L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara - review and swatches

Today I will be reviewing my first L'Oreal mascara. I've always thought L'Oreal mascaras were too expensive but I wanted to try one, as I usually like their products. Ok, let's start...

My experience with L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara:
I'll start with the things I like about it: it is very black and offers a lot of volume to my lashes. I am lucky to have long lashes by nature, that is why I don't care if a mascara pretends to lengthens, I'm just not interested in this, my lashes look long no matter what I wear. Every time I buy one, I'm only searching for volume and this one offers volume. Not “million lashes”, but you can notice the fullness. However, I don't think it elongates them very much. One thing some of you wouldn't appreciate about it is that the lashes will start clumping with more than 2 coats. But I like it, you can see the result in the pictures below:

The brush is ok, just the right size, not too small, not too big.
Mine is not waterproof.

The bad:
First of all, the packaging feels cheap, it started to exfoliate from the first day, I was wondering if it was an original mascara (I bought it from Auchan).
But the biggest issue with this product is that it flakes terribly. Right after applying it (I only apply mascara to my upper lashes) it gets under my eyes and things get worse during the day. By the end of the day, my face is full of flakes. I am surprised to read reviews which state there is no flakiness.

If you don't care about flakiness, you can try this. Unfortunately, I won't buy it again.
If you want to buy it, you can find it at Boots or Ulta.

Have you tried L’Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara? What do you think of it?

Review: L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes 

Astazi voi face review pentru primul meu rimel L'Oreal. Intotdeauna am considerat ca rimelurile L'Oreal sunt prea scumpe, dar vroiam sa incerc unul deoarece imi plac produsele lor. Ok, sa incepem...

Experienta mea cu rimelul L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes:
O sa incep prin a spune ce-mi place la el: este foarte negru si ofera mult volum genelor. Sunt norocoasa sa am gene lungi din nastere, de aceea nu ma intereseaza daca un rimel alungeste sau nu genele, chiar nu ma intereseaza aspectul asta, genele mele sunt lungi oricum. Cand imi cumpar un rimel caut intotdeauna sa ofere volum, iar acesta nu face exceptie. Nu imi ofera “milioane de gene”, dar se poate observa volumul obtinut in urma aplicarii. Totusi, nu cred ca alungeste genele foarte mult. Un aspect care s-ar putea sa nu placa unora dintre voi este ca, dupa mai mult de 2 straturi, genele incep sa se lipeasca intre ele. Dar imi place rezultatul, il puteti vedea poze.

Peria este ok, are marimea potrivita, nici prea mica, nici prea mare.
Cel cumparat de mine nu este rezistent la apa.

Aspecte negative:
In primul rand, ambalajul pare ieftin, a inceput sa se cojeasca din prima zi, ma intrebam daca este intr-adevar original (l-am cumparat din Auchan).
Dar cea mai mare nemultumire a mea este data de faptul ca rimelul se faramiteaza ingrozitor. Imediat cum am terminat de aplicat (aplic intotdeauna rimelul doar pe genele de sus), cade sub zona ochilor si lucrul acesta devine din ce in ce mai rau pe parcursul zilei. Pana la sfarsitul zilei, fata imi e plina de “fulgi” negri. Sunt surprinsa sa citesc review-uri care specifica faptul ca nu se faramiteaza/imprastie.
Daca nu va deranjeaza acest lucru, puteti sa-l incercati. Din pacate, eu nu o sa-l mai cumpar.

Voi ati incercat L’Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara? Cum vi s-a parut?

  2. Well, this is the only (affordable) mascara I tried, which doesn't at least leave marks on my eyelids (which are very oily by nature)...
    And I really got used to that brush. I think I had a couple of these purchased already :)

  3. Have you tried Max Factor False Lash Effect? I like it more than this, L'Oreal Million Lashes has fall-outs which I've never experienced with False Lash Effect.
    Thanks for stopping by!:)

  5. Si eu am primit acest rimel cadou, de obicei o folosesc la ocazii speciale, pentru zilele obisnuite folosesc unul mai ieftin de la Avon. Itr-adevar au tendinta sa se lipeasca genele dupa 2 straturi, in schimb nu mi s-a parut sa se faramiteze si ambalajul e super ok, ma gandesc ca poate nu ai avut noroc cu mascara ta. Dar daca aplici doar 2 straturi cred ca o poti folosi oricum mersi pentru review! :*
