Thoughts: When I first received this sample as a birthday gift, I was kind of disappointed. The last several years ULTA gave out full-size products. Then I saw on Instagram it's a new product. The beauty blogger in me was excited to review the product on my blog. We are always trying to review new products but it can get costly. For that reason, I'm so thankful to receive a sample size.
Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's no noticeable scent while applying. I just sniffed the product and there's a slight scent. It smells like mascara if that makes sense. Secondly, I cannot say much about the packaging since I don't own the full-size. I can only speak of the sample I got. The packaging of the sample is no where close to the full-size. For that reason, I am not mentioning anything about the packaging. With that said, I will only mention the wand. I'm guessing the wand should be the same. The wand is the perfect width. It's not too big that it touches my skin. Since I have straight Asian lashes, I need to curl them before I apply mascara. Since my lashes are so curled, I need to be careful how I apply the mascara. If it's too big, the mascara gets all over my lids and it's not a pretty sight. I didn't have to worry with this mascara. It didn't touch my lid skin whatsoever. It's also not too thin that I have to do multiple strokes. Several strokes and it coats all my lashes. I even can get close to the roots. Not only that, it coats my short lashes on the bottom. The sample is great for traveling. Since it's so small, it's easy to throw in my pocket, purse, and bag. I'm sure the full-size is travel-friendly as well. Third, the consistency is on the creamy side. Usually it's wetter on the first try than the rest. I believe it was but not to the point that it stood out in my head. With that said, it went on smoothly and there were no clumps. If you apply more than two coats, it gets clumpier but that's with any mascaras. You're just laying on top of another layer. The end results was amazing! It thickened my thin lashes and gave me longer lashes. While applying, I saw the fibers attach to the end of the lashes and grow. It isn't like Asian fiber lashes like Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl Mascara where I can see the fibers on the mascara wand and just adhere to my lashes. I cannot see any fibers on the Lancome wand, as well as, adhere to my lashes but I saw it grow in front of my naked eyes. I love the volume it gave me. It's not comparable to false lashes but it's pretty decent for my Asian lashes. Best of it, my curl lashes did not fall at all. When I curl and apply mascara, the lashes fall slightly. It did not with this mascara. Lastly, it lasted all day on me. I did not see any smudging, flakes, and the curl did not fall whatsoever. With that said, it did take some more effort to remove than most mascaras. When I remove with eye makeup remover, it came off but the next morning I look like a raccoon. I had to remove the next morning as well. If this is the result of this mascara, removing twice was not a big deal for me. I love the result of the mascara and I do not get this often!
