*L'Oreal False Lash Wings Intenza mascara: review & look

Hello darlings! Today I'd like to talk to you about a lovely mascara I got for review purposes and also had the pleasure of using it to create a makeup look for a Facebook competition - L'Oreal False Lash Wings Intenza. It's been quite a while since I used a drugstore mascara (due to the fact that I fell in love with my Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara), so I was excited to try this one out and see how it performs.

The first thing I noticed about this mascara was the amazing packaging and the intriguing brush it came with. I am a big fan of plastic brushes, so I was immediately hopeful that this would work great for my short, sparse lashes. I'm not too picky when it comes to formula - the only thing I expect of it, is for it to not be too liquidy or too dry, so something in between (something that makes application easy and not messy). The formula of this mascara did not disappoint and I have a feeling it will get even better as it get's 'worn-in' (a tiny bit drier is what I really mean). :)

The mascara applies beautifully and gives great length to my tiny lashes (as you can hopefully see from the 'before-after' picture bellow). It's not huge on volume but it gives a decent amount of it, that's for sure. The formula along with the awesome brush, coats each and every lash perfectly without sticking them together and creating a clumpy mess. I also found it to work great with my bottom lashes as it doesn't smudge all over my lower lash line/under eye area.

It didn't bother my sensitive eyes and it managed to stay put without smudging or flaking throughout the day. I didn't find it to be too hard to remove - I think your typical eye makeup remover will do the job.

And last but not least... here's the makeup look I created using this mascara. I was feeling a pink-cranberry vibe for my eyes, so I used my Sleek Storm palette (a combination of the two pink shades) and my Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette (Cherry Cordial, Champagne Truffle - for highlighting). The foundation I used was from Vichy - Teint Ideal, I then powdered my t-zone with Urban Decay's De-Slick mattifiying powder and used a bit of Too Faced Chocolate Soleil (Milk Chocolate) bronzer. I opted for natural lips, so I applied a bit of Urban Decay's Revolution lipstick in Naked and put a tiny amount of Clarins' Natural Lip perfector (in 05) on top of it. And that's it!
