BBreview: Lancome Fatale Mascara

I am a longtime user of Diorshow Blackout, but I can't resist trying buying new things. On a recent trip to Sephora with V, she suggested I try Lancome Fatale, a longtime favourite of hers. This stayed in my drawer unopened, until I decieded to clean out my beauty products, and was met with the challenge of 7 unopened mascaras. Yep, 7. Needless to say, I opened each one and tried them out over the course of two weeks. My new favourite? Lancome Fatale.
My eyelashes are light, which requires me to use mascara every day. This means that the mascara has to be light, non-clumpy, and waterproof. I'm not going to lie to you, I don't use the same mascara every day, but I do like to keep a general idea of what my favourites are (and what has been banished to the bottom of the drawer). My lashes stay curly on their own, which is a great plus, but often lack volume and length.
Fatale did not dissapoint, although the brush does get some getting used to. What I thought was a defective product, is actually quite genius. The Fatale brush is a three sided comb, with flat surfaces in between, basically a thinned out mascara brush.
Brush oddity aside, Fatale did a great job of plumping my lashes, and they looked lush and full after only two coats. Two! I think I'm in love.
Fatale also kept up with my daily life easily, needing only one reapplication throughout the day, and staying on really well. It didn't flake, nor did it smudge.
The only drawback is the comb, and in this case, practice makes perfect.
Some tips on using Fatale
-Do not Double Dip! Not only does this increase the chances of bacteria in your mascara, but the flat sides of the brush act like reservoirs, so one dip is all you need.
-To use, place one of the combs at the base of your lash. Wiggle a bit to give extra volume, then comb through. For second coats, use another comb. Two or three coats should do the trick!
-For more seperation, comb lashes repeatedly (2 or 3 times) with only one of the combs.
Diorshow and Fatale seem to be equal in my book, although I do prefer the brush on the Fatale (after getting used to it!).
The Verdict: A luxurious, amazing mascara that builds up your lashes, adds volume, stays on, and doesn't flake off.
