The Perfect Mascara... Could this be the one?

Hello lovelies,

I hope you are all doing good. So as the title suggests, this post is about the long and winding road of finding the perfect mascara. I'm going to be really honest and say that every hyped up mascara has been a bit of a let down for me. My latest run in was with Benefit's They're Real! Such a let down. My lashes actually started falling out, and I still have a gap in my left eyelashes that you could kick a field goal through! I'm not saying it's the worst mascara I have ever tried but it just didn't live up to the hype for me.

So, after months and years of searching, I've found it. I've met what I think could be 'The One'. And like they always say, it happened when I wasn't looking. It was literally dropped into my lap. My partner bought me a bottle of Chanel No. 5 for our anniversary this year and the very nice lady at the Chanel counter gave him some samples for me. One of which was the Inimitable Intense mascara. I immediately fell in love. It did everything it promised and more...


It's a beauty. I bought the full size when I had exhausted the sample and it's worth every penny!
What it Promises: Volume, Length, Curl and Separation.

This mascara lengthens like a dream, curls the lashes beautifully, thickens perfectly and separates the lashes too. There are no clumps, none of that spindly lash effect or little fallout flakes. It's just amazing. I really feel like this is the one.


The wand on the mascara is lovely. The mascara itself isn't wet but it isn't dry either, it strikes a happy balance and dries in no time at all. I get all day wear from this mascara. I really can't say enough good things about this product. I feel like I could sweep the floor with my lashes when wearing this, I don't feel like any other mascara will trump the Inimitable Intense.




So that's it for now ladies!
Let me know what your favourite mascara's are, give me your recommendations!
Tell me your mascara disasters!

Until next time...

    1. There's just something about Chanel, everything I've tried has just been so much better than I expected. I was never a big lipgloss fan for example, and theirs is perfect, it's not sticky, it wears great and they're pigmented. This mascara is amazing. Sorry about you bank balance but your lashes will thank me :P xx

  5. Looks pretty. :) I've still not used anything by Chanel. Half the time I give up on mascara and get my lashes tinted black, and I just curl them.

    1. I was the same, but this one is unbelieveable, try asking for a sample to try it out next time you're near a counter :) If you like curling your lashes their eyelash curlers are great ;) xxxx
