i've been waiting on reviewing this mascara untill i had tried it several times and was able to write an honest review on its performance. Normally im a loreal voluminous user but when Loreal came out with the double extend i just knew i had to try it out.
This is the first lengthening mascara i have ever bought because i am more concerned about having dramatic bold lashes (which Voluminous mascara is pretty good for).
my lashes are pretty decent in length but they are pretty straight and dont have much curt.
Pros:
-Lengthens lashes very well, and i found that i really liked the way it looked
-Ease of removal: i like to take a shower and just wet my lashes, and then near the end of my shower i just basically touch my lashes and the mascara comes right off. i love how there is no mess and no makeup remover
-No flaking, and i have even on occasion slept with the mascara on and in the morning it pretty much looks the same as it did the night before. so its great for late nights followed by early mornings.
- as for volumizing, i found a trick: put the white base coat on your lashes really well, so that your lashes basically look white. then do the other eye with the base coat (so that your first set of lashes have time to dry with the base coat) and then go back and put on the second coat to lock in the color. Doing this gave some volume and made my eyelashes look very nice. it wasn't extremely bold lashes but the length and intensity of the mascara made a great combonation.
-CON: to get a look that has a bit of volume i find it takes waaayy to much time. it litteraly takes me almost 10 mins to apply (b./c i try to coat each lash really well with the base coat and let it dry slightly).
also, my little volume trick didnt work each time, and im not sure if its because my mascara is drying out now but lately i have been getting the spider eye effect, which i didnt experiance in the beginning.
OVERALL:
this is a mascara i will definatley keep on hand because there are nights where i work late and have to wake up early and this mascara really holds up well. also the ease of removal is just too hard to pass up. Looks like i will have 2 mascara staples now.. loreal voluminous and this one.

I used to use this product religiously but i always found that it was perhaps a bit heavy or maybe made my hair too greesy the day after i used it. im not sure what it was about this product but it wasn't "perfect". A stylist reccomended that i try a product called 'moroccan oil' which esentially is almost the same as biosilk but better.
so if you're looking for an alternative i would reccomend Moroccan oil

I absolutley love this product!!
its a type of leave in hair oil, that doesnt leave your hair or hands greesy looking. Its as if my hair just soaks it up. It smells great too!
How to use it:
rub a dime or quarter size amount of the oil in your hands and apply it all over your hair. I like to use it when my hair is dry, but you can use it when your hair is damp as well.
The results:
it leaves your hair shiny, non frizzy, soft and smelling great without making your hair look or feel greesy. it makes your hair look very healthy, and after about a month of using this product i noticed that my hair no longer felt brittle or dry. This prduct is amazing and i would reccomend it for anyone and any hair type. it is very light and doesnt weigh your hair down either.
