Superior Strength & Volume Lash Primer promises to make your lashes 3x stronger and more voluminous after 30 days, but its main task is still to add some extra volume, length and more curl in combination with a regular mascara. This is my first "individual" primer (not counting those 2-in-1 mascaras), so I have nothing to compare it to, but for a first try, it's not half bad.
It's completely white on the lashes and applies nicely with no clumps. It doesn't make the mascara application any more difficult unless the mascara you're using is already quite dry. A couple of coats of mascara on top covers the white tint with no problems. The promise I was most hoping to be true was that it adds more curl to the lashes, but it neither lifts the lashes on its own, neither does it hold the curl in place. In fact it acts like any regular formula mascara and not a waterproof versions like I wanted. In terms of adding length I also don't find it makes a difference, but when it comes to volume, it does a pretty good job, however, I've only noticed a difference when I did the before/after pictures, so it's definitely not as dramatic a difference as some might want.
Just primer.

In terms of making your lashes stronger, more voluminous in time I can't say I've seen an improvement, but I haven't committed to using this daily because it's an extra step in my routine that I don't find that necessary.
Price and availability: Primer costs 13.95 €. LOV is sold by Ličila.si, but sadly not this primer. L.O.V. it's sold in drugstores in some countries, but it's available worldwide through kosmetik4less.de.
For some added volume this does the job, but I resent that it doesn't do anything about holding a curl. The promise of long-term results sound intriguing, yet I haven't noticed anything and I have my doubts it'll make a big difference. It's only my first primer, so I really couldn't say how other are performing compared to this, but I wished for more length too, not just volume and the difference could be more dramatic.
Have a great day!
