L'Oreal Paris Bambi False Lash Mascara Reviews

This L'Oreal product is described as a 'bambi eye false lash mascara" but I found it completely underwhelming, especially for the $30.99 price tag. It was completely serviceable but the packaging hyperbole was not my experience. It did not give me large lashes, like the a lowercase "bambi", but it did give me grocery-run lashes. The silver plastic tube looks like a surgical instrument with it's steely point. The spoolie has a nice feel with short rounded bristles and this was easy to use.

Thank you Beauty Review!! Mascara is one of my all time favourite cosmetics and wow the L'Oreal Paris Bambi Eye Mascara is phenomenal. I am so happy!

Bambi Eye comes in a cool silver container. The lid is quite large and is rounded apart from one side that is squared off. I loved the squared of side as it made it easy to hold and much easier to do the 'rotation' style application they recommend.

For me there were no panda eyes or clumps ... just thick, long, black, amazing lashes that stayed on all day/night. I had so many compliments on my eyelashes ... most compliments started with 'wow'.

Mascara is my most used beauty product and I'm always looking to try the latest and greatest! My lashes are sparse, short, and extremely straight so mascaras that curl, lengthen AND thicken are what I aim for but 2/3 will usually do the trick - so a mascara promising that it 'curls lash by lash to create bigger, wider, doe-eyed look. Black velvet formula for elongated and defined lashes.' definitely sounded up my alley!

Unfortunately, it didn't deliver on the curl promise at all. The first day I wore it I tried it without my lash curler and was extremely disappointed in the results.

The other days I used my trusty curler first to get something resembling shape out of my lashes... and was still disappointed. While it definitely delivers beautifully on length, it didn't add much in the way of volume at all. My lashes looked lovely and long, but remained very sparse.

If you have naturally thick lashes and use a curler (or they're naturally curly too, you lucky thing you) then I think this formula would be perfect for you to add length and definition. For me, though, it was a real flop as I desperately need a bit more volume from a mascara or for it to at least save me the effort of curling my lashes.

Love, love, love this mascara. Why? Read on....

1. It looks nice and it's easy to use. Its design is attractive. It's silver, sleek and eye-catching. Its lid is a little thick, but having said that, holding it isn't a problem as it's been designed in a way that makes it easy to grip and use comfortably.

2. It's buildable. One coat of this in black/noir works well for me and does the trick, but I've also found this mascara to be buildable, so for a more dramatic effect, you can apply two or even three coats.

3. The look it achieves is lovely! This mascara is aptly named as it gives you that beautiful, wide-eyed, doe-eyed look! Bambi indeed! I love that it lifts and curls my lashes effortlessly and provides added length. Elongated, winged-out lashes look very pretty on me. It also does provide that kind of attention-getting false-eyelash look! A case in point: I was asked recently if I was wearing false lashes! Nope I replied, I used one coat of LÓreal's Bambi False Lash Mascara! Oh my god, they replied, how did you achieve that with mascara? I don't know was my answer, but it's much easier than mucking around with false lashes!

I'd been on the lookout for a new black mascara and now I've found it! Thanks BR crew for introducing me to it! I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking for a mascara that has the X factor. This one definitely has it.

I've seen the ads for this mascara and the claims sounded promising. Unfortunately this just didn't live up to the hype for me. My lashes are sparse, short-ish and I have oily lids. The formulation isn't humidity proof so I found slight panda eyes by the end of the day. I didn't see much lengthening action either, but I did like that it didn't clump. However I think if you have longer thicker lashes, this might be the mascara for you.

I am very picky with my mascaras so I wasn't sure about this one...until I used it!

The shape of the applicator is oval which I found weird and normally ones I use are curved the opposite way. The applicator is also rubber rather than bristles which I prefer as it doesn't clog up with product.

My first use had me hooked. You know how normally when you first use a mascara it has soooo much product on it when you first pull it out..well this one didn't do that at all so the container must have a good design inside.

The first brush on my eyelashes went on so easy and kept all the lashes separated well. It did take a lot of coats and strokes because of the shape of the applicator, you can't get all lashes in one go. But I do wonder if this is how it creates the most amazing dimension to your lashes.

Not only do you get amazing dimension the lashes are soo long it's crazy! However because of the shape of my eyes this length did mean it rubbed on my eyelids and transferred product. This was the only downside to the product for me personally. I did look up to see if it came in waterproof and it does so that will be my next purchase to solve that little problem.

100% recommend this product, you wont be disappointed!

First off thanks so much BR for giving me the opportunity to be part of this trial. I had just run out of mascara so this was perfect timing for me.

It comes in a gorgeous metallic silver tube. I find it visually appealing. I however don't feel the need for the box it comes in. Just a waste of packaging to me. It came in black which is the only colour I ever use. The tube is quite chunky but it is easy to hold.

The brush has short bristles, it does a great job at coating my lashes and defining them. The formula is more on the dry side, I find one coat is all I can do otherwise it starts to clump, especially on my outer lashes. But one coat is really all I need so I'm ok with that.

My lashes are instantly noticeably longer and lush looking.  They fan out beautifully and are definitely more dramatic than the previous mascara I was using. I really love how they look.

I get no transfer or flaking at all. It stays put all day long until I remove with micellar water. This is a really great mascara for both day and night. A great affordable price also.

I loved the idea of this product from the get-go "Bambi eyes" says it all really?

Now, I am super picky with mascara brushes, I don't have the longest eyelashes, and they're all a bit wonky, so I love a brush that can coat them all, without also clumping them. I was worried when I first pulled the wand out, it was a plastic type brush top, with all even and straight bristles. I haven't had much luck with these type of brushes in the past, so imagine my surprise when my lashes were all evenly coated and lengthy without the clump?!

The first go I had, I didn't put too much on (for fear of clumping) and though the length was a little lacking, however, the second go I did with a heavier makeup look all over, I found I could easily build the length, and also noticed there was no transfer onto my lids (as sometimes happens with you have to push harder to coat lashes).

I think this is a genuinely great mascara, that does what it says, the packaging is fine although I was expecting something a little cuter...'cause you know 'bambi" and all that, but it's really not that important. It's build-able, forgiving and a great formula that I also noticed did not irritate my eyes at all, and I have pretty sensitive eyes at times.

I would happily re-purchase this, and also incorporate it into my everyday makeup I reach for!

L'Oreal Paris False Lash Bambi Eye Mascara in 'Black Velvet' promises a "doe-eye look, eye opening effect."

This mascara is packaged in a shiny silver torpedo-shaped or "D" shaped tube.  The flat, "Bambi Eye False Lash" printed side of the tube does help it to stop rolling off a flat surface, but it kind of ruins the sleek looking effect of this tube.

It contains 8.9mls of mascara, and the wand applicator is bulbous and chunky.  Personally, I'm not a fan of fat, wide mascara applicators.  I do prefer a more classic, slender mascara wand, but that's just personal preference and isn't a bad reflection on this product.

The consistency of the mascara formula is quite thin, so it coats every eyelash individually, without clumping.  I didn't really find that this mascara curled or elongated my lashes as much as other mascaras do, and I definitely didn't end up with a "doe-eyed" effect.

To get a slight 'false lash' effect, I did have to apply one coat of the Bambi Eye mascara to one eye, then apply one coat to the other eye while that coat dried, then go back and apply a second coat of mascara over the first (dried) layer.  Continuing to wait for coats to dry between applications until I had reached the desired look.

Usually I apply numerous coats of mascara to one eye at a time, to prevent the mascara from drying and clumping, but that doesn't work with this one.  Instead, if I keep applying more coats to one eye, I found that the mascara clumped and stuck my lashes together.  It's definitely better to wait for it to dry between coats, with this one.

Personally, I'm not all that impressed, and I get a better effect from a really cheap mascara. I don't like the fat wand, there was no lash curling effect as promised, if anything, it made my lashes stick out more straight than curling them upwards, and it feels like an average mascara that's promising big things.  The only thing that it does have going for it is that the mascara doesn't flake or transfer into 'panda eyes' on the lower lashes during the course of the day.  Once it's on, it stays where you put it. Sadly, that's not enough to make me want to purchase another tube of this when the time comes for me to replace it. 

The packaging for this product was nice and light which would make it ideal for travelling. It also meant the wand was easy to control and use. The bristle brush was really good at defining lashes. I had NO clumps at all after applying 3 layers of mascara. Despite being a normal non-waterproof mascara, this lasted me pretty much the whole day without the panda eye look I sometimes get due to my oily eyelids. This didn't really lengthen or add volume to my lashes but would make a great low-key work mascara- it's easy to use and I had soft fluttery lashes for a whole day.
