I have been using this mascara on and off for years and it is still one of my favorites. It gives me great length without being clumpy. A great everyday mascara. I havent seen it for a while though. I would like to know if it is still around.

Maybelline Illegal Length Mascara.
This is a good mascara, it definitely lengthens your lashes with the fibres. The fibres however aren't visible within the formula which is great as it leaves a natural finish.
Lasts all day, doesn't crumble off, nice and black and easy to remove.
The brush is a nice size and length, not to fat so easy to control. The tube has a squared off shape which is fairly boring in plain silver with pink text.
My go to mascara currently.
Tips: I do find this mascara dries up and doesn't work to its full potential after awhile so replace regularly.
I actually enjoy this mascara, brought it for $10 at a Big Bucket sale, and it works perfectly. I still need to use my eyelash curler before I use this mascara, but it does give my eylashes alot of length and doesnt make my eyelashes all clumpy and ugly. :)
I really like this mascara! It holds a curl and makes a definite difference in the length and thickness of my lashes! The brush takes a little bit of working with to achieve the look i want, and sometimes i do run a clean mascara wand through my lashes to 'flutter out' my lashes. It's not a mascara I go for if i don't have time to work with it, but if i have the extra time, I'll reach for this.
Tips: Patience is the key.
I like this mascara but not for the reason I probably should. I don't find it particularly lengthening but it is a nice mascara that doesn't clump and is easy to apply. I would use it again for those reasons but if I was really looking for a lengthening mascara I would probably try something else.
I found this product to lengthen my lashes by a great amount and separate my lashes on a scale out of 10 a 5 out of 10. This mascara does not hold a curl, it was still exiting to see the fiber extensions work. I do like the brush but I feel that the application would be a lot easier if the brush was a plastic spiked brush instead of a swirled fiber brush
Tips: After a applying this mascara brush through with a clean mascara brush just to give it that extra separation. Also curl your lashes after you've applied the mascara
I bought this recently from Farmers. I usually switch up my mascara each time as I still haven't found my favourite. Also it is a reasonably cheap way to try something new. I picked up this one as I find Maybelline ones are pretty reliable. I bought this in the waterproof formula as I often get a wee bit of smudging on my top lid. Also as this mascara has fibres in it for length I thought the waterproof would be good to keep things together better.
I like the packaging as it is long as slim, great for travelling. The brush on this isn't a plastic one, more of a fibre one, and it has a twist in it which is great for grabbing the lashes. It is quite a thin brush though so makes for getting to your inner lashes really easy. I do find the brush quite long so it does make it a wee bit harder to get to the inner lashes.
The formula of this is quite wet which I really like, means that you can coat your lashes quite easily. It has wee fibres in it to lengthen your lashes which I like. They claim 3 to 4mm which I don't believe but I do think they do add a wee bit. I like in particular though that it adds a bit of volume to my lashes as well. Sometimes with fibre mascaras there can be fall out of the fibres, I didn't find this at all with this mascara.
This creates a nice natural sort of look that I love for everyday, it accentuates each individual lash rather than clumping them together. This is my favourite mascara since the L'Oreal Telescopic original. But I have the EOH mascara waiting next so we will wait and see!
UPDATE: When you have had this for a while the packaging starts to wear. The silver coating comes off onto your hands. This sucks when you get it on your hands/face as it is hard to get off. Not impressed as I'm only in month two.
This was a favourite mascara for me last year. It hardly clumped and my lashes looked awesome. I work 12 hours shifts and a lot of the time I'm getting sprayed with water but the mascara lasted until I removed it at the end of the day. Great go to mascara. Maybe not dramatic enough for night time.
This product definitely does add length to your lashes with its fibres. However it's very hard to achieve this while also getting it to look natural. One swipe - so so, no real extra volume or curl but does look fine. Two swipes you start getting more length but also issues with clumping and the more you play with it the worst it gets. So personally I'd rather stick to something I can't make a mess of.
I find this mascara ticks all the boxes: Lengthening - tick Evenness - tick Stand out lashes - tick Great brush - tick I find it easy and quick to use and it's one of my top 3 mascaras. Definitely will buy this one again when I run out
