The One Product I Couldn't Live Without: L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara

I previously mentioned this product in my June post of Products I Can/Can't Live Without: Part Two, and to really hit my point home I thought I would do a couple of swatches for you. I have naturally very straight lashes; they don't point down, as I know some people do have that problem, they just point straight forward. Due to this, mascara is always the one product I reach for. I don't wear make up to work, as the environment  is so hot that it would just melt straight off, but I do add a layer of mascara if I need to feel like I'm wearing something.

L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara in shade 'Extra Black'
As you can see, it has a plastic brush with very short, triangular spokes instead of the traditional bristles. I always go for mascara in shades like this, or 'carbon black' - I haven't actually experimented to see if there's a colour difference between these and regular blacks, I'm just a sucker for a good advert! The neck of the bottle also has an extra ledge (what is this bit called?) to remove any clumps from the brush.

As you can see, there is a pretty dramatic difference between the before and after pictures, and a lot of added volume between the pictures featuring one and two layers of the product! To achieve this look I also curled my lashes with Superdrug's own brand mechanical eyelash curler.

I love converting people to this product as it's my absolute favourite beauty product, and will probably continue to be for many years to come! It retails for £10.99 at Superdrug, and so is on the more-expensive end of the high-street mascaras, but it is definitely worth it!



Have you tried this product before? What do you think of it?

    1. Oh no! I always buy multiples as Superdrug always have it on offer for some reason, although I'm not complaining!

    1. Thank you! :) I don't think I'll ever stray from L'Oreal mascaras, they're so good! Telescopic will be next on my list to team with this one!
