Review: L'oreal's Voluminous Butterfly

L'oreal's Voluminous Butterfly in Blackest Black (waterproof)



THE GOOD
- Holds a Curl =D! This mascara holds a curl beautifully.  I would even say that my lashes did not droop at all!
- Length. I definitely get a lengthening effect from this mascara.  My husband has complimented my lashes for being fluttery and he would certainly call it a butterfly effect.
- The Wand. I love the wand for my right eye.  It's very easy to comb through my lashes and the small tip grabs the hard to reach hairs in the corners my eye.  It is much harder to flip the brush and coat my left eyelashes.  I'm afraid I'm just not that talented. I find that the tapered end does not make much of a difference so I suppose it doesn't really matter =P

On a little side not here, I have tried the newer Butterfly Intenza mascara because I liked this one so much, but the wand was an utter disappointment.

THE BAD
- Packaging. In my opinion, the metallic packaging is a little tacky and boring.  The print on the tube flakes easily (like the latex on a scratch card) so the tube gains an aged look quite quickly.

THE FENCE
- The Formula. I find that the formula is quite dry right out of the tube.  It can get spidery very quickly which I'm not a fan of.  Usually if you comb through with quick straight up motions, I find that it's not too bad.  It's like nail polish; you want to work quickly so that the nail polish doesn't get dry and gloppy creating ugly streaks.

I have yet to find a formula (waterproof or otherwise) that doesn't leave little dark smudges under my eyes.

OVERALL RATING: 4.8/5
This might be the one <3
