I used Lancome mascara for a long time till I tried makeup products at a Chanel counter, I am hooked on the mascara now. I use this mascara every single day and it has lasted me a long time. It goes on smoothly and elongates my lashes. It does not have an impact similar to what TV ads about mascara show, where the lashes are lengthened to crazy levels, this one adds slight volume and does not cause lumpy lashes. My previous Lancome one caused some lumps and my lashes stuck together sometimes, not this one. My eyes don't take makeup well, I always feel like there is some heaviness due to eyeliner and mascara, this one does the same but it has more to do with my eyes. I love Chanel makeup and will continue using this one for a long time to come.
