Lancome Definicils

Advantages: smart packaging, nice colour, no clumpage.
Disadvantages: price.

Mascara was created in 1913 by a chemist called T.L. Williams. As the story goes, his sister’s boyfriend, Chet, was in love with another woman and Williams made the concoction of Vaseline and coal dust to win him back. This was the first mascara (although I have read somewhere that it was worn as an evil-eye antidote by the Ancient Egyptians!) Later in 1915, Williams founded the company Maybelline (a combination of his sister’s name ‘Mabel’ ...
...best and Lancôme Definicils is proof of this. Available in green, khaki, brown, blue, grey and black, it claims to “lengthen and separate your eyelashes beautifully while smoothing and repairing their full length” (www.Lancôme.com). It certainly does. The wand’s bristles are made from Rilsan which is the only engineering thermoplastic produced from a renewable resource. It is, I believe, the same material with which nearly every ... Read review

Advantages: no smudging or clotting, well defined eyed
Disadvantages: the price

...£2-£4 brands. Discovering Definicils by Lancome mascara made a great difference to my make up routine. It separates, lengthens and curls eyelashes without clotting. It has great staying power and does not smudge. No continual licking my fingers and rubbing under my eyes to remove huge black smudges. I was so impressed that I even bought the product myself, unheard of in the past that I would spend such an amount on one make up item. It is an invaluable ...
...day. I will never buy another mascara except Definicils unless Lancome introduce an even better product - which would be hard to beat. Expensive goods are not always the better products, but in this case it most certainly is. If only my lipstick had the same staying power..... ... Read review

Advantages: Builds beautiful thickness and length
Disadvantages: Expensive and gloppy; requires brushing out while still damp

OK, for those among us who still harbor the conviction that life is fair, here are a few facts to bring you back down to reality. 1. The lottery is usually won by people who don't really need the money. 2. The parking place is always on the other side of the street. 3. The boys get the eyelashes. I'm not going to even attempt to discuss items 1 or 2 above, since they are self-evident to even the most obtuse. It's #3 that attracts our attention here. ...
...have those long, thick eyelashes, at the one time of their lives when they don't need them. But something happens to the ocular adornments of the fairer sex as they approach adulthood: Somehow, their eyelashes seem to get shorter and sparser. The boys, meanwhile, retain the thick fringes of childhood. Charlie H., with whom I went to high school, is a case in point. He had a perfectly shaped head, with thick curly brown hair, a beautiful profile, ... Read review

Advantages: Available in black, brown and blue. Lengthens lashes by great lengths!
Disadvantages: expensive

After trying to accomplish the perfect skin, eyelashes and lips for years. I honestly think I have succeeded on the eyelashes part. I have around 10 mascaras sat in my drawer that I have bought recentely that just don't do what they claim. Adverts on the TV and magazine reviews influenced me to buy from L'oreal, Maybelline, No7, boots 17, natural collection and even clinique. But whilst wandering around in town, i got handed a leaflet for a free ...
...I headed off to boots, had a chat with the assisstant and told her what I was looking for. She may have laughed when I told her I was on a £40ish budget but she was helpful and provided me with a new foundation, my powder and a free gift which contained this amazing mascara. I went out and bought it the very next day. It was amazing. Completely amazing. Nice packaging, I thought as I pulled the wand out. I couldn't wait to try it. I put it on my ... Read review

Advantages: very high quality product
Disadvantages: quite expensive

I use mascara on a daily basis,even if it is just to go to the supermarket because i believe its one of those make-up basics like powder and lipgloss! Finding the right mascara for your type of lashes or the look you want to achieve is a hard job but definicils is definitely the one for me! Definicils is a high definition mascara,more suitable for an evening look.It elongates and seperates lashes but is quite striking,making eyes stand out and ...
...or natural look. Another advantage of this product for me and I assume for many others is that it is suitable for contact lens wearers!There is a waterprrof version available,suitable for the gymn or hot sticky days although this one is a little harder to remove. If you really need to maximise your lashes to the full i would recommend this product along with some smoky eyeliner for a sultry effect! ... Read review

Advantages: Non irritating, good quality, gives lustrous lashes
Disadvantages: None

...As someone who is often irritated by mascara i found Lancome Definicils to be a perfect choice for me. It is easily applied with a thin brush that does not get clogged up, is suitable for contact lens wearers and people with sensitive eyes. I use this product every day and would definitely recommend it particularly if you have found other mascaras to irritate. Noir Infini is a strong black that makes your lashes look long, lustrous and separated. It is a good quality product that you would expect being made by Lancome and as always in sleek sexy packaging. I have tried other mascaras but I think Lancome Definicils is a reasonable price at £20.50 although you can probably get it for cheaper if you look on ebay.... Read review

Advantages: The comb, apparently
Disadvantages: The comb

...move the wand around ie back to brush, not comb, mode, a small thing but irritating if you are not used to swivelling dual wands. EASY TO REMOVE? Nope, not with soap and water - I know, I know, you are supposed to use eye make-up remover, which does work and you'll need it with this mascara. PRICE? I paid £12.00 for it in John Lewis when I bought some Clinique skincare, in order to qualify for some freebies, being cheapskate, but … WILL I BUY IT AGAIN? No, back to old favourite Lancome Definicils mascara for me - but I might buy a lash comb to try separately, afterwards, and I recommend (as if I need to) that this would have to be washed well after use. UPDATE: - about a month after I bought the damn thing the brush snapped clean off the wand and I although as I say I had to clean it I only gave it a careful wipe - not... Read review

Advantages: long striking lashes
Disadvantages: price

...As a lover of Lancome products I am always keen to try what's new, when it's on offer! I bought this mascara as part of a deal at "gift time" It's always a good time to try their products and you usually get a goody bag with samples of other products to buy. Lancome products are quite pricey when there isn't an offer! As with all Lancome products it looks good with a classy feel about it. the brush has a bend in it for easier application. I have tried lots of mascaras before, but too many of them go clumpy on the lashes, and dry out too quickly, not so with the Lancome Definicils. It lengthens and separates lashes without thickening them too much, giving a quite subtle but glamorous effect. The shaped brush makes the mascara easy to apply especially in the corners of your eyelashes where they are shorter. This mascara... Read review
