I have always been a big fan of L'Oreal products, particularly the mascaras. The L'Oreal panoramic curl mascara is one of the best I have used in terms of keeping your eyelashes curled and lengthening them. (The waterproof version is better than the non-waterproof.)
Recently I bought the L'Oreal Collagene Extra Volume mascara (non-waterproof). It's pretty expensive for a product you can buy at the chemist (around $26). The packaging is really lovely and the brush is an interesting shape, as you can see from the above picture.
Unfortunately I'm not that happy with the performance. There are two main problems. The first is that it is supposed to give your eyelashes more volume and it did not really do this on me. Perhaps also because it aims to thicken the eyelashes, the formulation is pretty thick and heavy and makes my eyelashes straight no matter how much I curl them before. This could also be due to the fact that I have naturally thin, straight eyelashes. The second issue is that when I apply the mascara on my lower lashes, by the end of the day the product will always smudge leaving me with black/grey messy smudges under my eyes.
One good thing about this product is that it does lengthen your eyelashes a little.
I would probably not buy this product again, especially given its price. That said, it has not deterred me from trying other L'Oreal mascaras in the future, as my past experiences with them have been wonderful. I think mascara is a very personal product and something that works well on one person can be dreadful on another.
