LANCOME CILS BOOSTER XL SUPER-ENHANCING MASCARA BASE
TWMichello (160 reviews)

I got this in a sample/trial size in a goodie bag from Sephora and this formula for me is the perfect mix between a lengthening fiber and volumizing primer. It's not so wispy that the fibers get in your eyes (I wear contacts so I have to be careful), but it's got enough substance to where you can build really nice volume without just clumped on bulk. I layer my Urban Decay mascara over this and it always goes on so smooth. I hate when primers dry down too fast and make lashes crunchy or dry, this one doesn't do that. The brush is also a great size and combs through lashes with ease without being too large and bumping lids to getting int he way, it's also very lower lash friendly if you want to beef up your bottom lashes. This doesn't hold a curl for me if I curl my lashes before putting this on I have stubbornly straight lashes), but I curl in multiple spots up my lashes before this and then lightly after it dries. That holds my curl wonderfully! My lashes are still curled at the end of the day. Better than any other primer I've used by doing that method. This also extends the wear of my mascara better than any other primer I've used. My favorite mascara is Fresh Supernova. I couldn't use it on my bottom lashes before because it is prone to smudging even though it has a beautiful effect. I have hardly any transfer under my eyes since I started using Cils Booster XL. I especially love this because I wear waterproof mascara, which can be really harsh on my lashes, and this conditions and protects my lashes from the mascara. — 1 month, 1 week ago

Love this product

It really makes a difference in the appearance of you lashes. Makes them longer and conditions them. It doesn't make them stiff. It makes it easier to put on your mascara. Wonderful primer. — 8 months, 2 weeks ago

Did nothing for me
elena62 (163 reviews)

I have tried it and i did not see a difference at all in how my lashes looked or how my mascara wore. I am shocked too see so many good reviews of this product. To me it is just an extra unnecessary step that i do not need in my day. — 3 years ago

I'm Hooked!
Llisa2 (194 reviews)

At first I bought this only to get some free goodies, along with the courbe Virtose mascara. I have to admit, even with cheap drug store mascara, this stuff helps my eyelashes look full long and clump free! I am completely sold. I have took the other reviewers advise and have never allowed to dry before I applied my mascara so have had no trouble what so ever. I am very glad I bought this, and will definitely continue to purchase and use. I am hoping it will help me make the mascara last longer. And, if it helps my eyelashes then even better. — 4 years, 1 month ago

Can't go without

I love this product! I use a primer to condition and keep my lashes that I am growing from falling out. This is great for volume and makes my lashes stronger! — 7 months, 2 weeks ago

Multitasker for lashes!
SShum (17 reviews)

I really love how depending on the way you apply this booster, you can achieve different looks with your lashes. If you roll on the booster, it can add amazing length while wiggling the wand at the lash base can give a huge volume boost. Since I started using this primer, my lashes have become noticeably stronger and doesn't fall out as easily when I remove mascara. Would definitely recommend. — 10 months, 1 week ago

Can't Live Without!
KMiye (16 reviews)

This mascara primer is amazing!! It lengthens, defines, and adds volume to my lashes (which are on the short side). After applying the CILS booster XL, I only need one coat of mascara, and I'm ready to go. It's a good feeling to know that I'm using less mascara, but getting the appearance that I'm using a more substantial amount. I used to use this primer with Lancome's other mascaras, but I've found that it works with any mascara. — 10 months, 1 week ago

Absolutely stunning!
becksstein (102 reviews)

This base is the base of all bases. Swipe it on, swipe on ANY mascara after and you will be batting birds away from getting caught in your eyelashes. It is THAT good. Great to pull up tiny hidden lashes, or ones that are growing back out, or literally almost doubling the length and volume of your normal-length lashes. — 10 months, 3 weeks ago

Makes your lashes really count

If your lashes could use a boost, this will do it. They look magnified! Gives a nice base upon which to smooth on your mascara and stays nice looking all day! — 1 year, 2 months ago
