I took advantage of the deal. I already reviewed Shiseido Urban Environment UV Protection Cream. I also reviewed Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer that I received long time ago from an event. This Hourglass Primer has SPF 15 and the one I reviewed did not. For this post, I will review the Lancome Mascara.

Thoughts: When it comes to mascaras, I tend to try and hope for the best. Sometimes I'm blown away and sometimes I'm disappointed. I just never know until I try them out. So going into this product I did not know what to expect.
Here's a closer look at the wand.
Here's how the mascara looks on me.
Here's an overall look on me. I'm wearing Tat2U Lipstick in Cat Fight. It's a gorgeous color and I love it.
This is an old picture I found wearing the same mascara. This was taken before I changed my hair color to brown. Is it just me but I look like two different people? I never realized hair color makes such a big change on me. :/
Now for my overall opinion... First of all, it's an interesting shape wand. I never noticed until now. It has a triangle shape but what I found interesting is that the other sides are flat. There's no bristles and I'm not too sure why. Even though the shape is interesting, I found it easy to get to the lash line. With a lot of mascaras, they tend to coat my skin when I try to get close to the lash line. You don't have to worry with this mascara. Secondly, I love that it's not waterproof and it actually holds my curl. That is amazing especially with my straight Asian lashes. The best part is that it's easy to remove at the end of the day. I also love that it gives me volume and lengthens my lashes. It looks like I have pretty lashes. I end up liking this mascara a lot. Lastly, it did not clump and it lasted all day on me.
Pros:
* You can get to the lash line without coating your skin.
* Not waterproof; can easily remove at the end of the day.
* Holds my straight Asian lashes.
* Gives me volume.
* Lengthens my lashes.
* Does not clump.
* Lasts all day.
Cons:
* It can be expensive for a 3 month usage.
Would repurchase: Yes.
