L'Oreal Extra-Volume Collagen Mascara Review

I'm almost positive L'oreal Extra-Volume Collagen Mascara isn't going to change my cosmetic life any time soon but it's decent enough for a $6.99 mascara...likey budget right?

Many of my friends aren't as heavily into makeup as I am and some that do like (but not love) makeup think that a throw away drugstore mascara is the ideal solution to not spending $20-$30 on a high street brand. It's understandable especially if you're as anal as I am about germs. I won't touch mascara after 3 to 4 months simply because I'm worried about what's breeding inside the tube so it seems sensible to head to the drugstore to score mascara as that way we aren't shelling out ridiculous amounts of cash for something we'll toss out anyway within in a few months.

I'm not of the mentality that cheaper is better even in cases of mascara. I do so love a good brand name mascara that sets me back $20 or more dollars as I see good, solid results with said product. Am I alone? Maybe.

If you happen to fall into the "I don't want to spend more than $10 bucks on a mascara" group you can try out L'Oreal Extra-Volume Collagen Mascara for around $7 bucks and call it a day. Like I said it's not going to change your cosmetic life but it's inexpensive and it does what it says to some extent.

The plus side of the formula is it's richly pigmented and truly black. I love mascara that's really rich and deep black it's the perfect companion to a smoky eye. This sells me right off the bat in regards to that. It promises 12x's your normal lash length...ummm not really. It does a decent job of lengthening but nothing that has me jumping up and down shouting, "Yes!" while doing a fist pump. For the most part the finished results are very natural, softer, fuller curls. If that's your look you'll love this. The brush applicator makes mascara application a snap as it glides on to lashes perfectly while lengthening and plumping. I don't see dramatic curl results with this but it does wear well without smudging or flaking.








Overall, it's noting I got too hyped over but it's decent enough for the price. I'm not a fan of the "natural" lash look and prefer a more dramatic look so that could be one reason I'm not thrilled. If you like your lashes to look fuller and longer while still remaining very natural this might very well be a great one to try. For the price it really can't break the bank to give it a whirl.
