DOUBLE THE EXTEND, TRIPLE THE GLAM

Lately we've seen a lot of break through technology in mascara to lengthen and thicken our lashes.  Each formula is different and full of promise, but really, which ones are worth your money?

When I was introduced to L'oreal Double Extend, I could not wait to write a raving review!  This mascara lived up to its claim of elongating lashes without clumping.  And for less than $10 at the drug store, I'm so in love!





This double-ended tube comes with a white base coat to both protect and fortify the lashes, with little microfibers that extends at the tip of each lash.





 
 Kind of hard to see, but each lash has a white tip.




On the opposite end, the tube contains regular mascara that you can coat over the white base coat.







With this 2-step application, you can see the result below, where 1 eye has longer lashes than the other.



Left of the picture (my right eye), double extend.
Right of the picture (my left eye), regular mascara.


Great product at a fair price is far and few in between.  And I am thrilled to find L'oreal Double Extend Mascara.  1 thing to remember is curl your lashes before applying the base coat.  Curling afterward kind of crimps the formula, making it jagged.


Hopefully you'll give this product a try and also find it lovable like I did.

  15. I like also the 2 step mascaras, but I have never been tried this one's.
    Actually it's function much better on me the 2 step one's them any other expensive mascara.

  16. I love those extending mascaras! They really work! The only thing that sucks is that once I apply the primer on, my eyelashes go straight. NO matter now much I've curled them. :( BOO!

  21. Hi Tris, this is way over my thick head, but thanks for sharing, I can however tell you that I can see the white tips on your eye lashes... :-)

    Thanks for leaving a thought on my last post, I have to agree, Kate Beckinsale is a wonderful lady, and one of my all time favorites, but in this post my vote will go to Jen, she looks absolutely breathtakingly sexy in that dress and heels.

    Hope your week has started off well, have a great day!

    Colin.
