So I bought the mascara out of curiosity. Tried it on in class, and it’s ok..pls take a look at the pics below for a before and after
This is what they say in their website (http://www.rimmellondon.com/Us/products/eyes/product.aspx?id=280):
One coat of LYCRA® Lash Extender Mascara stretches and extends even difficult lashes for an impresive high performance result with 14 hour curl hold. A New high-adhesion, quick dry LYCRA® formula delivers smudge-proof, smear-proof and flake-proof wear for girls on the go.
Verdict:
One coat is definitely not enough! It doesn’t give a lot of product on the lashes. I think I coat mine with 2-3 times. Curling power is ok, lengthening power is ok..overall it’s just an OK mascara..nothing special..no volume..I feel that there are other mascaras that are better than this 1 out there, so why spend the $$ in the OK mascara?

Regarding Lycra Lash Extender: I started using it about 2 weeks ago. It makes my lashes extend two, maybe 3 times, longer than any other mascara I’ve ever used in 45 years of wearing makeup. No, the one I picked doesn’t have a lot of volume to it; but, then, I don’t have a lot of lashes. What it doesn’t do is clump, get tacky and smear. I use the black color, and I’m very pleased with it. I’ve tried all brands (Covergirl, Maybeline, Revlon, etc), and this is the first time I’ve been satisfied in a very long time. I hope you won’t change the formula! I noticed that there are other types of the Lycra Lash Extender mascara that may produce more volume; I’m going to try them, as well.
Thank you.
