For a girl who doesn’t wear much makeup, I do love the basics when I do put on my face. My 5 min face includes: under eye concealer, eyeliner, blush, lip balm and MASCARA. I was really lucky to be approached by the great people at
Matchstick.ca to review the
NEW L'oreal Double Extend Beauty Tube. I’ve always had a problem with short lashes and when I saw commercials about the 2 formula mascaras I was really interested in trying it out to see if they really worked.
So let’s get right into it and check out if this is fab or drab...
The quick and easy steps to get long lush eyelashes.
BEFOREYes, those little barely there lashes are mine. Short, thin, and straight...they need a lot of help to give them the “umph” factor!
Nourishing base coat that preps my lashes.
First Coat: Lookie Lookie I see some long lashes!!!
Second Coat: TA-DA!!! Added the second coat, plus a light trace of eyeliner.
It may not be 80% longer, but they sure look longer then they did in my before picture.
Washing with warm water, those little tubes do come off.
Check out my cotton ball!
Verdict:The product was easy to use and it lasted all day. The first time I tried it, it seemed a bit clumpy. So I tried it again, this time wiggling the brush at the base and then sweeping it upwards, this technique worked much better. I personally would like thicker lashes, but this mascara does what it said it would do...it EXTENDED my lashes!! I think if you have thicker lashes than mine (which I know many of you beauties out there do) this could be an excellent mascara to try out, because it will literally lengthen your lashes.

I got the chance to go to Ms. Beyonce's concert while she was in town, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. She had an abundance of energy, and her voice is exceptional! I wasn't sitting close, but her voice was spectacular and her all female band showed that girls can play just as well as men do. (maybe even better). All her costumes showcased her strong dancing legs, and they ranged from the Sasha Fierce to the simple elegance of Beyonce. I thought it was worth every penny, and I'm sure everyone in the stadium thought so too. She was professional and grateful of all the fans which makes her even more #1 in my books.
