pulling together your entire look in a few strokes.

So which trusty wands have inspired the most devotion among the lash pack? Here,

      BAZAAR reveals the definitive list.


        Maybelline Great Lash Mascara

          
                       Why we love it:
This classic drugstore mascara has been thickening lashes since the ‘70s with its signature, easy-to-handle narrow wand and clump-free formula that resists smudging but washes off in a cinch.

   Iconic status: completely deserved.


Check in tomorrow and view - part one - of my interview with Steve Snyder of Vault Cars.  We will be discussing, Maybelline Icon, founder, Tom Lyle Williams, classic, 1940 Packard Victoria.

Maybelline Girl transforms her image to fit the times.

In 1916 the original Maybelline Girl was modest and shy, captivating the public with her long luxurious dark eyelashes.  

By 1932 a more confident Maybelline Girl opened her heavily made-up eyes, donned a Marcel wave and looked like she meant business.  

The Perfect Mascara

Women even during the depths of the Great Depression wanted their pale scanty lashes instantly transformed into the appearance of long, dark luxuriant fringe with Maybelline Mascara - and there was no turning back.


                      "We've Come A Long Way Baby,"


and like  the Maybelline Company it was just the beginning of a wild ride.


Another First for Maybelline when Tom Lyle decided to come out with a new and improved image of his original Maybelline Girl, making her a modern symbol of the times.

Nana's MUD, is a secret from the Harem.

Nana's, Secret from the Harem.  An old fashioned Mud-Pack, for radiant skin.



Nana in 1917 at 16 years old.

                                 

I have been asked to give another one of Nana's beauty secrets and I know she'd be thrilled that people are interested in her potions today.  All my young life, Nana preached about having beautiful skin.  "Sharrie," she'd say "the first thing people notice is your eyes and your skin, and you only get one chance at a first impression."  Nana believed that your skin was your "calling card," and either draws people to you or sends them away. 

      I can still see her mixing up a batch of  "mud" as she called it, while I sat in wonder as a little girl.  She'd mix a couple of tablespoons of rice flour, a capsule of vitamin E, a little rosewater and enough yogurt to make it the consistency of putty.  Next she'd smear it all over her face and neck, lay on the floor sometimes on her hydroculators and rest her legs on a chair so the blood would flow in reverse, and relax her tired muscles.

Now this wasn't a Kodak moment and few people ever had the pleasure of witnessing this "secret of the Harem," but I never forgot it. To this day I refuse to buy over the counter skin masques, because there is nothing better than Nana's Mud.  It brings the blood to the surface and feeds the skin with nutrients.  By the way it's funny that her son, my dad Bill, called his mother MUD!  Give it a try and let me know what you think.  If you want to know more about Nana, buy my Book right now on Amazon, kick back and enjoy the full spa treatment, while reading "The Maybelline Story."
