Product Review: L'Oreal Double Extend 24-Hour Lash Boosting System, B+

Hey everyone!

Up for review today is L'Oreal's new Double Extend Lash Boosting System ($21-$24). This system includes two products, a lash boosting serum (that retails for roughly $10-$12) and the double extend mascara (retails for roughly $10-$12).




I'm a Bzz Agent, so I received this package about four weeks ago. Over the past four weeks I've been using this system fairly regularly and I have to say, it's a really nice product overall. Some may find the layering of the serum and the mascara a bit much, but if you *lightly* layer the products, you're in good shape.

The Good:
  • Nice results, my lashes are longer, fuller lashes in generally in better condition
  • No clumping or flaking
  • Easy to wash off with regular face wash
  • Accessible product
  • Fine for those with contacts (I'm a testament to that!)
The Bad:
  • The system is a little pricey - at $21-$24 for both products, that's roughly the same cost of an awesome Lancome or Dior mascara
  • Some people will not be a fan of using the serum on bare lashes at night
  • The layering (serum, base coat, mascara) is a bit much and problematic is not applied in rapid succession
The Verdict: B+
  • L'Oreal has a great idea here, and a nice product overall
  • Here's hoping they run price promotion on the package deal
If I had to choose the serum or the mascara, I'd probably choose the mascara. Why? Well, the base coat of the mascara includes the serum properties!

Would you try this product? What's your favorite mascara?
