This mascara provides a lot of volume at the lashline for a nice curve. According to Sephora:
"This mascara dresses lashes in intense volume, unfolding a new vision of glamour inspired by Betty Boop and top model Daria Werbowy. The formula's "black-diamond effect" imparts a glossy gel-like finish. The dual-action brush has a flat side for optimizing product deposit at the lash line while the rounded side separates, defines, and lengthens."
Application
I apply it using the thinner side of the mascara wand. The brush is kind of big for my eyes but it does taper at the tip, kind of like a Christmas tree. I apply a couple of coats, not letting them dry in between.
Likes
I got this in a Sephora order and promptly forgot about it. When I ran out of one of my favorite mascaras, I decided to give this a try. I was very hesitant about wearing this because it wasn't marked as waterproof but this has been the most waterproof mascara I've tried EVER. It doesn't smudge either and I love it! It is super easy to remove with my Neutrogena Eye Makeup Remover yet it has such a great lasting power. It also smells faintly of roses which is luxurious and slightly unnecessary but I'm happy that Lancome thought to mask the chemical smell of mascara (not that you apply mascara close to your nose but it's a nice touch). I've been using it for a couple weeks now and the mascara hasn't dried up or done anything weird. It has dried a bit because it was too wet for my tastes before but other than that, it still has a great performance!The brush helps to lengthen and volumize my short, thin and sparse lashes without clumping them together. Sometimes I get a clump of mascara on my lashes but it's very rare and it's quite easy to remove with my fingernail.
Dislikes
The only thing that I could see that might be a con is that it doesn't hold my curl very well but that's nothing that a lash curler can't fix! Sometimes, I get the faintest smudge ever but I usually don't, even when I cry and stuff (from watching You Who Came From the Stars). I do get flaking from time to time but that i easily removed with a dry cotton bud.Bottom Line
I am definitely going to be purchasing the full size! It is quite expensive at $28.50 but this is seriously the best mascara ever. It doesn't even claim to be waterproof but I really think it is! I like that with one coat, I get a more natural lash (just lengthened) look but if I build it up, I can get a really long and voluminous look. I am super tempted to buy it right now because Sephora is having their VIB/BI Sale right now until April 10 for Beauty Insiders and April 11 for VIB and VIB Rouge. There is also a waterproof version and I can't even imagine how that will perform since the regular version is amazing. I wish I had found this earlier as the limited edition packaging for this mascara is so cute and 50₵ cheaper but it's okay.MWAH Musings ♥
- Had my midterm today...feel good about it but we'll see how I do when the grades get posted >.<
- Went to the gym right after...was on the elliptical for 35 minutes...felt like dying #SoOutOfShape
- Had a Rustica for dinner, which is penne pasta with Italian sausage, red and green bell peppers, zucchini, and artichoke with pesto sauce. Was so delicious! Great way to end a Friday :)
So that concludes another post from me! Are you all going to grab anything from the Sephora Sale? I'm so tempted to go and stock up for Summer. T_T
XOXO,
MWAH ♥
