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

i left it until the very last minute to review this because i wanted to try it every way i could before i reviewed, thinking maybe my technique (that works brilliantly for all other mascaras) wasn't the best, but it turns out it really is down to this mascara. i wanted to love it! I really did! okay so it's lovely packaging. it come in a pretty silver tube, and at 7 ml it's a decent amount of product. The formula is fairly wet, which I'm personally not a fan of, as I find wet formulas stick my lashes together and give me spider eyes, but some people like wetter ones so that's just personal preference, but this one did give me spider lashes, and it didn't volumise. It really just stuck my lashes together in a long, skinny mess. it does make them long, I did notice it built up the ends, but nothing spectacular, and it didn't spread my lashes out. I was really intrigued by the assymetrical brush, but it actually made it more difficult to build. This certainly isn't a one coat mascara, and this oddly shaped brush just meant I couldn't really stroke or wiggle very easily. it also says it's a no clump mascara, but the second you try to build, it clumps up and you have hunks stuck to your lashes. You can't comb it out because it makes it worse, and if you use a clean wand it spreads the super wet formula everywhere. little specks under my eyes! If you try to do it once it dries, it crumbles away and leaves you with no mascara. Yes. It's a crumbly mascara. My pet hate! It crumbles away if anything goes near your eyes, gets into your eyes and scatters little mascara rocks all over your face. The only plus there is that it cleanses off easily, and this crumbly texture meant it didn't smudge. I wanted to love it. So much. But this was a miss for me. I'm glad I got to trial this because I'd have been really annoyed of I had paid $26 for this.

Let me start by saying that I've been a massive Maybelline mascara girl my whole life - but I'm a changed woman. This mascara is fantastic! It really lives up to its claims - the brush catches every little lash and makes them long and fluttery (the butterfly bit really fits!) There was no clumping and it gave a great black colour. The only way it could be improved was if it thickened up the lashes a little bit, but it made them look so long that it didn't really matter. It took a bit of practice to get the technique down, but once I had a bit of a play I found it easy to use. I'll definitely be buying this mascara when it runs out!

L'oreal can make amazing mascaras and they did it once again. While it's not an extraordinarily good mascara, it is a really good one.

First, I really like this cool looking tube, as I usually prefer simple packaging, it's really nice to have an expensive looking little tube in my make-up bag to show it off. It clicks upon closing which makes it even more luxurious.

The brush is very interesting, there are longer brushes on one side and shorter on the other side, I prefer using the longer ones all together, but sometimes I use the short side on my lower lashes. There's also a video on youtube explaining and showing how to use this mascara exactly.

The product smells nice and creamy, I like it a lot, it doesn't smell chemically at all. I wear contact lenses and it never once irritated my eyes, not even a little bit.

Sadly it doesn't make my eyelashes look like butterfly wings, which is quite a disappointment really, it separates them really good, without major clumping, makes them look a bit longer, but I expect these things from most of my mascaras, so while it is a very good mascara, it doesn't do anything new or amazing to my lashes.

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.

The packaging is stylish and simple and shows the silver mascara enclosed. The box promises of a brush that catchs every lash, volumises and lengthens...and guess what it does just that!!!

The brush is a unique design that I have not seen before. It glides over my lashes with each application and covers each lash. Definitley thickens them without any clumping what so ever.

The feature I am most impressed with is how this mascara makes the ends of my lashes curl! I dont use a curling wand at all, but it looks like I have every time I use this mascara.

I would without a doubt reccomend this mascara, and have got compliments on how long my lashes are each time I have worn it.

I really like how it stays on all day without having to reapply it, it doesn't seem to smudge or wear off either.

Very easy to remove, I just used a light wash face to remove and wasn't left with panda eyes.

Totally a lovely mascara at a really reasonable price! Would I buy it - absolutely!!!!
