Mascara will always be my #1, can’t live without, desert-island pick, in my bag at all times necessity. With a swipe of mascara on the eyes, I instantly look more awake and my eyes are open. My lashes look longer, darker, thicker and actually have a shape to them. I am always anxious to try the latest mascaras that debut, whether it be a more expensive luxury brand, or a drug store special.

This month, I have treated myself to Chanel’s latest mascara (Merry Christmas to me!) and I have never been more excited about a mascara before. It’s called Le Volume de Chanel, and doesn’t disappoint! The mascara comes in one shade only, Nior, and appears jet, carbon black on the lashes. The product is said to lengthen, thicken, separate and coat each lash with a perfect black pigment.

Chanel claims the brush design to be called a Snowflake brush, “combined with both long and short bristles to deliver an extreme, eye opening effect.” With just one stroke, my eyelashes were blacker, thicker, and instantly plumped up! No clumping, no smudging, no flaking.. and my lashes stayed perfect for hours. I received so many compliments the first time I wore it, and I can’t wait tell everyone my secret!

So thank you, Chanel, for my latest obsession. Now my go-to mascara,  I hope I’ve inspired you to make the purchase so you can have sky-high full black lashes like me!
