Estee Lauder Lash XL Maximum Length Mascara by Estee Lauder, Mascara Review

8.0

This mascara actually lengthens lashes with "stretchable silk micro-fibers," but unlike some fiber-full formulas (Maybelline New York Intense XXL), you don't notice the fibers in this. It claims to lengthen by 50 percent, but 20 percent is more like it -- totally acceptable for a product you simply brush on. It doesn't add much volume, but it's not overly natural either. It wears well without smudging or flaking, and the brush is a classic medium width and easy to use.

This was a great mascara! It didn't lengthen as much as I would like though. Based upon, what I got for the price I don't think I would purchase again. But t was a great mascara. — 7 months ago

Drugstore quality at a high-end price

I returned this mascara. It was too expensive for its so-so results. It coated my eyelashes with a nice shade of black and it did make them fuller, but they didn't appear to be any longer. The formula is thick and a bit dry, so it doesn't go onto lashes easily and, I'm guessing, causes it to dry out quickly. Like I said, this is just an average mascara and doesn't deserve to be in the Estee lineup. — 3 years, 4 months ago
