It’s no secret that one of my longest standing go-to mascara favourites is L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara, so when I noticed that L’Oreal came out with a new and improved version of it, I couldn’t wait to check it out.
What It Is: Super-Volumized, Super-Extended, X-Treme Superstar Lashes
What It Does: The Black Primer portion of the mascara delivers extreme volume and depth, whilst the Fiber Infused Mascara portion create extreme length.
Distinguishing Factors: Primer and mascara. Primer creates a black lash base whilst the fiber mascara helps with extending the length of your lashes.
Verdict: What I love about this mascara is that you have both primer and mascara in one handy wand! The primer that comes with mascara is black, rather than white, which helps cut down on the waiting time (cause I usually wait for the white primers to dry up a little before adding the mascara). This black primer is created so that there is no wait time, and it helps prepare the lashes for the fiber mascara. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the fiber mascara formula. Fiber mascara means that there are little tiny fibers in the mascara that attach to the lashes and thus helps with creating a lengthening look to each individual lash. This mascara DOES deliver in helping with length if that’s your concern but it also helps with volume if that’s what you seek. I also love that this mascara was neither clumpy nor did it ever feel heavy. Bonus, there’s no flaking, smudging, or fall-out all day! Instead, what you do get is defined, extra-voluminous, and long lashes without the hassle of falsies or extensions! A definite win/win in my book.
Price: $10.99

I’m going to have to try this out. I like that the primer is built in!

Yes, especially considering that if you buy primer and mascara separately, the price is double, whilst with this you get both for the price of one!

That’s *exactly* what I was thinking. I bought a L’Oreal primer/mascara two tube combo but it literally made my eyelashes fall out and I was not cool with that! But I still like the extra, long-last volume a primer gives.

Oh wow…which one was that? Maybe there was something in the formula that caused your lashes to fall out? So far this one has been good to me, and I used another version of L’Oreal Superstar mascara/primer combo that was okay. Usually though I use primer from Lancome (but since Lancome & L’Oreal are the same company their formulas are similar).

I was disappointed to say the least! I did not know Lancome and L’Oreal are the same company. I’m going to give the one you posted a try!

I used to use the Voluminous mascara (alone) for years. Maybe there was something in that formula that was too harsh for your lashes and made them fall out/break. Let me know what you think when you do! Another mascara that I really like a lot is this: https://medusasmakeup.com/collections/mascara Their products are vegan and the mascara is really awesome at separating lashes!
