L'Oréal Paris Double Extend Eye Illuminator Mascara Reviews

Didn't Really Notice Any "Illumination"...Not Impressed
I received the Black Quartz shade, as a BzzAgent, for brown eyes. My first issue is that the wand for the black base coat side (between the brush and the handle) is too short and made it hard to apply. The basecoat formula was "okay" but not impressive. The illuminating topcoat applied okay, not a lot of clumping, but didn't really "illuminate" my eyes and none of my friends even noticed I was wearing it. This might be nice for the holidays or for those who go clubbing but I wasn't impressed and it definitely isn't something I'd use for daily wear. — 2 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Its pretty good
I actually like this mascara, it lengthens my lashes and makes my eyes look brighter. The illuminator really doesn't do much, I assume because the base is black so its hard to see. It doesn't irritate my eyes, doesn't clump, and doesn't leave a mess. It makes me wonder how some of these other women are applying it that its ending up all over the place. — 1 year, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Not that bad
I agree this isn't the most lengthening or volumizing mascara but it does bring out the eyes nicely. Adding it on top of a more volumizing mascara makes the eyes pop. — 1 year agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

You can get more effects than what you may think
I don't typically like mascara, unless it has color to it, and it has to lengthen without being sticky, or smudge on to my face. The only drawback for someone may be it is not waterproof, but it is not going to be bothersome for contact wearers or sensitive eyes. I use it with the one sweep eyeshadow for my brown eyes to accentuate them and make them look larger. Then, I actually like to use the shimmering color over the top tips only. I also, like to highlight the lid itself by using it over the eyeshadow, just patting it on, or using it just like a liner with a soft brush. I think the puffed out end on the illuminating end is not to my suiting, but you don't have to put that part to your eyelashes. There are choices, and I don't think you have to necessarily follow what the color scheme tells you goes with your eye color. I don't like thick, clumpy lashes, rather soft, natural, but longer. I take a thick brush and comb it through without losing lashes, if you do it with a soft brush and gently. I recommended that a friend check it out for herself. She does not need to lengthen her lashes, but I know she likes to get different looks, and plays with color like I do. Since it goes on sale all the time now, and is seen in the women's magazines, compared to just the regular same old, same old, it would be a change. It is probably one of the most useful types of mascara to work with. I also got it ,for my first sample as a BzzAgent, the campaign has completed-but I would be obligated anyway to give my opinion as I saw it. So, here it is and unless something changes, I give it a good score, because of the price you can get it for. — 2 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

Decent enough
The mascara was nothing too special. It didn't clump, but it didn't lengthen or add volume to my lashes. The illuminating topcoat was not that illuminating. I could hardly see the sparkles. Just an okay product. — 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

What a let down
I am for any eye product that will enhance my blue eyes. This mascara was not it. It gave no volume, no length & no illumination! I want my money back What a let down. I generally like Loreal products. Shame on you Loreal. I expect better form Loreal. — 1 year, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

It's good but not great!
I like this mascara but it's pretty average. I really like that it has glitter on the other end I just wish it was a little more noticeable on my lashes. This won't become a regular buy for me but I can see buying it again — 1 year, 4 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Worst that I expected
The mascara on its own is not that bad. It just darken the lashes and seperate them. No volume, no lenght; just black. The "illuminator'' is a mess. No color or even glitter show out of it. The illuminator's brush is also stupidly made (what's that shape?!). Don't like that mascara. OH, and it clumps also. — 1 year, 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
