Double Extend Mascara (31)

I’m a little tired so hopefully this entry won’t sound crazy

Finally got to try this mascara! Saw it on Project Runway then in one of my magazines (but I can’t find it again, lol.) Got it at Target for $7.99 (sale yo!) It’s a fiber mascara that includes a primer. I hadn’t used a fiber or a primer before but I really wanted something that was dramatic but also non-smudging so I could use it on my lower lashes. I’ve tried tons of waterproof mascaras on my lower lashes and they always smudged after a few hours giving me raccoon eyes.

Sadly I’ve only been able to wear this after work in the evenings so I can’t 100% contest to the non-smudging just yet. Friday I’ll get to really put it to work since I’ll be back in the office. So far though, no smudging especially from the lower lashes! YES, YES!

This is supposed to be an alternative to wearing falsies to achieve length. I found it did lengthen and add drama, but it can’t match up to some of the more dramatic lashes out there. BUT it did add as much drama as when I wear natural lashes. It’s a little time consuming to put on but I don’t really mind that. It’s also a heavier mascara but that was expected. Can’t have drama without weight in the eyemake world! The only complaint I really have is it looks like it’ll take some practice getting used to using the primer wand better. One eye came out really nice with lashes separated but when I did my left eye my lashes sorta clumped together. I’m not used to using primers, LOL
