Advantages: It's a high-end mascara, and it does enhance lashes

Disadvantages: There are more effective mascaras in the Lancome rangeq

Lancome are a self proclaimed 'renowned mascara brand' but there are better investments than Definicils if you are considering buying. I have dark lashes of reasonable length, and mascara is one of the products I am always buying. I have to say, I agree with Lancome as to their claim, but not in relation to this product.

The wand is does not enhance curl, or deliver quite enough mascara if you are looking for volume. It's probably effective enough as an everyday product, but if you are looking for thicker, curvier looking lashes try one of the following:

Hypnose: This might take a couple of strokes to impart the desired level of volume, but it's worth it, as it stays reasonably soft, whilst also providing high definition and thicker looking lashes. It will disintegrate throughout the day, so maybe not for someone with easily-irritated eyes. It can be removed with a bit of effort, with either an eye make-up remover, or a suitable facial wash.

L'Extreme: This is my favourite for a real impact - and works really well with the Cils Booster. It curls, lengthens and thickens so ticks most boxes...BUT...it is hard to get off and you'll probably irritate your eyes in the process (plus add to your laughter lines with all that scrubbing!)

Flextencils: I loved this but they blooming discontinued it - all of the benefits of L'Extreme but without the difficulty in getting it off!

Also worth bearing in mind that Lancome and L'Oreal are owned by the same company (as is Maybelline) so it might be worth checking out their products as there may be some of the same product knowledge at a lower price. Or try Estee Lauder's Magnascopic as this is also pretty effective.

Summary: In search of the perfect mascara? Keep searching.
