I have tested this mascara and pictures will follow.  I have to say that this does extend the lashes.  But it does not give thickness.  I love Maybelline Lash Blast.  It makes the lashes look fuller and thicker.  I am going to use the nourshing base coat from L'oreal and use the Mayballine Lash  blast instead of the mascara that is included and see what the results give me.  I have noticed that you do need to let the mascara dry.  After doing the two steps I closed my eyes tieght and noticed that the double extend took some time to dry.  The lashes clumped together.  Now no one usually does this after appying regular masacara.  We all know it needs a little time to dry no matter what you buy.  Some times patience is a vertue.  If you want longer lashes I do recommend L'oreal Double Extend.  But I do dont recommend the mascara that is doubled with it.  As I said I will have pictures soon.
