This is amazing!!

I’ve never used a mascara like this before, and have always used fake lashes for that *extra* look so wasn’t too sure what to expect. This mascara has definitely exceeded my expectations by a mile. Using this, I was able to get the fake lash look without mucking around with glue etc. The 2-step method works so well, but the primer builds enough length that you could use it on its own without needing to apply the building fibres. I prefer to use both solutions as I’ve come to love the length I’ve gained using this. There were a couple of issues however. If you want lots of volume, I wouldn’t suggest this first as it’s definitely more for length. When applying, you have to work quickly as the formula dried out pretty quickly so the first couple of times using it I was left with long, clumpy lashes. I used a lash seperater wand to sort this out, but found it was less clumpy the quicker I worked. Overall, I’m super happy with this mascara and will happily buy this again for everyday use.

Tips: Work quickly to minimise clumping. Try and warm the mascara tube up to make it a bit easier to apply. Step 1 works well as a nice mascara without the extra length from step 2. More is more if you want a mega fake lash look!

Lashes the old fashioned way

My lashes are average at best, they’re very straight and flat, one side curls but the other resists, and while they’re not stubby, they’d hardly be mistaken for long and luscious.

This mascara reminds me of ones they did years ago with the white primer at one end and mascara at the other. This formula looks better with both sides being black and quite frankly they could both be used as stand alone mascaras, but by pairing the more fibre based formula in number two over number one that does create extra length.

You can get very similar results by applying mascara the old fashioned way, where you layer more of your usual mascara over a dried layer. But this sits slightly nicer I think.

The length itself wasn’t probably much different to other lengthening mascaras - which with one applicator I’d probably be more inclined to stick to.

While in terms of volume I couldn’t see much difference.

I think the idea is interesting and the results not bad.

Tips: Play around with the two mascaras to see what works for you.

I really liked it

This was a really good mascara that made my already long eyelashes even longer without clumping them. Even though it has two sides to it, it isn't hard to use. I'd definitely buy it after this has been used up!

Great for bottom lashes

This mascara arrived with no excess packaging, perfect! The 2 ends are clearly labelled ‘1’ and ‘2’ so you know which to apply first. Step 1, the volumising primer, has a straight brush. I found this very easy to apply, and was the only coat I applied to my bottom lashes and it was perfect for them. Step 2 has a curved application brush. This was simple to apply and get onto those small inner lashes. There was no clumping from either mascara. I was disappointed with the amount of extension provided by this mascara. I didn’t feel it was any more than I have achieved with other mascaras, so the name ‘XXL’ seems a bit excessive. I did find that throughout the day, some of the filaments fell out around my eyes. Even worse when I accidentally swiped them causing smudges. Given the price, I think you can achieve the same, if not better, look with cheaper mascaras

Not my favourite mascara...

I was so excited to try this L'Oreal PRO XXL EXTENSION mascara as part of the trial teams. I did not really have many expectations except for a lot of length to my lashes. I found this mascara to be average. I found the first step to dry too quickly and when I layered on the second step, it got a bit clumpy. I would have preferred if there was a more straightforward way to apply as this was time consuming. I do not think that the fibres added much length at all, but this mascara was definitely very volumising. One positive of this mascara is that it did not smudge or flake on my under-eyes and lasted all day. My absolute favourite mascara is Maybelline Sky High, and part of the reason is because it's user friendly and easy to apply, and it gives amazing length and volume.

Tips: If you are looking for a mascara that makes your lashes thick and very voluminous, then I'd definitely give this mascara a go! You need to work quickly so step 1 doesn't dry before you add step 2.

Nice and wispy....

I have been using the L’Oreal PRO XXL Extension mascara, this mascara involves two steps via two different wands.

Step one is the volume primer - this layer applies easily and looks great. Step two adds the fibres for lengthening (the wand is curved) - this layer also applies nicely. I found it better to add the second layer straightaway (before layer one dries).

I found the mascara sat neatly on my lashes and lasted well all day. The mascara made my lashes nice and fine/wispy without clumps or flakey (bonus!)

I did struggle to remove the mascara completely at the end of day, as I had black eyes in morning!

Overall, I found this mascara left my lashes looking great!

The only downside is whether I could be bothered with two steps every morning

Wouldn't purchase

I really wanted to love this because for special occasions I currently use two different mascaras, one for volume and one for length and this 2 in one product could've solved this. However, unfortunately I didn't love it. I really liked the volumising step one on it's own, I felt it did a great job of adding volume without clumps and the brush didn't have an excess amount of product on it like some mascaras do. But I found when I added step two, the lengthening mascara, it didn't really add to the overall look except for going clumpy and making multiple lashes stick together which kind of undid the volumising effect of step one. So I'll continue to use it but only step one and I don't think I'd buy it again.

Good stuff

Being blonde and pale skinned my lashes are fair and hardly noticeable without mascara, so its the one make up item I always wear. I didn't notice any scent and I didn't have any adverse reaction so that's always good! I thought it was strange when I first opened it as it looked as though the brush was dry, but it had plenty on when I applied it. It looked good after one application ,my lashes were separated and thickened, but not clumpy at all. When I applied the second side it thickened them up more but I didn't particularly notice the lengthening affect, I have long lashes anyway as I have been using a lash lengthening product. I did like that I only needed to put those two coats on, as I often have to layer on mascara several times to get the desired effect. I noticed it was quite hard to remove with my usual eye makeup remover, I guess that's a good thing if you want all day wear without smudging, but it was a bit of a mission to remove before bed. Overall a good product, but not the best I've ever used.

It does what it says

Great mascara for length and volume, it works as it says, is also non-clumpy, and brushes are nice to use. For me the downside is having 2 different products I would prefer 2 in 1 as I tend to just use one end in the haste to get ready. However this is a small downside. It comes off reasonably easily with oil cleanser and only had one instance of it smudging. Overall I liked it.

Tips: You can use one or the other end or both and get a good result

Was impressed by this mascara

Ok I'm a real fuss pot when it comes to mascara's! I was really happy to be chosen for this trial as I do love L'Oreal products and it sounded great.

I liked the tube, the colour was a nice dark purpley colour and quite streamlined. Each end was clearly labelled with a 1 or 2 so you could tell which to put on first. I like how the middle of the tube (part you hold onto) was ribbed like so you could grip it easily.

The brush for the volumising primer is shaped larger at the end than the middle, so I used this first to prime the lashes - on it's own this actually gave my lashes a bit of volume/length at the get go.

The next step is the super fibers - this brush is curved, both brushes are a good size and have the longer bristles which I like. The second step was applied straight after the primer, I wasn't really sure if I should wait for the primer to dry first, so applied straight away. I used the "wiggle" from base to tip to ensure a good coverage.

It actually works really well, it definitely lengthened my lashes and gave them a kind of false lash effect which was great.

I also tried waiting for the primer to dry first before applying the fibre step, but I think it works better if you don't wait for them to dry, that's just my opinion.

One other good thing about this mascara is that I got it to wash off pretty easily, which I wasn't sure about as I'm really fussy about being able to get it off without losing lashes!

I like the mascara and would use it again, the only downside for me is the time to apply several coats and dependent on the price also.

Tips: Not really, works best if you do the "wiggle" when applying from base to tip
