L'Oreal

I haven't tried a l'oreal mascara from the voluminous group that I didn't like. It's all so amazing! The original one adds the perfect length and volume, and holds up all day long. No flakes, smudges, just beautiful, full lashes! This, and the l'oreal voluminous feline are my favorites. I'm going to be trying the voluminous paradise one soon. Wish me luck! (so far, all l'oreal mascara's are my favorite of not only the drugstore brands, but the high end ones as well).

I love the gel, I hate the pencil material, of plastic. It ruined my sharpener. HOWEVER, I ALMOST THREW IT OUT AFTER 2 USES BECAUSE THE SPIN AT THE BOTTOM DIDN'T PUSH UP THE PENCIL. i CAME HERE AND SAW OVER 300 PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING AND LOREAL SAYING ITS REALLY JUST LIKE A PENCIL THAT YOU SHARPEN.THIS SHOULD BE STATED IN YOU DESCRIPTION. Instead of making us look for it. How many people threw this out like I almost did and will never buy anything loreal again?

I used this for a good 3-4 weeks before stopping. Over time my skin became very sensitised to this toner, causing my face to break out and burn after application. It was a VERY heavily scented toner, which smelt like dish detergent to me. The consistency was also really strange; it was like watered-down jelly, rather than a typical watery consistency like standard toners I've used before.

After using this it, it left an unpleasant tacky feeling to my skin, which probably explains the burning sensation I felt after use as I can only assume it must have left some residue on my skin.

One good thing - if you find you can get on with this and it doesn't affect your skin - the bottle is HUGE! You get 400ml and I think I only paid about £4.99 for it, which is really good value for money.

Finally, although this claims to be for dry and sensitive skin, I definitely wouldn't recommend it for either types based on my experience whilst using it.

Curiosity had me buying this mascara. A wand which bends to reach all the lashes? Well I had to give it a go.

Claims:
Our game-changing mascara innovation
Bendable mascara wand for precise application
Reaches every last lash, from corner to corner
Lengthens, volumises, defines and separates lashes
Intense black finish for high-impact lashes
Longwear formula

First time use review:
Hmmm......not for me I am afraid! After curling my lashes and coating them with this mascara I was left with about 5 clumped together stubby lashes. I have fairly sparse lashes but they are not that short - but this made the curl drop straight away and look clumpy and short. Yes, when you bend the wand it really does get to lashes I never knew was there, but as it went on clumpy it wasn't the look I wanted (I don't like bold lashes). Not sure if I like the packaging - its quite cumbersome to use and takes up a lot of room in my makeup bag!

On a positive note, its certainly black, doesn't smudge and when dry it isn't crunchy.
