Be a Lash Vixen with Lancôme’s Newest Femme Fatale

Applying mascara can be tricky. You want long, thick, gorgeous lashes that will make men swoon with one flutter, but at the same time you face the perils of clumping and flaking and the oh so embarrassing potential to end up with…well, ‘raccoon eyes’. Do you go with a lash curler? A lash base? And when it comes to brushes, I’ve got a real Goldilocks complex; they’re either too thin or too massive, but never “just right.”

Or so I thought, until I discovered Lancôme’s Fatale Exceptional Volume 3D Comb-Mascara. Honestly, this newest innovation from the experts at the French cosmetics house must have come from straight from the beauty gods. Or goddesses; who else would understand the absolute NEED for stunning lashes?

The smart design of this super volumizing mascara uses Filtex, a silicone based formula which wraps lashes to hold their shape for a whopping 12 hours. A sure-fire summer hit, Fatale is both smudge and flake resistant for those hazy, hot, and humid days ahead of us. Bye-bye raccoon eyes!

But my favorite part has to be the ultra sleek design of the 3D comb that coats and sculpts lashes with one smooth swipe while separating them. You know how you use a comb in your hair to keep from getting tangles? Well, a comb for your lashes aides in preventing that much dreaded clumping; same concept. And, these ingenious little reservoirs between each tooth of the comb hold just the right amount of product so that the effect is even and clump-free.

For truly full but natural looking lashes, place the teeth of the comb at the lash base and comb through in one upward motion. To add va-va-va-voom volume or go La Dolce Vita on your lashes, simply use alternate combs on the wand and don a second coat.

Fatale Exceptional Volume 3D Comb-Mascara retails for $22 and is available at www.lancome-usa.com.
