L'Oreal's Extra-Volume Collagen Mascara Review
It's been a while!

I'm sorry for not posting for a while, I've had so much work to do at university that I've completely neglected reviewing!

Today's post will be based around my current favourite product - L'Oreal's Extra-Volume Collagen Mascara. I got this (as I usually end up with most of my make-up!) in one of those clearance boxes in my local Tesco, which is why I ended up with a brown shade instead of my usual black. I have to say though, the only difference is how it looks on the brush - it looks just like a black mascara on my lashes.
I've been using L'Oreal's Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black for years because of how lovely and thick it made my lashes. The only problem being is that it seemed to dry up quickly and the brush would get easily clumped. The Collagen mascara has an AMAZING brush! I love thick brushes with lots of bristles, which was exactly what was missing from Voluminous. The texture at first was a little runny for my liking, but after about a month it seemed to settle down into a nice consistency to allow you to build up layers more easily.
The only downside to this product is that it always tends to get into my eye towards the end of the day and it stings like crazy and makes my eye run - a never ending circle!
