    This product works like magic! I have very sensitive and small eyes and this product is easy to apply. The best part is... it is waterproof, BUT when you rinse it with a lot of warm water it just washes off the mascara. It comes off in little black lines, it does not dissolve on to your eye lids or the area under your eyes. You never need to use any eye make up remover. As well, this product covers 360 degrees of the strand of lash. I highly recommend it!

    I love the removal of this !!! I bought this a couple days ago but am used to the removal from using Kiss me mascara and Clinique Lash Power. I think that my favorite L'Oreal Volumious is alot better because this mascara can not keep curl.
    I HATE removing my Waterproof Voluminous, and I will keep these both around. If the Voluminous was the tube technology I would have my HG.

    THis is one of the best mascaras I have tried and I do recommend.

    i've been waiting on reviewing this mascara untill i had tried it several times and was able to write an honest review on its performance. Normally im a loreal voluminous user but when Loreal came out with the double extend i just knew i had to try it out.

    This is the first lengthening mascara i have ever bought because i am more concerned about having dramatic bold lashes (which Voluminous mascara is pretty good for).

    my lashes are pretty decent in length but they are pretty straight and dont have much curt.

    Pros:
    -Lengthens lashes very well, and i found that i really liked the way it looked

    -Ease of removal: i like to take a shower and just wet my lashes, and then near the end of my shower i just basically touch my lashes and the mascara comes right off. i love how there is no mess and no makeup remover

    -No flaking, and i have even on occasion slept with the mascara on and in the morning it pretty much looks the same as it did the night before. so its great for late nights followed by early mornings.

    - as for volumizing, i found a trick: put the white base coat on your lashes really well, so that your lashes basically look white. then do the other eye with the base coat (so that your first set of lashes have time to dry with the base coat) and then go back and put on the second coat to lock in the color. Doing this gave some volume and made my eyelashes look very nice. it wasn't extremely bold lashes but the length and intensity of the mascara made a great combonation.

    -CON: to get a look that has a bit of volume i find it takes waaayy to much time. it litteraly takes me almost 10 mins to apply (b./c i try to coat each lash really well with the base coat and let it dry slightly).

    also, my little volume trick didnt work each time, and im not sure if its because my mascara is drying out now but lately i have been getting the spider eye effect, which i didnt experiance in the beginning.

    OVERALL:
    this is a mascara i will definatley keep on hand because there are nights where i work late and have to wake up early and this mascara really holds up well. also the ease of removal is just too hard to pass up. Looks like i will have 2 mascara staples now.. loreal voluminous and this one.

    I have been using this mascara quite a bit during the holidays, waiting to give my feedback because - to be honest - I was still on the fence about it.

    Pros:
    * compared to bare lashes, I would certainly say that my eyelashes looked close to double in length. No other mascara I have tried thus far is as lengthening as Double Extend, not even close.
    * my lashes are wonderfully soft and the mascara washes off very easily (best is to splash your face several times with warm water before washing or take it off in the shower). I never need to follow up with eye makeup remover.
    * there is no obvious smell to the product and it's reasonably easy to apply.

    Cons:
    * I don't mind to put my mascara on in two steps, but the dark coat clumps easily.
    * it's not very volumizing, so my lashes look long but a little sparse. The clumping makes it even more obvious.

    Overall I definitely recommend this product. It's not my top choice but I will probably keep a tube on hand for special occasions.

    I received this mascara at the launch of L'Oreal Fashion Week because this was their official mascara.

    If you are looking for really dramatic lashes, this will do the trick. It makes your lashes feel moisturized and protected because it wraps them in tubes (similar idea to kissme mascara). It is a two step process with the white base followed by the black coat. The basecoat is what makes lashes feel moisturized. I felt like I was putting lotion on my eyelashes and they really did feel nourished. You have to be careful with the topcoat that you get all the white covered or it looks odd.

    I have medium full lashes to begin with. I found this mascara to be quite dramatic, like almost false eyelashes dramatic. It didn't flake, didn't irritate my eyes and I just really liked the look of it.

    What I did not enjoy was the washing it off part. It is supposed to come off easily with warm water, but it took quite a while and I had to use soap. With just water I had black around my eyes. In general, it took quite a bit longer than normal to wash all the mascara off. Because of that I would only wear this for special occasions. I don't like to spend 5 minutes removing my mascara alone. I'm too impatient.

    When it comes off you will think it is taking your eyelashes with it, but don't worry it isn't. Those are just the 'tubes' sliding off. I took this off once in the bathtub and it left black blobbies all over the place so I recommend doing this only over the sink.

    Overall I would definitely wear this for a night out when I really want to add some drama, but for a regular day mascara would choose something easier to remove.

    I believe it retails for approx $14
