Review: L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen Mascara

Okay Bella's.. Here's the scoop on the latest L'Oreal mascara.. The L'Oreal Extra Volume Collage mascara is love. I believe I love it so much because the wand is reminiscent to that of the Colossal Volume by Maybelline, which is my all time favorite mascara. Okay, so this mascara claims that it give lashes 12x more impact. I would say more like 4x the impact. This mascara is definitely buildable, so technically it could give more impact if you do more than two application.

As a contact lenses wear this mascara did not irritate my eyes at the end of the day. There was no flaking, which is great. Who wants to have flakes of mascara on their face at the end of the day. The greatest of all is that it does not leave your lashes hard.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this mascara. It retails for $7.95 and is available at most drugstores.

Review: L'oreal RevitaLift Deep Set wrinkle Eye Repair

I was recently given the opportunity to test the NEW L'Oreal RevitaLift Deep-Set Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream. According to L'Oreal the benefit of using this product is that it provides 24 hour intensive repair for under eye wrinkles. Now that thirty is in my very near future, I went to take preventative measures to minimize wrinkles. Also, I must mention that I am noticing little fine lines around my eyes. You have to imagine my excitement, when I found out the benefits of this product. To find out if this product lives up to its claims; Read on.

Pro's

This product is a duo, so it has a AM/PM side

The AM formulation has SPF 15

Very lightweight

Absorbs very quickly

Con's

You do not get a lot of product for your dollars (retails for $19.99)

Very drying

Overall: I would not buy this product again. I feel this product did the opposite for me. It made my fine line more prominent. I think it may be due to the lack of moisture in the PM side. I want to say that this product is probably for more mature skin.
