New In: L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Feline Mascara

I’m a sucker for mascaras. There I said it.

If you’re bringing out a new mascara, I want to try it. I am well and truly addicted. Some might think that one mascara cannot be that different to the next and to that I say – you have a lot to learn my friend, a lot. Gone are the days that mascaras simply tint the lashes, preventing women all over the world from looking like little eggheads. Today mascaras are one of the most bought, reviewed and coveted beauty items on the market.

So with a new release from L’Oreal promising to make lashes longer, more volumised and more ‘feline’ I was at the front of the queue.

I’ve been trying out the new addition to the ever popular Volume Million line; the Volume Million Lashes Feline Mascara for a couple of weeks now and I’m a little torn.

Firstly, lets get the marketing gimmick out of the way, this mascara will not magically give you a dramatic feline eye shape. However, the new curved wand will allow you to wing your lashes out towards the outer corner if you would like the illusion of an elongated eye.

The wand is actually one of my favourite parts of this mascara. Rather like the recently launched and hugely popular Benefit Roller Lash, the Volume Million Lashes Feline features short plastic bristles ready to catch onto lashes as the curved wand hugs the eye, allowing you to get close to the root and curve upwards.

My problem with this mascara, and something I’ve found with all the Volume Million line, is that they seem to be lacking in volume for me. I found the Volume Million Lashes Feline to be lengthening and eye-opening, but a bit ‘blah’ on the volume front. Which is why I no longer use this product on its own, I love to top it with my trusty L’Oreal Miss Manga for that extra oomph.

Saying that, there is another massive plus side for me with this mascara; the staying power. For a mascara that isn’t waterproof, this will stay surprising well throughout the day.

So all in all, I’m still unsure. I don’t think I’d repurchase the L’Oreal Volume Million Lashes Feline Mascara, but I’m happy to keep using it whilst I have it. What about you, have you tried the L’Oreal Volume Million Lashes Feline Mascara? If you have, let me know what you thought in the comments below.
