How about that! L'Oreal ad banned in Britain for being dishonest.
I've wondered when they would stop showing mascara ads where the model, for sure, for sure, for sure, is wearing false lashes. Honestly! They expect us to believe it?! OTOH, I know what mascara can do -- I don't need the ad pumped up with false lashes. I wouldn't mind seeing with and without the mascara though. Some mascaras are thicker than others; some have tiny fibers to extend the lashes, etc. Everyone who wears mascara has their favorite 2 or 3 (or 5.) Different ones for different occasions or different feelings for the day -- or different activities for the day.
Take a peek at this:

What do you think?
I know many products do deliver. They also have the disclaimer, "Not all results are typical" or some such. But some products are more hype than not. Of course, they would make the biggest difference on someone who has not taken care of their skin.
And they make the biggest difference if they are designed for your skin in mind. For me, nothing for oily skin. For someone with oily skin, nothing for dry skin. And after a while some products for mature skin are better than not for skin that looks like it needs a boost.
Cudos for Britain to have the chutzpah to actually do something about false advertising! It's about time!
