L'Oreal Paris False Lash Butterfly Wings Intenza Mascara Black Review

I do love this mascara the brush shape separates my lashes perfectly and gets into the corners with ease.

The formula is fantastic, stayed on all day but came off easily with a bit of make up remover.

I also wear contact lenses and had no irritation whatsoever.

This mascara did have quite a strong chemical smell.

Through positive comments on Battle of the Brands, I decided to give this mascara a go. The brush was not what I expected with the short and the long bristles so I just went with it. At first I couldn't work with it. My lashes were clumping and I tried to separate them and not realising that it did not dry quickly so I just ended up making a mess. Not one to give up and not wanting to waste my money I tried again the next day and as I kept using it I got better at it. I have a good set of lashes and I found when I was able to master the technique it actually curled them when it dried. Stays on all day and removes easily with my Za oily cleanser. After days of persisting I now love using this mascara and would buy it again for the good price it is.

Ok, so I got this product as my mother recommended it.

My first impression was that it was an amazing mascara! Makes my lashes long, and spread out evenly. The brush is really good as I personally prefer rubber brushes.

Although I was blessed with quiet long eyelashes, I found this worked well on both long and short lashes (my mums are so short). The smell, not the nicest - but what mascara does smell good!

The thing that disappointed me about this mascara was how fast it dried up. I never 'pump' my mascara wand, so I don't know why it did dry so quickly.

I went to buy it again but the packaging has shrunk!! Not too happy about that so that's why I wouldn't use it again. But a pretty good mascara through and through.

I bought this mascara as had heard so much about it and wanted to see if it did what it says it should. To start off with, the brush takes a little getting used to, found it quite hard to use at first but once I had the hang of it, my lashes did look longer and fuller. It does tend to get a little clumpy so have to be careful how much you apply. My top eye lashes do look longer and fuller and yes like butterfly wings, looks fantastic when going out at night. I found it wasn't so good on the bottom lashes though, maybe because they are shorter but it tended to clump a little more.

Is a really great product but i did accidently purchase the water proof one which i love except it is extremely difficult to remove, but i stil love it haha

I am always so skeptical when it comes to mascara! Always stating that they will give your lashes volume or thicken them or make them appear longer etc. I would have to say that L'oreal you have done me proud with this mascara! The brush is curved perfect fitting to my lashes and the brush is plastic which doesn't clump.PERFECT. There is nothing worse than mascara clumping on the brush and your lashes. It spreads out my lashes like a beautiful butterfly spreading its wings after being snug in it's cocoon. Not over the top either so perfect for a day out with friends for lunch or a night out on cocktails with the girls x

I received this in the "The Ball" Beauty Box, which has since sold out.

It comes in a smooth silver tube wand with black stripes, which is nice to hold in your hands.

The main feature of this mascara is the asymmetrical brush, that has short prongs on one side, and longer ones on the other, giving it a triangle shape.

I prefer longer, defined lashes, over thick, clumpy ones, so I am pleased that this mascara does the former. The rubber prongs do define and coat my lashes from the base to the tips. This formula does not clump either. It is wet going on, dries quickly, and does not run, or transfer, easily. It also lasts all day, and comes off easily with makeup remover.

Generally this mascara is one of the better ones that I have tried. My only quibble is that the brush is a bit awkward to use. The handle on the wand is quite thick, which makes it awkward to hold. It is also hard to angle the side of the brush with the longer prongs towards my eyelashes correctly. So it is easy to make mistakes when applying this mascara.

I really did like this- it made my lashes look really thick and long. It had minimal flaking and was non-irritating to my particularly sensitive eyes. The brush was interesting. One side has really long bristles which I loved! It really gets to the roots. And I love the gel-like formula. It's less inky than other mascaras, and it really feels like its coating the entire lash. It even smells quite nice, sort of conditioner-y. Though one qualm- but I have this with pretty much all non-waterproof mascaras- is that is doesn't hold my curl. (I have to use an eyelash curler to avoid looking like like Sesame Street's Mr. Snuffleupagus.

Butterfly. Intense. Daring. Precision. Black. Noir. Super.

These are just some words I'd describe this mascara with. I'm a Rimmel girl, but this has blown me away.

I was quite keen on trying another mascara when my Rimmel one died, RIP - wee hunnie and I was positively surprised with this one, even if the reviews weren't the overall best.

The packaging is plastic and it looks and feels cheap. Tacky, almost. But despite me having issues with the packaging, what is important is the contents.

Now, here's the interesting part. The brush is shaped in such a way that it elongates the outer part of your lashes, so that it looks like falsies, or butterfly wings. The brush is plastic too, and in my opinion, they could've really improved on that, but other than the material I quite like the brush. If you flip it over, there's very short "bristles" you can use for your lower lashes.

It's a nice concept that they did and I really like it. If you are unsure of how to use the brush, there's a youtube video explaining it.

The formula - I was really happy with the formula until the other day when a whole clump was on the brush and I couldn't get it off and it made my lashes stick together, but since then it's been perfect again.

If you use the brush correctly, the formula doesn't clump (the previous statement was a once-off event) your lashes, but elongates them into beautiful false-lash like lashes. If that makes any sense.

It stays on a long time, and I'm not sure if it's waterproof but it certainly has that effect. You also won't end up with panda eyes after four hours.

I am really happy with it, I probably won't buy it again soon because as I said, I am a Rimmel girl and I will always prefer that over anything else I buy.

Now, I am about anything that creates a false lash look I mean it saves me time and effort of applying fake lashes or going through the grueling process of getting extensions. This Mascara does create that look , but personally was a little to thick and bold for my liking . I found my lashes clumped together and did not grow in length . I Think this mascara would be great for somebody wanting to achieve that bold thick look, but it just didn't do it for me :(
