Review: L'Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara

L'Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara

Claim(from L'Oreal Paris):

Get the look of salon lash extensions with the new Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara! This new lash extension effect mascara visibly lengthens your lashes up to an astonishing 80%.

Step 1: Ultra nourishing base coat infused with Ceramide R and D-Panthenol protects and strengthens lashes creating the

Step 2: Ultra-lengthening tube top coat sets to form lash-extending beauty tubes that visibly lengthen lashes to amazing new heights. Beauty tubes will not run, clump, flake or smudge and will stay on all-day.

Step 3: Beauty tubes remove easily with just warm water – no makeup remover or rubbing required!

Price: 3 out of 5; it cost almost $11 in most drug stores. A bit steep, I think. Wait for a BOGO!
Packaging: 3.5 out of 5; I like the color and feel of the packaging, but it's nothing special.
Performance:

• Volumizing: 2 out of 5;Lengthening: 5 out of 5; Defining: 5 out of 5
• Clumping 5 out of 5; Flaking 5 out of 5; Smudging 5 out of 5
• Fulfilling claims 5 out of 5

What I think: This mascara is excellent for length, definition, and some serious staying power. I have a bad habit of rubbing my eyes and, naturally, when I do that my mascara just flakes right of and smudges all over my eye. Yuck. But today, I tested this mascara. I rubbed my eye and it didn't budge. I rubbed it again. Seriously? It did NOT move! Also, the length is pretty darn amazing. I was very impressed. However, it doesn't add any volume, and I'm a girl who desires long AND full lashes. I'm particular on the full lashes, because my lashes have a bit of length already.

Overall 4 out of 5; It's a really excellent mascara but, personally, I need some volume in my lashes.




Giveaway! I have two of these, so I'm going to give one away. Leave a comment with your email address.

Tag: Hit Pan

This is taken from Xteeener's Hit Pan Tag / Giveaway. But I've already entered and I wanted to post this on my blog, too, for those of you who don't follow me on YouTube.


What are some products you've hit pan on?
Why did you hit pan?
Will you be purchasing again?

So, here are the products I've hit pan on:

Going clockwise: I see two Cover Girl compacts,
a Lorac Palette, a Max Factor compact, and
an ELF compact that's not looking too hot.

Let's open them up:

Again going clockwise:

• Okay, the first Cover Girl compact is Cover Girl Clean Pressed Powder in Creamy Natural. I bought this a loooong time ago. It's WAY too light for me, but it's perfect as a matte highlight on my face!
• This is a Cover Girl Tanfastic Bronzer in Soleil. It's a medium brown shade (as far as bronzers go) and has hint of shimmer that makes it perfect for the summer.
• Next is one of the first high-end things I ever bought. This is the Lorac Paparazzi Palette. For a long time this was the only blush I used. It's one of my darker blushes but it goes on so perfectly. Lurve it
• I use this Max Factor Silk Perfection makeup EVERY DAY! I love it! Although, when it's gone I'm going to try out some other things that I need to use up.
• This ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Luminance is something else that I use every day. I sweep it along my cheek bones before I put on blush to give a slight golden shimmer to my blush. It's not dark at all (or else I wouldn't be putting it on my cheek bones)

Okay, those are some things I've hit pan on! What about you? I actually don't have anything I've hit pan on because of it not being good, but I know that is the case for some people -- e.g., an eyeshadow that you had to apply a LOT for the color to really show up or a nail polish that you had to use 4-5 coats every time to avoid a VNL (Visible Nail Line). Hit pan does not have to mean an actual pan. The product could be lip gloss or nail polish (as mentioned above) that you ran out of for one reason or another.

Tagging: EVERYONE who reads this!!!

Oops, forgot some.
