I've Been Obsessed With This $13 Mascara For Months, and It's Finally Coming to America
I get a lot of questions about my lashes and the mascara I use; it tends to come with the territory when you cover beauty products. People actually start by asking if I have lash extensions, and when I explain it's just the mascara, they light up. The good news? My current favorite is from a mass brand. Then I have to gently let them down: unfortunately, the product isn't available in America.
Until now.
Meet your new mascara obsession: L'Oréal Paris Unlimited Lash Lengthening and Lifting Mascara ($13). (I wish the name meant "unlimited" in terms of expiration, because I'm nearing the end of my bottle.) I was in Paris for Fashion Week with the brand, and Unlimited was part of my welcome bag, which included this Paris-only offering. Thankfully, the brand is launching the product in America come January.
As a devoted Voluminous and Lash Paradise fan, I had high hopes for Unlimited when I first gave it a go. It delivered. Initially, I was intrigued by the bottle. It's not a typical tube; it's not square or circular. "It looks like a buoy . . . you know, in the ocean. Or an inflatable punching bag," my boyfriend said when I asked him to describe the shape. He's not wrong. (Don't tell him I said that, thanks.) If it were glass, it might look like a gorgeous bottle for a fragrance. The real point of difference, though, is the wand, which actually changes angles for more precision when you apply. You can use it straight or click it into a 45-degree angle, which is meant to help you get to the root of your lashes better.
For me, I barely change the position of the wand because I find I can get to the root easily without doing so, but this extra addition can make your mascara application a lot better. I tend not to love rubber or silicone applicators because I feel they don't make the lashes look light and fluffy. Unlimited, however, separates them, lengthens, and volumizes without weighing them down. It's a creamy formula that coats the lashes without lumping them together and with no flakes. Because what's worse than a flake, in both mascara and your social life?
