Loreal Double Extend Mascara - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

Has anyone tried Loreal Double Extend Mascara? It's the one with a double tube....one side has this white extender creme that you first brush on your lashes, then the other side has the (color) Magnifier, which is like regular mascara color, that you brush over the extender creme.

If you use it, my question is.....after brushing on the (white) extender creme, do you wait a few minutes for it to "dry" before brushing on the Magnifier color? Or do you just apply the Magnifier color immediately after the extender? (the instructions don't give you any idea!)

You wait a couple of minutes for the extender to dry.

I liked the way it made my lashes look, but I had terrible flaking from the fibers, so I had to stop using it.

Haven't used it myself but that's because I was put off by all the negative reviews I've read about it being messy and flaking.

I have not tried the Loreal kind, but I did buy the Maybelline XXL stuff. It's the same kind of deal, where you put the white stuff on first, then the black. I let the white stuff dry only as long as it takes me to do both upper and both lower lashes, then I start in with the black. The white is mostly dry by this time and that seems to work pretty well.

At first, I didn't like this mascara, but I read on here that someone else said it actually got better after a week or so, and they were right!! Now, I LOVE it! I haven't had a problem with flaking at all, even though it removes easily with soap and water or make-up remover.

Hmmm...I haven't had any problem with the Loreal Double Extend Mascara flaking. I really like it a lot so far...it really makes my short lashes longer.
