Right away I can tell you that if you found my old favorite, L'Oreal Voluminous False Fiber Lash, difficult to apply, you'll like this product a lot more. In fact, I found this to be most like a combination of the False Fiber Lash and CoverGirl's Clump Crusher, a mascara I love for the ease of application but find lacking in the drama department (Adrien and I reviewed them both here). My only complaint about applying the Shocking Extensions mascara is the wand is a little bit long and a tad floppy, I prefer a shorter, firmer brush like the Clump Crusher. But enough of that, let's look at a photo, shall we?

Well, that's a kind of horrifying picture, but anyway. It's hard to take selfies of your eyeballs. I love that you get a lot of length from this mascara, without it clumping up. It stays put well and stays nice and black with no fading throughout the day, and it removes easily with my favorite eye makeup remover. Overall I'm really pleased and it's definitely my new favorite mascara.
So, it's better than the false fibers? Because I am loving the false fibers... I don't find it too clumpy, but maybe that is because my hair is dark and I find that the effect is more volumizing than scary-clumpy. I am wondering if the shocking extensions would be a little more "long but puny" on me?
ReplyDeleteI love the false fibers, too, BUT I find that it starts to dry out and get flaky after only a couple of weeks. I still use it, but I layer it over the clump crusher to try and ward off the flakes. This mascara is not *quite* as dramatic, but you can load on like 8 layers and it's great for every day.
