I'm about to go relax and enjoy the rest of my day off but figured I would post this review right quick before I jump to it. Today, mascara. I want to try all the Lancome mascara's and since we are still masking up and have been for the last year and some change, I haven't been wearing much foundation, lipstick, or blush. Just eyeshadow and mascara. So it's been worth splurging on since I can't justify much else.
Lancome claims:

The retail price on it is $28. I bought it for $23, which is a nice little discount.
First thing I noticed about it is the rose scent. Lancôme's scent of choice for most things tends to be rose. I guess it's nice. But not something that's necessarily. I don't really need fragranced eyelashes. It's just there. If you love rose scented things you might appreciate it. For me, it doesn't really make a difference.
The next thing I noticed and was pretty happy about was the brush. I prefer the old school brushes over the plastic bristled kind. I just think they do a better job of building length and volume quickly. This is no exception. I also love that the brush is tapered. I think it's an excellent brush and doesn't make too big of a mess either (if I were more careful).
As for performance, it does build length and volume quickly. I'm not sure why it's called doll lashes. I just googled porcelain doll lashes (I assume that's what they mean), and I'm not really getting the reference. I think it's supposed to build a fan of lashes, also not sure I notice that either. It really lengthens them out and they look thicker but thinner at the end if that makes sense.
It's a different effect for sure but not something ultra noticeable unless you are paying attention.
It holds a curl, it has a nice dark color, and lasts all day without smudging. I find it a little harder to wash off though. It will probably be easier if you use proper makeup remover. I just wash with soap and notice if I'm not really rubbing it out, I will have leftover product in my lashes.
Overall, I do like it. It's a good quality mascara, probably not worth the price tag. And not one I love enough to repurchase.
