    2 Stars Not-so-extravagant lashes 09/03/2010
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Nice packaging

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The brush

    A few months ago, armed with a £5 off No7 voucher and the additional incentive of an in-store 3 for 2 offer, I decided to make my way to Boots and purchase this mascara. Without the offers, this mascara would have cost £11.50 in most Boots (though some of the bigger inner London branches seem to charge more though the product is the same, with the price being £12, something I'm not very pleased about) which I think is quite a lot for a mascara and way too much for this one. Let me explain why... The packaging: Despite the negative tone with which I am writing this review, the packaging of the ... more

    1 Star An Extravagant Waste Of Money! 07/10/2011
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages none

    Disadvantages Disadvantages clumpy, colour choice, price, tube, wand, doesn't deliver what it promises

    No7 is a Boots own range of skin, make up and other beauty products. Mascara No7 offer quite a number of mascaras promising to do different things to your peepers. Extravagant Lashes mascara was released a few years ago and there was a lot of hype around it. Unfortuantely, many users haven't been happy judging by the negative reviews of this mascara! No7 claim this mascara will have a "curling effect" on your lashes for 8hours and 7 x volume. The mascara contains polymer which apparently lifts and sets your lashes. The mascara is available in 3 shades - black, black/brown and navy. The mascara ... more

    1 Star Do not blink or sneeze for a while after applying this! 21/08/2011
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Can't think of one!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Messy, brush too thick, leaves lashes looking wet and clumpy.

    At the time I purchased this, it was in a promotion where I would receive an eyeshadow palette for free if I bought this mascara which was new and had just came out at the time. It did not have a special introductory price as make-up often does when it is new to encourage people to buy it, but I had a £5 No7 voucher and so I thought it was a good price after using this, especially with the free gift. So instead of £12.50 I paid £7.50 for this Extravagant Lashes Mascara. The tube is a pretty dark purple colour and quite fat compared to other mascara tubes I am used to. The brush itself is also ... more

    2 Stars Extravagant lashes? more like square eyes! 20/09/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Does make the lashes curl

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Wand is useless.

    I have used Boots No7 cosmetics for many years. I find the products reliable and not too expensive, if perhaps a bit boring. So when my current mascara started to show signs of needing replacing I headed to my local Boots to buy a replacement. There was a big display featuring the Extravagant Lashes mascara with a free set of eyeshadows. The purple eyeshadows appealed to my daughter so I thought I would try the new mascara and she could have the free gift--two happy people! The 12ml mascara retails at £11.50 but luckily I had a £5 voucher to help towards the cost. Product Claims Extravagant ... more

    3 Stars This caught my eyes! 06/11/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Not too thick, thickened my lashes, nice effect

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Brush is way too large, pricey

    I don't usually wear too much make-up during the day because I'm only at home doing housework or taking Harry to nursery and I don't have time to put on a full face every time I go out the door! I have started to wear a little more make up than normal at weekends though, and mascara has been one of the things that I've started to wear. Recently, Boots had an employee event and this meant I'd be able to get products at a very discounted price. This was one of the things I wanted, mainly because I wanted the free eyeshadow palette that came with it, but it looked like a great product so it ... more

    3 Stars Just change That Magic Wand. 03/10/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages The mascara itself is good the fault lays with the chunky brush.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The chunky brush.

    It seems that all of the cosmetic companies are waging a war at the moment, no sooner do we see one company introduce a new and `different` mascara then others follow suit and jump on the bandwagon. I am like most females I love to try as many of the new offerings as I can possibly afford. One of the latest that I have added to my collection is the new mascara from No 7, and it comes with a grand name too – No 7 Extravagant lashes. The 12 ml tube of mascara retails at £11.50 and it comes in three shades, navy, brown black and brown. I have dark eyes that suit black mascara so that was my ... more

    1 Star Extravagant? Tight on giving eyelashes more like! 06/11/2010
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages The black is a dark black and slightly glossy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Everything else....it's nasty

    Having tried out a lot of Boots No7 mascaras over the years, the last time I bought one I had wasted alot of money on it and it went in the bin after just a couple of uses and I vowed I wouldn't ever buy one from the range again. However I was at the counter in the store the other day making a few purchases when the assistant serving me pointed out I had spent almost £50.00 and if I made it to that amount I'd get £10.00s worth of free advantage store points. I had previously been looking at the No7 mascaras and make up general as I did need some and had read a few positive reviews about one of ... more

    3 Stars An average Mascara that requires a lot of effort to apply it! 14/08/2011
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages A very striking mascara

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the mascara wand!

    I was desperate for a new mascara and went into Boots to pick up the same old mascara I had used for years. As I was wandering around I got distracted by the woman working on the number 7 counter who asked me exactly what I was looking for. I explained that I wanted quite a dramatic mascara that I could wear for a night out. She suggested that rather than my normal mscara I should try the extravagant lashes, which because of its unique brush woul go right to the base of my lashes and seperate and lift each one, giving my lashes volume. This just what I wanted so off I went to pay for the £12 ... more

    3 Stars Nice mascara but tricky to use 01/05/2011

    Advantages Advantages Produces a nice curl effect

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Difficult to use

    I was looking around in Boots for a new mascara, and this Extravagant Lashes mascara caught my eye. No. 7 is a respected brand, and last time I bought a product from the range (last year's autumn eyeshadow palette) I was very impressed. But having said that, I was more attracted by the chance to use my £5 off voucher, reducing the price from £11.50 to £6.50, and the chance to get a free Sultry Eyes eyeshadow palette with four pretty colours! Extravagant Lashes mascara claims to have a "dramatic curling effect" on lashes, with a formula that supposedly "evenly coats lashes from root to tip ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Nice and black

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Short brush

    Boots no 7 Extravagant mascara I like to try out new mascaras and am often tempted by the Boots no 7 products especially when I get one of the frequently given out £5 vouchers to spend on the products. THE PROMISES… This promises that lashes don’t get any more luscious since it apparently creates a false lash effect leaving them looking thicker . It also apparently has a lightweight formula which builds up lashes without leaving them clumpy. PRODUCT AND PACKAGING… The mascara comes in a plain black slightly curved tube with the name of the mascara written on the front in gold letters. The ... more
