Let me introduce you to my very new and most definitely favorite lover, the Charlotte Tilbury Full Fat Lashes mascara. Now, before I even get into it, let me be clear about one thing; I've had a love/hate (mostly hate really) relationship with any sort of high-end mascaras for as long as I can remember. I've tried Helena Rubinstein, YSL, Chanel, you name it - and I ended up regretting the splurge pretty much every time, so much that when I discovered the wonderful, wonderful world of the Covergirl Lash blast and the Maybelline the Falsies, I swore I wouldn't ever dare to cross the drugstore line again. Or so I thought
What happened then ? I went into Selfridges - and if you've ever been there, you know it ain't no good. I was in the mood to try out some Charlotte Tilbury products, I had my eyes on her palettes for the longest time so when one of their lovely make-up artist offered me a make-over, I was more than happy to jump on the chair. The whole make-up look was lovely - truth is, she made a good job at making me buy too many things - but what shocked me was the mascara's results. Oh.My.God. My lashes never ever looked so good. Longer, infinitely thicker, they took the whole look to another level, so much that I broke my vow and bought it.
I can honestly say it is the best mascara I've tried so far. It looked good in Selfridges, in the hands of an expert, sure, but it worked its magic again back home. And again the next day. And again. No matter how much you work it in your lashes' roots, it never gets crunchy, the lashes remain nice and flexible and that's a big deal for me. The brush isn't too big or too small, very fluffy and easy to use, just how I like 'em. You can get it at Selfridges for 22£, which isn't cheap, but totally worth it in my opinion. I don't use the term holy grail very often, be sure of that, but this baby has definitely become one.
