L'Oreal PRO XXL VOLUME MASCARA

I haven’t tried a 2 step mascara in years and years so was super keen to see how things had changed in that time. It was really easy to apply, I did step 1 which is white on both pages then went in with step 2 with the black. Both formulas easily coated my lashes and was very pleased to see no clumping! I don’t have long lashes but they’re not short and I’m not normally one to go for a volumising product because I’ve always swayed toward length but I felt this gave me a decent amount of length. It dried down quickly, no smudging, no panda eyes and no flaking. I found it really defined my individual lashes and fanned them out really nicely without making them clumpy or thick. I was really impressed. And to top it all off I found it lasted all day, through groceries and running round after kids and cooking dinner etc. but when the time comes to clean it off it comes away easily with my oil cleanser Definitely adding this one to my repurchase list for mascara and I tell you it’s hard to sway me from my tried and trues but this definitely gave me great results. Would be interested to try the others in this range as I see a few were released.

Love using this mascara. I feel as I've got older my lashes certainly aren't as full and long as what the use to be. This mascara has definitely given them the oomph they need. It is super easy to apply with the 2 steps. I haven't found it gluggy at all. And it seems to last quite well all day at work with my glasses on. Highly recommend!

Was stoked to finally receive the new L’Oréal pro xxl volume mascara. Item did not come in any sort of packaging but the mascara itself had both ends labeled with 1 and 2 to indicate which side to use first. I do have long lashes but volume is something my lashes lack and am always in search of a good mascara that does the job. Pretty simple and easy to use. The first step and I guess the most important step is to PRIME. The primer is white same as other mascaras that come with primers. The wand for the primer is nice and straight and pretty long which I like as it made application a lot easier and I was able to cover a lot of lashes in one stroke. The second step is to apply the actual mascara. The wand for the mascara is slightly curved to give that perfect lash lift effect. The mascara colour itself is darkest black which is something that I love personally and look for in mascaras. Again step 2 was very easy to apply. Now the result- WOW VOLUME!!! I loved how this looked and the amount of volume my lashes got by using this product. Great daily use mascara and I would highly recommend this to people who are looking for volume. The trick is to PRIME really well and wait a minute or two before applying the mascara. Only thing to remember is that this is not waterproof so have to be mindful of that. Overall a great product and does pretty much what it claims to do.

I am such a fan of this mascara and would recommend it to everyone. I was a little critical before trying this as the 2 step to apply seemed like it would be annoying but it’s super quick and is seriously worth it. It’s a bit strange having white lashes for a minute once you apply the primer but it makes your lashes so thick! 100% gives you a heap of volume and length I am so impressed. I have had slight flakes under my lower lash line at the end of the day but nothing major and am overall super happy with this. The packaging makes it feel quite expensive but it’s a very reasonable price point. It also comes off so easily with a cleanser which is great as I don’t have to rub at my eyes. I will even be buying this for my mum for Xmas. It is quite a long tube as it has primer and mascara so it’s not super travel friendly but otherwise it’s awesome.

With trepidation I opened my mascara package, hopefully to find one to meet my needs. I have short and sparse lashes. So the label says XXL Volume. We know L'Oreal makes great products, but could it solve my lash problem. Here goes ... It is a two step process, but easier and quicker than I expected. The first step seemed to isolate and prime lashes ready for the big promise of things to come. The second step coats and highlights the lashes easily. They looked longer and thicker. They didn't smudge or flake off at all and best of all, they didn't need a second or third coat as other mascaras have needed. My lashes looked great all day, was I impressed, yes! Happy with the product, yes! Would I buy it again? YES! The price is comparable with most mascaras, it didn't irritate my eyes like some others had, therefore in my eyes, it's a winner.

I was very excited to try this mascara. It looks very attractive with its shape and size, draws your eyes to it. Unfortunately, every time I put it on, I would find it smudging down my eyes everyday. I have never had this issue with any other mascara i have previously used.

I tried it both with and without the primer to see what kind of a difference it made, and didn’t feel the primer added much of a difference to the effect the mascara had other than slightly filling them out.

It gave a nice fullness and length, but not what it advertised.

I sometimes have sensitive eyes and this didn’t give me any irritation which is good.

Was a bit confused when it arrived as it didn’t come with any packaging so wasn’t sure what to do with a 2 ended mascara. Thankfully Mr Google had the answer, which in hindsight wasn’t that difficult to work out. First use the end (1) and apply, then use end (2) and apply. (1) Is a brush coated in a white substance (primer), which when applied adds volume and length to your lashes, then (2) Is a second brush which is the black mascara and this is applied over the first coat.

On first use, I only applied one coat of each and it definitely adds length, and some volume. On second use I tried adding two coats of the black mascara, but it tended to become a bit clumpy so my advice is to stick to just the one coat of each. Also best to apply them straight after each other, I didn’t find any need to let the first coat dry before applying the second. It stayed on all day without flaking and was easy to remove with my normal cleansing routing in the evening.

The only downside was when applying the black mascara the brush did get quite clumpy on the end, so my tip is to keep a tissue handy to wipe off the tip of the brush.

It definitely made my lashes look longer and more noticeable. I’d highly recommend and would absolutely purchase again. The females in my family just might find one in their Christmas stockings this year to try!!

Although this mascara was lovely to apply and looked great, it all ended up under my eyes after a few hours. Most mascaras don’t do this when using a primer so not sure why this one did. It was convenient having a primer and mascara in the same package but also the labelling could be improved as without my glasses on it was difficult to see which end was 1or 2. I wouldn’t use this product again as I have used far better primers/mascara before.

I was quite excited to receive the L’Oréal xxl mascara to see if it could make a difference to my lashes.

It’s quite a big mascara container as it has the primer at one end and the mascara at the other but you soon get used to it.

The first step is the primer and you apply this with a straight brush which helps to spread it evenly. It was strange coating my lashes in white. It’s very easy to put on and my lashes were ready for step two.

The mascara brush is curved and goes on easily over the primer. I was worried it would look quite clumpy but it looked really even, and made my lashes look fantastic.

I haven’t tried lash extensions but I feel this mascara is somewhere in between lash extensions and normal mascara.

It definitely made an impact as I’ve had a couple of people comment about my lashes since wearing it.

The size of the mascara handle is a bit bigger than I’m used it doesn’t take long to get used to.

I’d definitely recommend this product if you want more impact than normal mascara but not quite lash extensions.

This is a great mascara and perfect for everyday. Super easy to apply with the 2 steps. First coat lashes with the primer then top with mascara. This was easy to do and i found the applicator brushes really good to use, they're nice and firm which ensures good coverages of all lashes. It definitely adds volume and lengthens lashes without feeling too heavy or clumpy like some mascaras can be. It lasts all day without smuging and I have also found that at the end of the day its really easy to remove with a bit of make up remover.
