Rated 5 out of 5 by greeneyesgal Awesome!
This booster is the best ever. I have used it several years.
I have tried others and they did not stand up to Lancome Booster. The mascara adhears to the booster and gives you the fuller/longer lashes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by casawife Great for skimpy lashes!
After using a sample of Cils Booster XL a few years ago, I've been hooked. I'm blonde and have not been blessed with thick/long lashes, Before I started using Cils Booster XL, I had to fuss with an eyelash curler and layers of mascara.
Now, after applying my foundation, I swipe on Cils Booster XL and continue applying the rest of my makeup while it dries. My last step is a quick coupla coats of Definicils Mascara and it's perfect every time! LOVE!

Rated 5 out of 5 by makeupgirl A must have!
I loooove this mascara base! It is perfect because it adds length to my lashes and makes them thicker. I use the Lancome mascara over the base, but it works with any other mascara as well. I have been using cils booster xl for about two years now and I can't get enough of how big of a difference it's made when compared to before I used it! My eyelashes are already long, but with this base it really helps them look longer and way thicker as soon as I apply mascara over it. By the way, I've received comments from people who say they wish their eyelashes were as long as like mine. That makes my day!
Besides adding length and thickness to my lashes, it also nourishes them. It doesn't have any harsh ingredients, and it's easy to wash off- I simply use soap and warm water. Well worth a purchase for those of you looking to achieve long, thick, healthy, and natural looking eyelashes! Thanks Lancome! It is here to stay in my make-up tote for a long time. Give it a try!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Equestrianlady4 A Fan of Definicils for Many Years!
I have been a big fan of Definicils mascara for many years. More than I can remember! I would not be without it for anything. That being said, when the Cils Booster XL, primer for mascara, came out I could literally not believe my eyes! The primer makes the mascara go on quickly, evenly and without any fuss at all. It also extends the life of my Definicils to almost twice as long as previously because you don't have to use as much. With the primer in place the slightest touch of Definicils goes a long way. Hooray for Lancome and the best products on the make up market. They are worth every penny!

Answer:
If you just want to give Cils Booster a trial by all means get the small, sample size. I got acquainted with it through one of the free gifts. It lasts an unbelievably long time. In fact, I got mine at Christmas, use it almost every day and it is still doing a fine job in the middle of March! However, the full size Cils Booster is reasonably priced and it will last a very long time AND make your mascara last much longer as well. Because it does last so long be sure to use it only with very clean hands, on a freshly cleansed face. Do not loan your eye make up (or any other) to anyone else to avoid contamination.

The Cils Booster XL is full size - the same size as the full-size mascaras. I use it everyday before I apply my mascara because it amps up my lashes drastically, I find that I use less mascara when I apply this first. Just make sure you wait a few minutes for it to dry before applying your mascara.Gender: Female

Answer:
The Cils Booster will definitely make you lashes appear longer and fuller. However, the booster alone will also make your lashes appear a slightly lighter color. I use just a touch of Definicils mascara to make the most out of the Cils Booster. In a split second touch up your lashes will be long, dark and lovely. It takes far less mascara to get the result you want when you use the booster.Gender: Female

Nope - sometimes I use Lancome, sometimes not. Its a great product and it works with any mascara. I think the key is to make sure you apply a thin coat first and shape your lashes at this point - allow to dry almost completely before applying mascara.Gender: Female

Cils Booster is an excellent conditioner. You certainly can use it without mascara, no harm done! But, you will find it does leave the lashes looking slightly lighter in color. The slightest touch of Definicils mascara (or your favorite mascara) will instantly darken and enhance the Cils Booster and make your eyes look amazing any time!Gender: Female

This is a great primer but it does leave a white residue. It is meant to be worn under mascara. What is really nice though is that you use way less mascara and it really helps keep your lashes from drying out from harsh mascaras.Gender: Female

Answers
Answer:
After cleansing the face, applying moisturizer and make up base and eye shadow if you use it, apply the Cils Booster just as you would regular mascara. The eye lashes may look a bit white in color but this is a good thing. It only helps you see where you have applied and where you might have missed. Let it dry for a few seconds and then apply your mascara over the top. I use Definicils and love it so much I have not tried the others! The mascara will glide on smoothly and cover every eyelash from base to tip. They will look longer, fuller and more even. There is no clumping! When you take your make up off or in the morning after you forgot to take your make up off, you will find your lashes healthier, longer, fuller and more ready for a new application. This is a super product!Gender: Female

Answer:
I love this product. It is a lash primer, so I apply a thin coat to my lashes first and use this product to shape my lashes at this point. The texture of the Cils Booster can be a little wet/thin at first but after a little bit of time it begins to dry out just a tiny bit and the texture is 100% better. I allow the Booster to dry almost completely and then apply any choice of mascara over it. This stuff really adds length and volume to your lashes and it is a great primer to keep lashes from drying out!Gender: Female

Answer:
Cils Booster XL is a fabulous product that goes on before your mascara to really amplify the volume and length of your lashes! It also conditions your lashes.Apply Cils Booster XL like you would a mascara, starting at the base of your lashes and woking your way up and out. Apply to one eye then add mascara and repeat on the other eye as you don't want the booster to dry before mascara is applied.
Top off your booster with one of many Lancome famous mascaras.
