L'Oreal Le Grand Curl Mascara

I have come to the long thought out & insightful conclusion that “Life isn’t fair”. I spend countless hours and pounds trying to make the face I was born with look gorgeous. Yet my boyfriend can just go out of the house without a care in the world. To add insult to injury, he has these gorgeous long eyelashes that daisy the cow would be proud of. I, on the other hand, have to deal with short eyelashes that aren’t even the ...
...have bought my fair share of mascaras. Last year, I succumbed to the trend of mascaras that curl your eyes for you, in theory removing the need to use those painful looking eyelash curlers. I purchased a black L’Oreal Le Grand Curl mascara that claimed to have a special protein, which causes the eyelash to visibly curl. I found to my dismay that the mascara only seemed to curl the eyelash a little bit, leaving me to resort to using my eyelash ...

Review of L'Oreal Le Grand Curl Mascara

At the tender age of 18, only a few years ago (ahem!) I decided that I no longer wanted to look like I’d got the bottoms of a couple of heavy density milk bottles attached to my face, so took the plunge and made an appointment to visit the local approved contact lens practitioner. The thing that really spurred me on this decision was a rapidly approaching holiday, the first without the parents..wahay!! The last thing I wanted to do was laze ...
...not, flip up shades attached to my specs! Definitely not pulling gear! So throwing caution to the wind, along with the aforementioned shades I strolled along for my appointment. I won’t go into everything that happened from that day forth, although I did run into several lamp posts and brick walls as well as pedestrians the fist time I went out with the trial pair of lenses in, but that is another story! As I mentioned at the start of this ...

Review of L'Oreal Le Grand Curl Mascara

While this is a reasonably average kind of mascara, which performs its function, the advertising claims that it will do far more than this, and this is simply not the case. The claim that you can dispense with eyelash curlers as a result of using this mascara is not accurate, and as far as thickening lashes goes it is poor in comparison to L'Oreal's Voluminous mascara. The bottle is small and I found that it dried up quickly, making it extremely ...

Review of L'Oreal Le Grand Curl Mascara

I know a lot of people who have used this product and have found that its no good. Personally though I have found it a lot better to use than many other brands that I have used. It does not curl your lashes as good at the advert claims to but there is certainly some curling. It is not the cheapest mascara around but when you apply it you can tell that it is a lot better than many of the cheaper brands. It is thick and is quite rich but it does not ...
...Your lashes are also not dried out and are kept soft yet strong. It last throughout the day without crumbling under your eyes giving you that great 'I havent slept for days' look!! I have used both the dark brown and black and have found that they are both as good as each other. This is a good mascara on its own terms but you will be dissapointed if you are expecting it to curl your lashes. ...

Review of L'Oreal Le Grand Curl Mascara

...true and I agree that L'Oreal was not really honest about that point. However with a little help, I have found that it gives a very nice curl to the lashes that not only last for a WHOLE day but doesn't make you panda eyes either. Here you go for my special secret trick : sit at table with your elbows on it and your hands upwards. Apply 1 or 2 coats then roll tissue around your indexes to protect them. Put your indexes gently just under the upper ...

Review of L'Oreal Le Grand Curl Mascara

L'Oreal Le Grand Curl mascara may be pricier than alot of the other mascaras available, but for those of us that either have very light lashes and/or short lashes, this is a must. I initially thought the promised "longer, curlier lashes" statement was a ploy to get us all running out to buy it, but I do find it actually works. My lashes look noticeably longer with a couple of applications. It also is easy to apply and does not clog. The only disadvantage ...

Review of L'Oreal Le Grand Curl Mascara

You will have read a few opinions saying that this dosent work but I have to say, it does work on my lashes. The product claims to curl your lashes,which it does,but maybe just not as much as you might expect. The mascara does hold the curl there all day if you use and eyelash curler and then use this. You can buy it in black,brown,blue and the same colours in water-proof. You can tell the mascara is better quality then cheeper brands as it does ...
...It never makes your lashes clumpy and they always look long and seperate and stay that way all day. You can buy this mascara for Boots,superdrugs,and some supermarkets and it is usally priced around £5. The packaging is really pretty and the tube seems to last quite a while. If your looking for a new mascara I would recomend this or mabelline full and soft which I have also wrote and opinion on. Hope I helped, Amy xxx ps feel free to leave ...

Review of L'Oreal Le Grand Curl Mascara

...farse! I bought the L'Oreal Le Grand Curl Mascara to see if it would instantly curl my lashes without the aid of the good ole fashioned lash-curler. I was very disappointed. I shall say I have extremely blonde eyelashes, which are very fine and of medium length but I do have many although they are fine. I found it to be clumpy and it did curl them slightly, but just the same amount as other mascaras do. I wasn't satisfied and would never buy another ...

Review of L'Oreal Le Grand Curl Mascara

...were also branded as "curling". L'Oreal have done a really good job here. I always take time over my mascara and apply a number of coats, and this mascara is really successful at lifting my lashes. It's nowhere near as dramatic as it is on the TV and it takes a few coats to get the full effect, but whenever I try another mascara my large eyes look small and closed-up in comparison. L'Oreal's Le Grand Curl mascara really is the best I've tried. Have ...

Review of L'Oreal Le Grand Curl Mascara

Fed up with catching my eyelids in eyelash curlers and always eager to save time on make up application, I decided to give Loreal's Le Grande Curl mascara a go. It promised me I would be able to throw away my eyelash curlers because due to its new wonder technology it contains an ingredient which curls the lashes itself. This is one advertising gimmeck I have to agree with, I have long dark lashes anyway and therefore the most important things I ...
...consistancy as my lashes get tangled easily during application. This mascara has definitely become the most essential item in my make up bag. It seperated my eyelashes perfectly and aplication was really easy. When applying two coats of mascara lashes can often clog, but with this mascara I was able to build them up brilliantly. I certainly wont be leaving home without it, well worth the price. ...

Review of L'Oreal Le Grand Curl Mascara

I have been dying to try this mascara for ages. Now that i have, im a little disappointed. First of all it was quite expensive and did not last very long. It comes in a lovely "curled" bottle and thats the best thing about it. I found that it did not curl my lashes as well as proclaimed and it was quite runny. You need a couple of coats for a good effect. Because this is a lash curling mascara i thought that it would save me time in the morning but ...

Review of L'Oreal Le Grand Curl Mascara

So I saw the ad, believed the hype, bought the mascara. It is a piece of s--t. Believe me, you don´t want to buy this product. It does NOT deliver. I´ve been had, and I´m so mad! In the ad, the woman (who obviously has false lashes, too) just applies this and her lashes curl without any other outside help. HA HA. I tried it again and again, and absolutely nothing happened. To add insult to the injury, when I curled my lashes in the usual way and ...
...and straighter than usually. If I could get my money back, I would do it this instant. My message: DON´T BOTHER. Rather cast your extra money on the street. I hate it. It isn´t very good mascara even if you don´t remember the promises + the hype. ...

Review of L'Oreal Le Grand Curl Mascara

I bought this product after all the hype on tele and in the mags, hoping that it would plump up my lashes... well it was not to be, all this product did for me was basically 1) it clump my lases together and game them a dry look 2) it run when my lashes got wet this product certainly does not deliver, in fact this product isnt even very cheap so i dont think that this is something you should invest your money in its only redeeming feature is ...

Review of L'Oreal Le Grand Curl Mascara

I am currently using L'oreals Le Grand Curl mascara. I thought i would give it a try as i usually use their thickening mascara which i really liked so thought i;d try this to see if it worked!! At first i wasn;t convinced that it worked, as unlike the thickening mascara it dosn;t thicken the lashes as much, which was a little bit disappointing but it does actually lift the lashes and it lasts all day it is late in the afternoon now and they still ...
...stated waterproof i have had tears with this and the mascara has stayed put!!! Also fine with contact lenses and easy to cleanse off. It comes with a very nice brush not too thick like some, priced at around the price of their other mascaras this is well worth a try if you haven't already done so. ...

Review of L'Oreal Le Grand Curl Mascara

If you have lots of time to apply this mascara it is great for curling your lashes and looks great but you have to be really careful with it as it cloggs up your eyelashes really easily. Definately not the mascara to buy for day to day use as to achieve the best result you have to have a lot of time on your hands which for most people is not the case. The curling effect really does work though and your lashes look brilliant after applying. The ...
