It Cosmetics Hello Lashes Extensions Review

Hello Lashes Extensions ($24, Ulta) is It Cosmetics' newest mascara. They took their original, award winning 5-in-1 Hello Lashes and added another amazing ingredient...melted fibers infused right into the formula that give you the results of a 2-step fiber mascara in only one step. Let's take a look...

First, the packaging is seriously sleek...I love the silvery tube and how the cap fits flush with the bottom half, making it one continuous line. It has a high end feel and looks totally different than the black tube the original formula is in.

The brush looks very similar, if not the same as the original with the ball tip...perfect for separating your lashes and preventing clumps. It's like a built-in lash comb!

This formula has all of the benefits of Hello Lashes...it adds volume, acts as a lash primer, contains peptide lash growth serum, tints your lashes, and has a built-in eyelash comb/curler. But it also contains melted fibers right inside the formula! When I heard that, I had to try this because I'm not a fan of those 2-step fiber mascaras. They give great results, but they make a mess (remember my Physicians Formula review a while back?). I wear contacts so all those stray fibers get trapped underneath them and cause major issues.
With Hello Lashes Extensions, the fibers are melted into the formula so you get the same effect without the extra step or mess.


I've been using this for a few weeks now and I'm so impressed by this formula! Check out my before and afters:

Before Hello Lashes Extensions

After Hello Lashes Extensions

Hello Lashes Extensions gave my lashes lots of extra volume and length with clump-free, fanned out separation thanks to the ball-tipped brush. I just placed the wand horizontally against the base of my lashes and wiggled it back and forth as I combed it through. Then I held it vertically and used the tip to comb through and separate my lashes, as well as add a little more length. It gives me a more wide-eyed look and my lashes even look curled (fyi, I didn't use a lash curler!).
If I had to complain about anything with this mascara, I would say that it does smudge a little under my eyes.  I'm not sure if this would happen to everyone, but I noticed a little bit of smudging after about 5 hours of wear.  It wasn't a lot by any means, and honestly, I'm used to my mascaras smudging because I tend to stay away from long-wearing formulas due to the fact that they make my lashes hard and crunchy and they're difficult to remove. Hello Lashes Extensions kept my lashes soft and came off easily with my Philosophy Purity cleanser, so I'll deal with a little bit of smudging in exchange for that!

Overall, I'm really happy with the results I was able to achieve with Hello Lashes Extensions. I've only tried a few products from It Cosmetics so far, but it's been my experience that their products live up to their claims and really do what they say they will. I highly recommend checking them out next time they're on QVC (you can see the schedule on their website)...you can really learn a lot about the brand and their products through the demos (Yeah, I'm a bit of a makeup nerd, not to mention I'm kind of a QVC addict these days!).
You can purchase Hello Lashes Extensions on Ulta.com, Ulta stores, and QVC.
