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

This is my new holy grail mascara.

Previously Benefit's They're Real held a special place in my heart for creating bold lashes, but L'Oreal's False Lash Butterfly Wings blows it out of the park.

First of all, the packaging is beautiful. So sleek and silvery. Secondly, the formula is perfection. Not too thick, not too thin, it glides on my lashes without clumping and doesn't smudge, and my lashes are left looking big, black, long and bold. Thirdly, that wand. I mean. Wow. It really helps to create a butterfly effect - my lashes fan out and up, and, wow. Lastly? At under $30 it's a bargain.

I recommended this to a friend who bought it and she loves it too, which leaves me quietly confident that this mascara is the real deal - and everyone should own one.

I recieved this mascara in the ball season BBBE. I'd noticed the discrepancy in reviews for this mascara so I wasn't all that excited to test it out, but i've been pleasantly surprised.

The packaging makes this mascara stand out from others, it's a big shiny bullet type thing. The brush is rubber, which I was slightly concerned about as I've had mostly underwhelming experiences with rubber mascara brushes in the past. The bristles are surprisingly short, I was very doubtful that it was going to be any good. As the bristles of this brush are so pewny, they dont hold much much of the mascara formula which I find is a good thing as it minimizes the chance of clumpage. In fact, I haven't had any issue with clumpage at all with this mascara.

It applies lovely, fanning out lashes as promised and is perfect for getting the bottom lashes without making a mess. I generally use a lash curler prior to mascara application, but this does such a good job that the curler is not needed. With 3 coats of this mascara I really like how my lashes look; long, fanned, fluttery, separated nicely and not too thick. It's also quite easy to remove.

This is a pretty great mascara in my opinion and reasonably priced, I'd repurchase and recommend.

Mascara is one of those products I use daily but don't give much thought. I read the claims but honestly don't expect any to really stand out.

Except this one. I picked it up from my local pharmacy on special. I liked the packaging, very stylish.

It's a rubber applicator/brush (things have changed since I first started using mascara!) and it applies like a dream. No clumps, no excess product, just a really clean application.

One coat is enough for day wear, two is perfect for a dramatic evening look.

I think price wise it's pretty on point, especially as I've tried much more expensive mascaras and gotten poor results!

This is a thick formula with a weird rubber brush. These things scream fail to me, but somehow - they work!

My fine lashes look thicker but not clumpy, long but not spidery. It really does give fluttery butterfly lashes.

This mascara has a really fresh smell, which is weird, but not unpleasant. (wanna sniff my eyelashes? said no woman ever....)

Bit expensive but I pick it up on special during beauty week.

Lovely packaging.

This mascara has a very unusual applicator, with very small plastic bristles. It does live up to its reputation of being clump free, but also doesnt offer much volume. I find that the applicator is very large and unweildy, and often leaves a line of mascara at the base of my lashes. I also have difficulty capturing the end lashes with the shape of the applicator.

I purchased the waterproof variety and true to its name it doesnt slip off my lashes by mid day with my notoriously teary eyes. I do find that this can flake a bit if you rub your eyes at the end of the day so it is not completely bulletproof. I find that it is quite easy to remove at the end of the day which is a bonus.

Unfortunately this mascara is only okay in my opinion. Will continue to see if I can get the knack of the applicator in order to get a better result

I received this product in a BBBE - as you do, which I was happy to receive, I'm always up for trying a new mascara, and one with "Butterfly Effect" in the name surely does wonders!

First off I love the packaging, slanted/rounded, silver and black text. I'm also a huge fan of the wand - the wand tips are of a flexi rubbery type and grab each lash perfectly - they also lengthen each lash making them really pop.

I'm not sure if I received a dud product but only after a few weeks of using the product dried up. It didn't particularly clump up, it just dried up and I didn't get anymore product coming out on the wand which was disappointing.

I'm unsure if I would purchase, but reading other reviews it sounds like people are of the same opinion of how great the mascara and wand is - hopefully mine was just a dud and dried up quick.

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 got this and an eyeliner in a boxed set for $25 online. Bargain! The packaging is gorgeous. Purple and green metallic box. Although the box is a bit of overkill for such small items. The mascara itself comes in a beautiful metalic silver which I find really appealing. It is quite chunky but easy to hold.

The wand is like nothing I have seen before. A rubbery material of different lengths. I was quite confused when I saw this so was excited to try it out to see if it could deliver what it promises to do.

Yes! The wand is fantastic, I am left with clump free and long looking lashes. They fan out beautifully. The formula is a great consistency and is a gorgeous black. I have the waterproof version and it definately stays put for sure. No flaking or transfer at all. It is easily removed with a bit of coconut oil at the end of the night.

It hasn't dried my lashes out at all which I get with some mascaras. A great product and a great addition to a makeup collection. I would definately purchase again.
