Clumpy and Brittle or Lengthened and Silky

Advantages: Lengthens, Thickens and Nourishes
Disadvantages: Bulky and Tested on Animals

...them. I bought L'Oreal Double Extension by mistake as I thought I was buying L'Oreal Lash Architect in the silver tube. As soon as I removed the wand from the packaging it seemed very bulky and with good reason as it is double ended. One end is black mascara with applicator and the other end is white mascara again with applicator. I almost returned it unused to Superdrug as the very idea of white mascara appalled me. However, the white mascara acts ...
...get the best results from L'Oreal Double Extension Mascara. I use my eyelashes curlers on clean lashes and then apply the primer to one set of lashes and within seconds apply the black mascara from the other end. This is fiddly and at first I got my hands covered in mascara as I forgot to turn the wand around. White mascara is difficult to see so beware of coating the lashes with too much as then the primer will go clumpy and consequently so will ...

Take your lashes to the E-X-T-R-E-M-E!!!

Advantages: Boostls up your lashes!!!
Disadvantages: None-at-all!!!

...boots and went to the L'Oreal section, where a lady who works there saw me looking through a shelf and placed on it was this mascara and also L'Oreal Paris Volume Shocking Double Mascara, which are both quite similar mascaras. So I asked for her advice and she told me that the L'Oreal Paris Volume Shocking Double Mascara was shaped as a comb so it would make your lashes bulky and stuck together (which also looks drop-dead-gorgeous, I'm not saying ...

I may sound like I am over-reacting but believe me it seriously looks like my lashes are fake and that they aren't even mine…I couldn't believe they were mine and neither did anyone else who saw me!!! I absolutely L-O-V-E this mascara, it's definitely the mascara for me and it's my number ONE make up product!!! A little about ...

Eyes like Clara the Cow

Advantages: Lengthens and defines lashes, good value for money
Disadvantages: Not clump-free

When I was at school, there was a girl in our class who we called Clara the Cow. This was a term of endearment, not an insult. The reason being that she had the most gorgeous long curly eyelashes. You see, Clara was also a cow in a nearby field who had long, lovely eyelashes. Whenever I look at beauty products for the eyes (mascaras, eyelash curlers, or eyeliners), my ambition is always to look as much as possible as Clara the Cow! As soon as I saw ...
...product that turned me into a bovine beauty! ** WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THIS MASCARA? ** You may have seen the adverts with Natalie Imbruglia waggling her fingers at you – “Don’t wimp out … It’s the power tool to make your lashes feel stronger and look 60% longer. Because you’re worth it” This is no ordinary mascara – it is a mascara with two brushes – one white and one coloured (in my case black). So what does this mean? * The white brush is a base ...

Double extension?

Advantages: makes lashes look dark
Disadvantages: clumpy, runs,hard to remove, sticks lashes together

...rights, i do know that L'Oreal are amongst the companies that still test on animals. Not suitable for the consciencious buyer. This is probably why it isn't irritating to the eyes at all, however. The only advantage i have found, is that it is very, very lengthening. For those with shorter lashes, as i found when i tried it out on a friend, it gives a big boost to the length, and can look good for a night out. In terms of how long the product lasts; ...
...weeks, has dried out a lot, making it even more clumpy and hard to apply. Whilst the mascara itself is quite big, it's short life time means it doesn't make it good value for money. It's also not particularly practical as it won't fit into that all-important undersized handbag. All in all, i wouldn't recommend this mascara unless you a) have too much money and b) have really, really short eyelashes and enjoy the clown look. ...

'Whatever happened to Baby Jane?'

Advantages: Excellent for short lashes.
Disadvantages: Hard to remove...

...neighbour informed me of the L'Oreal Double extension product she had purchased and hated...... so I could have this instead.Anything to oblige- and save a tenner , I decided to accept her offer. Her displeasure with the item was due to having long lashes in the first place, after using the L'Oreal product, her lashes felt 6inches longer!! Having barely any lashes myself, I thought yea, I will definitely give it a go. So, here we are a fortnight ...
...these enormous lashes, and before we could stop ourselves we just burst out laughing.Her response was of course to threaten us with 'Childline'. We didnt really mean to laugh, and neither is this a negative reaction to the product. Her eyelashes just dominated her whole appearance. Luckily for her she already has the most wonderful long thick lashes, so she wouldnt need this product now or ever. She reminded me of Bette Davis in the film 'Whatever ...

Loreal double extension mascara

Advantages: Thickens, lengthens and conditions lashes! All at once!!
Disadvantages: None!

I first bought this in boots for £9.99 and have loved it ever since. Unfortunately I wasn't blessed with long, thick eyelashes, but short stubbly ones, and this is the only product that I have found that makes a difference to them. It doesn't make my lashes go flaky and it lasts all day unlike most others. Design: This brilliant product comes in a thick tube with a nice design. At one end the product is white, which is the primer. At the other end ...
...in the middle with the brand and product name printed on it. Primer: This primer is really wonderful. My eyelashes are very short and ever since I was 12 I have been looking for a product good enough to lengthen and volumise at the same time without being clumpy. And then I found this. The white base coat really lengthens the lashes, whilst conditioning them at the same time, my eyelashes were twice as long as before application, and when the mascara ...

Mooooove over Daisy, its my turn!

Advantages: Lengthens, Smooth, Nice Packaging
Disadvantages: none..yet

...easy to spot on the L'Oreal counter as one end is gold and the other white. It actually has on the ends, 1 & 2 so you don't get them mixed up, although I havn't yet tried what happens if you do, does it look grey? Ok to any of those who does, please let me know? ~~Size~~ About 7 inches in size. ~~Price~~ Its quite pricy at £8.49, but cheaper than its rivals, e.g. Boujour, but well worth it! ------------------------------------------------------------ ...
...Ok, I have a few tips that I do to achieve maximum results. 1. The white stuff (base coat) really works, so try and apply this before you apply the black mascara. It lengthens and gives your lashes more definition. 2. First apply the mascara across the top of the lashes, even it out and then the bottom. Then dip you brush back in the bottle and concentrate applying the mascara on the outer lashes. It makes them look longer and curlier. ------------------------------------------------------------ ...

LONGER LASHES?.....YES PLEASE

Advantages: LONGER LASHES - NO CLUMPS
Disadvantages: MIGHT NOT FIT INTO SMALL DAINTY MAKE-UP BAG

I am a bit of a sucker when it comes to TV ads, particularly where make-up is concerned. I don’t rush out immediately to buy it, but if I'm out I tend to look for it. The product I’m going to review claims to make your eyelashes appear 60% longer! Yeah right, we’ll see! WHAT IS IT? It’s Double Extension Mascara from L’Oreal Paris. I’m going to do my best to describe it so bear with me, as it’s a lot different ...
...two large ‘bullet shape’ ends. One end is gold coloured and contains the mascara and the other is white, which is the Fortifying base coat. Both ends screw into a middle piece which houses both the brushes used for applying. It’s quite long in length, and is thick and chunky. WHAT DOES IT DO? Step 1. Ultra lengthening and strengthening base coat with ceramide R, strengthens and works in harmony with the lashes, which are enriched ...

fool to believe

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: clumpy

What a sucker I am believing in sales patter. What an even worse sucker I am for spending just under a tenner on mascara. I went into boots the chemist looking for something to extend my lashes, to make them look lush, long and seductive. Bad move. I was pounced upon by a sales assistant asking what I wanted. Having told her and listened to her patter, I reluctantly gave in. Fool that I am. What am I talking about Double Extension Mascara from ...
...people who wear contact lenses, into the bargain it is also fragrance free. This mascara is like a long tube 6 and a 1/2 inches. With two mascara compartments on each end. I truly, in my honest opinion cannot tell whether the one end of the casing is gold or silver, but I do know the other part is white. One end houses the white strengthening base coat, which coats your lashes in a white substance, a bit like an undercoat of paint. The other end ...

LOVELY LASHES

Advantages: long lashes
Disadvantages: takes time

I always like to try new things, and when I saw this advertised it sounded different and interesting, so when I was ready for a new mascara I looked for this one first I was nearly put off by the price it cost £9.99 from Boots. But in the quest for beauty I decided to disregard the price and give it a try, It comes in a gold and white double ended mascara wand (2 x 6ml tubes), It is much chunkier than other mascara wands. You use the white end ...
...ceramide R which they say fortifies your lashes. It also contains natural fibres(what these are exactly they don’t say) but they do say these adhere themselves to the lashes thus lengthening them. I feel the secret of getting the best results from this mascara is the application of the basecoat. The cream can go a bit clumpy if not carefully applied The way I apply it I remove the mascara brush clean off any excess by wiping brush against inside ...

Glad I had a £10 Boots voucher!

Advantages: does make lashes look longer, very dark colour, easy to apply
Disadvantages: makes lashes look clumpy, expensive

Being one of those people who buy the cheapest makeup out, I decided to try this mascara as I liked the idea of having the false lash effect (I'm crap with real falsies!) plus I got a gift voucher for Christmas so it was at no loss to me if I didn't like it. This mascara comes in a tube which is two thirds silver and one third white. The white end is "Fortifying Base Coat with Ceramide R" and the silver end is "Ultra-Lengthening Mascara" each containing ...
...tube is nicely contoured and easy to open. The actual brush heads are quite long but not really good quality, maybe a curved brush would add extra definition. The basecoat does not glide on very easily and lots of applications are needed. There was no real guidelines on my packaging to indicate how long to wait before applying the mascara. When the mascara is applied on the top of the basecoat, my lashes tend to clump together, making for unsightly ...

Are those your real lashes?

Advantages: I was asked if I was wearing false lashes!!!
Disadvantages: Can clump if your not quick enough

...good mascara-and now I have. L'oreal Double Extension mascara is double ended and has two wands. The first wand is a thick white base coat, this is fortifying and contains ceramide R so that your lashes are nourished-just using this product benefits your natural lashes. You apply the base coat in the same way that you apply mascara and the main aim is to thicken your lashes. Secondly you apply the mascara which is ultra-lengthening. Both of the wands ...
...thick, long, defined and nourished lashes which is what I was looking for, so I am not too bothered about the sometimes stubborn removal. The other day I was asked if I was wearing False lashes and I was happy to say that they were my own, Thanks L'oreal :) ...

Brilliant overall lashes!

Advantages: Great coverage and length
Disadvantages: Waterproof version is difficult to remove

I found this a great mascara. The white end really builds good lash definition, and the mascara itself then provides the colour and further lash building. Overall i have found it to do exactly what it says on the tin. It lengthens lashes whilst giving extra volume without clumps. I have never experienced any irritation with this mascara. The waterproof version works well, but is slightly difficult to remove. Instead of running off it comes off in ...
...of lashes at times. However, the normal version is easy to remove but provides a good performance throughout the day. I found this mascara much more effective than others I have tried with regards to building lash length with proportionate volume, and I still use the white end as it lasted longer than the black, along with other mascaras to improve their performance! ...

L'oreal Double Extension mascara

Advantages: Lengthens, curls and thickens.
Disadvantages: Doesn't last very long but it is very reasonably priced.

I love this mascara! I have quite sparse, light eyelashes that never want to curl, they are also quite short compared to most people (in other words, I have the worst eye lashes ever!). I have bought so many different mascaras, cheap ones, expensive ones and I had given up finding the perfect mascara because I didn't think it existed until I was bought this one for my birthday along with other make up. I was delighted with this mascara because it ...
...eyelashes long and full and I feel I have now found my perfect mascara, at last! The great thing about this mascara is you can just use the black end of the mascara if you don't want over the top eyelashes, maybe for in the day. For a night out, you can go mad! Put the white on, leave for a few minutes to dry then add more white and then put the black over the top for huge beautiful eye lashes. There is the normal version and also a waterproof version. ...

If you want cakey lashes try this!

Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: Cakes up lashes, not suitable for my sensitive eyes

...more. So really wasnt for me. I have tried other mascaras too by L'Oreal and I havent been too impressed by those either. The other disadvantage was my eyes were quite sensitive towards the product so if you have sensitive eyes I would say best avoid it. ...
