L'Oreal Volume Shocking Mascara

wow, this mascara was worth EVERY PENNY! i even got asked if i was wearing fake eyelashes. its amazing, for an evening out or however you would like to wear it.

I was very excited when I got this in the mail from a contest win ! I was also very happy that I did not pay for it after I tried it. I didn't find the primer very effective for me...now I have light lashes and they are a tough costumer, but that's why I wanted to try it. Over all it's just okay. The price does not bother me at all. It's just when I pay that price I want it to work.

I agree with karmacake. The primer and it's brush are fabulous. The mascara and it's comb - blech. I just use the primer and put my L'Oreal Lash Out mascara on top. That works well. Once I run out of the primer, I won't buy this product again. However, if the primer is sold alone, I think I will probably pick some up.

I absolutely LOVE volume shocking mascara, my eyelashes are soo long and gorgeous after using this, they look fake!! The primer is awesome, and the comb is probably what is deeming this mascara the bad reviews. I personally like the comb, but I can see how some people wouldn't. If you want hassle-free this probably isn't for you. It takes some getting used to for applying the mascara with the comb, but once you are the results are incredible! You just have to hold the comb differently and apply it slowly and lightly, or else you end up with a clumpy, goopy mess. It also helps to wipe the comb with a kleenex before you use it, so you're not putting so much excess mascara on that is gooping up the comb. Aside from that, this is probably my favorite mascara aside from victoria's secret sexy lashes, and diorshow.

For the price, I was a little dissapointed. The primer is not all that special and much like many of the other consumers, I had a difficult time trying to get my eyelashes to hold a curl since my lashes didn't look all that shocking. If you get stuck with this since you wanted to try it out like the rest of us, I would also recommend dropping the use of the primer and just sticking with a double dose of the mascara itself. Then when your done, move on to better one.

I really wanted to try a mascara wand that's a comb instead of a brush (and I was sketch about trying Rimmel's version b/c the last Rimmel mascara I tried burned my eyes) and this was the cheapest I could find. The formula is really watery, so don't sneeze within 5min of putting this stuff on! And not a lot of mascara actually fits on the brush so plan on putting it in and taking it out of the bottle at least 7 times, pretty time consuming! I tried the primer on the top lashes only and it actually made my lashes look shorter after putting on the black. My unprimed bottom lashes, however, looked much longer! So final thoughts: love the comb wand, the formula's ok, hate the primer, and would never use this on a day when I'm in a rush b/c it's way to east to screw up.

great mascara! i love the mascara brush, it sepreates and legnthens lashes to their fullest!

This mascara works wonders for me. The first primer coat does help make the lashes look thicker, longer and fuller. What I do recommend before using the product is to use an eyelash curler before applying the primer and buy the waterproof version to keep the lashes from looking droopy.
