Product Description from Manufacturer:

Now, get the look of salon lash extensions with Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara. The Beauty Tubes lengthen your lashes up to 80% and last all day!

What it does:
Based on tubing technology, this mascara helps to extend the length of the eyelashes having a coat of extension tubing at the end of your eyelashes. This technology is not exactly break-through since it has already been around for some time.

However, Loreal has upped the benchmark by adding an additional white conditioning coat as primer for better extension.

Why I bought it:
By any standards, I'm not a mascara fiend, despite my small puny asian eyes. Furthermore, I wasn't a regular makeup user until my current job. So, I've always been a drugstore mascara fanatic. Loreal have worked for me previously, so there is no reason why I should shy away from their new products.

Packaging:
Standard mascara packaging with double ends instead of the usual 1.

Price:
This is probably one of the cheapest mascara using the same tubing technology. Plus, there is an additional conditioning coat that other competitors do not have.

Road Test:

I have to admit that I reused the photos for a previous review. I dont see the reason why I should retake a same set of photos for this review since I'm using the exact product.

One thing to note is that this product kind of clump easier. So, go slow and easy on this.

On the whole, I did saw some lengthening effect and my lashes looked defined. Like spider legs. However, it doesn't really deliver when it comes to volumizing. No gripes on that since it's meant to lengthen, not give volume. There are rants that it doesn't hold a curl well. But for my case, I'm happy with the curl that this mascara gives.

There was ABSOLUTELY no flaks nor smudging for this mascara. However, my lashes did have this plastic feeling to it. But no major cause of concern here.

Removal is relatively easy with warm water and off it comes. Don't be alarmed if you see strands of mascara as this are the "extensions" that were helping your lashes look longer than usual. I did get one or two of my own lashes coming off, but I think it was due to me being impatient. Always be gentle when removing eye makeup, and not tug it like what I did..

Verdict:
For the price, I would say it exceeded my expectations. But for qualification purposes, I'm not exactly a Mascara expert and I don't usually have high hopes for Mascara. As far as I'm concerned, this product delivered and exceed my baseline. For those who have long lashes and looking for volume, then I would suggest to look somewhere else.
