Review:  First of all, the brush head.  I love the cone concept as the large back of the brush would be great for volumising the lashes & the front smaller end would be great for getting into the inner corner of the lashes.  However, I found this mascara wand too big which made the larger end of the wand difficult to use without getting mascara all over the place, so I ended up using the smaller end of the wand to coat my main lashes.  Needless to say, the smaller end of the wand was too big to coat my inner lashes, which sort of defeated the whole concept of the mascara wand.  Though the bristles themselves were good, coating & separating my lashes wells without clumps.

I have to say I was disappointed with the volumising effect.  It did make my lashes look thicker but not as thick as I was expecting considering the description given by lancome.  Though I will concede that this may be due to not being able to use the wand to its full potential.

This mascara that I bought is also the none waterproof version, though I know they now have a waterproof version out, which may make my next point moot.  This mascara smudged everywhere, and when I say everywhere, I had more on the corner of my eyes & below my lower lashes within an hour or two after application than I had on my lashes themselves.  Like I said, I know this is not the waterproof one, but still, some still should stay on the lashes right?  RIGHT?  Instead, it melted and moved down my eyes which made me look like I'd been crying mess!  & no, I was not wearing this in summer, it was in the middle of a freezing winter!

This mascara also took a long time to dry after application so you'll need to be careful and wait for it to dry before doing anything else.  It also did absolutely nothing to help keep my lashes curled....at all.  The scent is also really really bad, it has a strong chemical scent that lingers way too long, and I ended having to hold my breath while applying the mascara.

So all in all, my experience with this particular mascara is pretty bad.  Granted, there has been great reviews out there about this mascara, but it just definitely not for me.  I'd only used it a handful of times to give it as many chances as I could, but in the end, was such a waste as I just couldn't use it.
