Highly Rated Lash Extensions XL Volumizing Tubing Mascara
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Milani Highly Rated Lash Extensions XL Volumizing Tubing Mascara is a tubing formula that locks in other mascaras as a topper and provides good volume without clumping or smudging. However, the brush is short and chunky, depositing product at the base and making lashes look short and stumpy, requiring many coats for length. It is also very wet and messy when new, and at $14.99, one creator finds it not exceptional enough to repurchase.

MIXED / NEGATIVE
- “I hate the brush on this. I can tell you that right away”4:08–4:14
