Up for review today is L'Oreal's new Double Extend Lash Boosting System ($21-$24). This system includes two products, a lash boosting serum (that retails for roughly $10-$12) and the double extend mascara (retails for roughly $10-$12).
I'm a Bzz Agent, so I received this package about four weeks ago. Over the past four weeks I've been using this system fairly regularly and I have to say, it's a really nice product overall. Some may find the layering of the serum and the mascara a bit much, but if you *lightly* layer the products, you're in good shape.
The Good:
- Nice results, my lashes are longer, fuller lashes in generally in better condition
- No clumping or flaking
- Easy to wash off with regular face wash
- Accessible product
- Fine for those with contacts (I'm a testament to that!)
- The system is a little pricey - at $21-$24 for both products, that's roughly the same cost of an awesome Lancome or Dior mascara
- Some people will not be a fan of using the serum on bare lashes at night
- The layering (serum, base coat, mascara) is a bit much and problematic is not applied in rapid succession
- L'Oreal has a great idea here, and a nice product overall
- Here's hoping they run price promotion on the package deal
Would you try this product? What's your favorite mascara?

I am using the RapidLash serum. My MIL had given it to me in the summer, but I didn't use it until October. I wanted to see if she had any bad side affects first !;)
You can use this on top and lower lashes and eye brows. They have all become darker and longer. I spoke to the eye Dr. about the product and asked if I would have any more fullness with the Latisse and she said it was the same and I had not been using the rapidlash long enough or consistently enough everyday for the fullness to develop. It is a brush on serum application and costs $50 per tube. I buy it in Bed, Bath and Beyond with the 20% off coupon.

wow how cool! I usually use L'oreal's voluminious mascara if I use a drug store brand
That's awesome, Kathy...Latisse seemed like such a cool brand, glad to know there is a much more affordable substitute!
Amber - I'm a fan of L'Oreal Voluminous, too! I'm a mascara ho...
