INCREDIBLE!
Literally AMAZING. makes my lashes SO long. My lashes are short, as soon as I tried this mascara I saw HUGE difference. It doesn’t rip my lashes out, and it’s easy to apply and take off. After I started udon this mascara, I noticed my lashes actually started to grow!! Incredible and 110% recommend.

New favorite!!
Super happy with this mascara! The brush really lets you build length, it dries well and doesn’t flake or smudge, plus it’s rare I can find a brown mascara that actually looks brown when applied! Telescopic used to be my go to but this just topped it!

This was broken inside the sealed package and I didn’t catch it until opening it, so I can’t return. This is so unlike Target; I have always had great product until this mascara that I wanted to try.

Lashes are LONG after like two coats! And it last all day, occasion flaking so that’s why I give it 4 stars but it is water proof and adds volume to my lashes for sure would recommend!

Must try if you have short lashes
Great stuff, compared to the WOW mascara but less expensive. It does dry out quickly so buy 2 at a time.

Perfect application
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the brush/applicator of this mascara. It makes it so easy to apply and it makes my eyelashes look amazing. It doesn’t make my eyelashes look clumpy or weird.

This mascara can help make your lashes reach the g
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] L’Oreal Extensionist Mascara (in Black) definitely delivers when it comes to length and volume! After just two coats, my lashes look super defined and noticeably more dramatic. Almost as if I’m wearing lash extensions! (However, I don’t stop at two coats! ;)) The formula itself is great. It’s very lightweight on the lashes, even after a number of coats. It lasts all day without smearing or flaking, but still washes off easily at the end of the day, which is a huge plus. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and it hasn’t seemed to dry out or anything yet. The brush is my only hesitation. While it claims to have over 300 bristles (which I certainly believe, because it does separate lashes well), I feel like the design of the brush could be tweaked a bit. With that being said, I do love the packaging. It’s very sleek. Overall, I really like the look this mascara gives and the staying power is solid. My only question is the price— it feels a bit high for a drugstore mascara, unless I can catch a sale. Still, if you’re looking for length, volume, and that “lash extension” effect, this one is worth a try!

Ok. It smudged mid day. I was excited to try it but it didn’t live up to its name. If this is supposed to be a tubing mascara, Milani mascara is better.

Didnt make my lashes long
Didn’t make my lashes long that’s why I don’t listen to influencers.

Don't recommend at all
I wish I could give this zero stars. It’s awful. Tried to use once and it’s junk. Wish I could get my money back. Don’t waste your money.

Hello SD native! Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding our Extensionist Curling & Lengthening Mascara. We are very sorry to hear that this formula did not meet your expectations for your lash routine, as we strive to provide high-quality beauty solutions that deliver visible results. To help achieve the best lift and separation with a lengthening mascara, we suggest wiggling the wand slowly at the very base of your lashes before sweeping upward in a steady motion to ensure every lash is evenly coated from root to tip. This technique can help maximize the curling effect while preventing any clumping for a more defined look. We truly appreciate your honest review and your time.

So far, good.
I think this will be my new every day mascara. Easy to apply. Not flaking so far. I tried it today with no other eye makeup so I could get a good idea. I haven’t removed yet so I will see how that goes.

A Mascara That Actually Delivers Without the Panda
In the end, I finally decided to leave my review about this mascara. What can I say: the mascara is genuinely good quality. It doesn’t flake, it doesn’t smudge, and by the end of the day I don’t look like an angry panda with dark circles under my eyes. When this product first appeared on the market, I tried to figure out how to order a sample before buying it, but unfortunately I couldn’t find a way. So I decided to take another chance and purchase it anyway. Usually I fall for advertising and later regret the money spent and the hope of finding my perfect mascara, but this time I did not regret it at all. The brush is very comfortable to use, it creates a great effect on the lashes, and my sensitive eyes never reacted badly to it. The only thing I did to make the mascara last longer was occasionally clean the tube opening from dried mascara so nothing would fall inside, and I would wipe the brush from time to time. Yesterday I finally had to let that tube go simply because it was completely empty, and I bought a new fresh one exactly the same. I also want to add a few words about the price. The price is quite reasonable compared to other expensive mascaras that did not work for me and left the feeling that the money was wasted and the product was not what the advertising promised. So that is another pleasant advantage of this purchase.

Love love LOVE this mascara
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love love LOVE this mascara! I will preface this by saying that I am a pro makeup artist. I’ve tried probably over 100 different mascara brands and this one definitely lives up to the hype! From the applicator to the actual formula, it dies exactly what it says it will do. I have medium thickness and length lashes and this mascara made it look like I was wearing natural style falsies! I used a lash curler before I applied it but I can definitely tell that this mascara helped my lashes hold that curl all day. It also does not flake like some other more expensive popular high end brands which is a huge plus for the price point. I also only needed to apply 2 coats to get that length and fullness as advertised. I highly recommend this product if you are looking to get extra length and fullness out of a mascara.
