3 coats on.

Price: $28.50
Where to buy: Neiman Marcus, Saks, Nordstrom, Sephora

A double innovation for a double lengthening effect: immediate and long-lasting. This performance is due to the association of a new generation brush with an exclusive complex – the LASH GROWTH BOOSTER – which favours lash growth.

After seeing Jen’s review on the YSL everlong mascara, I just had to have it. The price tag was the heaviest I’ve ever spent on a mascara. The mascara supposedly has a lash booster in the mascara as well, so you are essentially getting two products in one.

This is probably the most lush looking mascara tube I’ve owned. With the YSL mascaras, waterproof formulas are in matte gold packaging while the regular mascaras are glossy gold.

I very much wanted to love this mascara, but sadly, I didn’t. The brush is extremely big and a lot harder to use when compared to the Diorshow brush. Mascara being caught on my skin was inevitable. There was also some clumping going on, and you would think that with a brush with so many teeth, it wouldn’t happen. With one coat, my lashes looked extremely thin and fragile. I had never seen my lashes look like that ever before. The lashes looked great after three time consuming coats. I actually think my lashes have never looked better! Unfortunately, after all the time invested, the curl of my lashes were long gone by the end of the day. It’s a shame because I think the whole idea with a lash booster infused in the mascara is a great idea. If only MAX factor would do that with their mascaras…

On a positive note, this is probably the most easiest waterproof mascara to remove that I’ve tried so far.

    This is the best my lashes have looked, but it took way too much time to achieve, and also the results didn’t last.

    liz, so i am guessing that photo was taken soon after application because it looks like it’s holding ur curl pretty well!

    Yes, it drooped by the end of the day.

    Yeah, gotta say I think Max Factor makes the best stuff that lasts all day. Lash booster + MF in a formula that holds curl all day would be holy grail material.

    I like how your eyelashes look! but if you don’t like it that much then you are not gonna feel comfortable wearing it. I guess you did had high expectations because of the price and reviews… don’t worry eventually you’ll find the perfect mascara for that works for YOU,( not all eyelashes are the same :D)

    Hi Liz! Thank you for the review. I was planning on trying this mascara soon as well because of Jen’s review…I will have to see how it works on my lashes. I was wondering though, what is your holy grail mascara? (I’m sorry I haven’t been following your blog/YT videos long enough to know.) Thanks in advance!!

    I think my HG is still the Shiseido Lasting Lift mascara. I’ve been trying some drugstore mascaras to see if I can find a cheaper alternative. I’ve found some pretty decent ones from MAX Factor, but I still think the Shiseido is the best so far.
