OBSESSED! L'Oreal Double Extend

You can spend all the time in the world on your makeup, but if your lashes aren't pulling their weight, all of that hard work can go to waste! Its important to find a mascara that will pull a day as long as you do without running or flaking! I have a drawer full of 'failed' mascaras but this drusgstore find is my holy grail!

Obsessed!

Why I Am OBSESSED!
This mascara is hands down the best I have ever used! It gets the highest marks in all 3 criteria I look for in a good mascara and its a drugstore find so I love the price!
  1. It's buildable- this mascara is made for multiple layers! It has a primer and top coat that work together to make your lashes fat & long! 
  2. It stays put- I have long lashes and oily lids which can make for a bad combo, even in waterproof. This mascara doesn't run or leave the dreaded dark smudge under my eyes & on the tops of my lids. 
  3. It is easily removed- unlike a lot of mascaras that are still hanging around after makeup remover & a shower, this formula creates a literal tube of product around you lash. When you add makeup remover or water the tubes slide right off in clumps. This is a great saver on your lashes & your eyes. Lots of rubbing or harsh removers can damage your lashes and cause premature aging of the skin around the eyes!
How I Use It:
  • After curling my lashes, I start by applying the white primer to my bottom lashes with a zig zag & down motion- applying to your bottom lashes first saves you from getting spots on your lids from the wet top lashes.
  • Next apply primer to your top lashes using a zig zag motion at the lash base then blink through to the tip
  • Repeat bottom & top lashes if your lashes are short or very thin
  • Apply top coat to the bottom then top using the same motions
  • Repeat for extra volume or length. 
TIP: You should always build your mascara while your other coats are damp. Waiting too long can cause spider eyes. If you feel a dry or tugging feeling, you have waited to long.
