PRO XXL LIFT

I love a two-step mascara, but this one is so different to others. The difference here is in the brushes, not the formula!

So instead of using a 'primer' first and then following with the colour mascara formula, this one you begin with a straight brush to evenly coat the lashes, and then use the curved brush to lift them!

I really found this lifted and curled my lashes, an effect that lasted all day.

No smudging, flakes or transfer and relatively quick to dry.

I confess to think two brushes was a waste of time before using it, but I'm a convert!

Disappointing

Firstly, by way of explanation, I have long lashes but they're very, very pale. I usually go for a regular mascara to give them a bit of bulk and colour, but I'm not really in need of the length. I used to get them tinted but I found I still needed to wear mascara for the volume. I don't wear a lot of makeup but I always always always wear mascara - I just feel undressed without it!

Which brings me to this particular mascara. I'm not sure what I expected from the "lift" exactly, but I was disappointed. Firstly, the tube is double-ended and clearly marked 1 and 2, so you know what order to apply it. End #1 has a straight wand, End #2 has a curved wand. For some reason, the mascara in #1 was gluggy and yuck. Every time I tried to apply it, I'd end up with clumpy, awful-looking lashes, no matter how much product I tried to scrape off the wand first. Quickly became not a fan of #1 - and applying #2 on either dry or wet lashes just had me ending up looking like a toddler who'd gotten into Mum's makeup bag.

So, I tried just applying from End #2, after scraping off as much excess as I could. I liked End #2 a little bit better - it wasn't as gluggy and I liked the wand shape (curved), it was easier to apply without ending up with a mess. I'm not sure what each end was supposed to do as there were no instructions with it, so I can't really comment on whether it did what it said it was going to do (perhaps lift? If that's the case, I didn't really notice anything like that happening).

I liked End #2 well enough but it just didn't really do anything extraordinary that other mascara's didn't already do for me (and they were easier to apply, on the whole).

So I'm afraid this one is a no from me. I might keep it as a back-up and just use the remainder of the mascara in End #2... or I might just give it away to my daughter and see if she can make it work for her. She may succeed where I failed miserably!

Tips: Don't use it when you're in a hurry - it just makes the clumping worse (ask me how I know!).

Double action mascara

Product is nice and slim and fits perfectly into my make up bag. Great packaging. Love that it has two sides for double the action- volume and lift, just what you need in a mascara. Easy to use and apply. Doesn’t clump and is long lasting. Slight smudge for me but otherwise looked great on and worked well. My eyelashes don’t usually stayed and lift definitely helped it to- just what I needed!

Tips: Use a heated eyelash curler before applying the mascara.

One of the few mascaras that doesn't smudge on me

I'll admit I was very sceptical about this mascara as 99% of one's I've tried (including waterproof) smudge on my hooded eyelids. The formula is a little thicker and drier than ones I've tried in the past but it works well for building volume. I wore this all day with no flakes, no smudges and not feeling like something was poking my eye all day.

Tips: With step one, wiggle the brush at the roots of your lashes to build volume, then comb out to avoid clumps. For very short downward pointing eyelashes like mine, I go in with an eyelash curler first to help with the lift and by the time I've used step 2, my eyes look so awake! It doesn't say it's a waterproof formula but it doesn't budge so you'll need an oil based make remover to take this off. Hold a remover soaked pad over your closed eye for about 10 seconds and gently massage to remove the mascara.

Stunning

This mascara has been the only one to lift my lashes nicely. I’ve got very straight lashes and need to use a curler each time I want any lift. This mascara did that with no assistance from a curler. The mascara itself does what it says it will and increases the volume of the lashes nicely. Depending on how much you apply, you might end up with some clumping of lashes, but the mascara itself isn’t clumpy.

Tips: I found one layer of mascara was all I needed to add the volume wanted. Once a second layer was applied, my lashes started clinging to each other creating some minor clumps.

Absolutely love the L'Oreal PRO XXL Lift Mascara

Upon arrival I was impressed with the packaging of the mascara it looks great and is easy to find in my makeup drawer. I also really liked the easy to see numbering for the application and the dual ended brushes. I admit I am constantly caught out that the wands are on the inside so keep having to switch it around after opening which is a bit of a pain but something I would get used to after a longer use. The first wand is a lovely long, hourglass shape which is slim and makes it easy to apply the product. I was amazed after just the first application how much volume and length my lashes had and would've happily left them at that! They looked wispy and pretty. The other end the wand is a curved shape that really cups under your lashes and gives them a great lift. The end effort is gorgeous with no clumping at all, I am very impressed!! After a day of wearing it there was no smudging or fallout and the product was easy to remove. I would definitely recommend giving this mascara a try and I'm now really keen to try out one of the fibre mascaras that were launched at the same time as this one. This is a more expensive L'Oreal Mascara but it is definitely worth it for the length and volume it achieves.

love it!!

I honestly think this is the best mascara I have ever tried! I love it. I have worn it every day since it arrived.

It does exactly as it says it does and makes my short eyelashes look great with a few simple coats. The formula is not overly wet so I don't make a mess while applying and the wand shape and size works well for my small eyes too.

I will be buying again!!

I love it!

The first time I tried this mascara I used it on one eye to compare with my regular mascara and I could actually see a difference straight off the bat. It really does do what it says it will, definitely noticed a lift, no flaking or smudging and long lasting. The staying power is so great that you will need to spend a little extra time when it comes to removing this product. Happy lady over here!

Volume and lift in one mascara

I was excited to try this new L'Oréal Pro XXL Lift mascara as it promised volume as well as lift - a 2-in-1 mascara that seemed from the outset to offer more than your average mascara. For me, length isn't too much of an issue when it comes to my eyelashes; however, 'volume' and 'lift' are words that quickly capture my attention. And, seeing as this mascara claimed to offer both of these effects, I jumped at the chance to give it a go...

This mascara comes in a sophistocated slim-line box, and the mascara applicator is an attractive, metallic deep-red colour, with black and silver accent colours on it as well. It all looks and feels like a good-quality mascara, which is what I would expect coming from L'Oréal. The mascara is also with infused with pro-keratin, which is a good protein for your lashes, making them healthier and stronger.

It's pretty easy to use - firstly, you apply the volume-amplifying mascara, which is the mascara with the straight brush marked '1' on one end of the applicator. Then you apply the lift mascara, which is the mascara with the curved brush marked '2' at the other end of the applicator. It is indeed a 2-in-1 mascara.

The description used by L'Oréal on their website is that this Pro XXL Lift will give you 'a lifted lash look, lasting up to 24 hours. No clumps, smudges or flakes'. So does their product deliver on these promises?

Well, in my experience, it does - mostly. It provides superb lift and volume and it is also long-lasting. So, no problems there at all. As well as being long-lasting, it doesn't seem to smudge or flake, which is great. Therefore, all of these claims, to me, were completely accurate. The one claim I can't agree with, however, is that it won't clump. When I used it, I noticed clumping straight away. Yes, clumping is reasonably easy to fix, and it doesn't ruin the whole effect that this mascara creates (once you've dealt to the clumping). But it is worth mentioning because a lot of people are keen to avoid clumps when using mascara.

When all is said and done, I'd buy and use this mascara again because it does offer incredible volume and lift in one product. It is also long-lasting and it doesn't smudge. Those are all big ticks, in my opinion. But, it has to be said, it does clump. So, while I would recommend this product overall, I also do need to mention my personal experience with clumps. For me, while clumps are annoying, they're one flaw in an otherwise flawless mascara. So, for all those reasons, I'm giving this product four kisses out of five. It delivers - well - on most of its claims.
