What do women expect from good mascara? So that it is applied easily and evenly, do not leave lumps, lengthen the cilia, add volume to them and twist the tips a little. Why shouldnât good mascara do? Glue eyelashes, crumble, leave imprints on the eyelids, smear. All these aspirations of women were taken into account and introduced in their products by the cosmetic company "Guerlain". Guerlain mascara will be the topic of our conversation today. We will test three samples. This is the âgoldenâ classic âZils Denfer Mascaraâ, the extending and waterproof âWaterpruff Maxi Lashâ and the novelty of the season - Cils D'Enfer So Volume from âGuerlainâ. Let's see what unique qualities these mascaras have and what sample should be chosen. To begin with, about the sad - about the price. The French company Guerlain produces luxury products. Therefore, a tube of carcass will cost you about one thousand seven hundred rubles.
Packaging
An expensive thing should look luxurious - the creators of decorative cosmetics from Guerlain proceeded from this postulate. The mascara of this company resembles a gold bar. The second specimen flickers with a metallic luster of silver of the highest standard. But the novelty, which increases the volume of eyelashes, added glamorous style to flashy luxury. The tube âSou Volyumâ is a âgold barâ enclosed in a black smoky veil. Ceramic-plastic case reminds lipstick "Kiss-Kiss" from "Guerlain". Of course, tubes of mascara are packed in glossy black boxes. They indicate the volume (eighty-five milliliters), company, name and color of the carcass. The novelty, which provides the maximum volume of cilia, is still available in a single shade - black. The color of the carcass is indicated on top of the "ingot" - 01 NOIR.
Aromatic fragrance
Testing further. Smell. Mascara is not perfume, or even deodorant. Typically, eye makeup does not smell. But this does not apply to Guerlain products. Each of the three samples has its own unique perfume composition. For example, Guerlain's golden mascara smells just amazing - chocolate. And the âingot of silverâ gives a subtle aroma of delicate violet. As for the novelty, then in it, as in real spirits, there is a whole perfume composition. It opens with a fresh fruity accord of ripe peach. In the âheartâ of the fragrance lie the oil tones of roses, jasmine and fragrant raspberries. And in the loop of the composition benzoin resin, white musk and the smell of expensive powder sound. It should be said that the aroma of the mascara is unobtrusive, but quite noticeable to enjoy it at least during makeup. Perfume composition does not irritate even the most sensitive eyes.
What does a brush look like?
Unscrew the caps from our samples of the carcass "Guerlain". The first two (âgoldâ and âsilver bullionâ) have very short brushes. But their coverage is classic. That is, short and very dense villi go along the entire length of the brush with a spiral. Thanks to them, eyelashes are well grasped, stained and separated by a fan. Some girls complained about the short brush length. Say, with such a short pen it is difficult to paint the corners of the eyes. The manufacturer took into account the complaints, and in the new âSow Volyumâ the brush is longer. I must say about it separately. It is made of lightweight plastic elastomer, so the brush is very light and flexible. Moreover, she has not a classical form, like her âsistersâ, but a conic one. The villi do not follow it in a spiral, but in even rows. And they seem to be less. It would seem, how can this rare brush grab and paint the cilia? It turns out that it was developed specifically for the texture of the carcass. The sharp edge of the brush is not superfluous. Its purpose is not to poke the mistress in the eye, but to remove excess carcasses.
And what is the composition?
Each sample of cosmetics for the eyes from the company "Gerlen" has its own unique formula. Gold bullion mascara contains plant extracts and keratin. They contribute to the rapid growth of cilia. Natural wax reliably envelops the hairs and protects them from the influence of aggressive external environment. Water-resistant mascara contains polymers that prevent eyelashes from sticking and printing on eyelids. And the conditioner, which is also present in the formula, protects the hairs from drying out. The consistency of the first two samples is somewhat liquid. But this, according to reviews, in the first two weeks of use. Further, the mascara acquires a creamy structure. Now about the new product that provides volume - Cils D'Enfer So Volume from Guerlain. This carcass contains three polymers. One of them feeds the cilia. The second gives volume by gently enveloping each hair. The third prevents imprinting on the eyelids. Due to the innovative pigment, the eyelashes are richly black, velvet, but without the effect of âdoll eyesâ. The texture of this cosmetic product is initially creamy.
Application
Guerlain mascara for reviews is called very convenient to use. Classic brushes hold eyelashes well, comb them and easily stain them from all sides. The "gold bar" is good for daytime makeup. One layer provides long, visible, but natural cilia. For a "dramatic look" two applications are enough. Users notice that the "golden" Guerlain mascara not only perfectly lengthens the eyelashes, but also gives them volume. True, insignificant. Mascara from the "silver ingot" looks the same in front of our eyes. It gives the eyelashes not velvety, but rather a moist gloss. Although the eyes do not look teary at all. The novelty that provides the volume, because of its brush, requires more manual dexterity when handling it. No, there is no need to resort to any shamanism with pins, additional combs and tweezers. It should just be painted from the roots, leading the brush with a zigzag along the length of the eyelashes. You need to start from the inside, gradually moving to the outside. All three specimens bend hairs perfectly. If you want to make up eyelashes in two or three layers, do not wait long for drying.
How to hold
All three âGuerlainâ carcasses do not cause allergies or the slightest discomfort. Eyelashes do not seem heavier. Users with oily eyelids said that the golden Guerlain mascara still left marks under the brow by the end of the day. But this does not apply to the other two samples. Makeup works great all day. Mascara does not crumble. In stuffy weather, in frost, with drizzling rain, it also behaves normally. Of course, only Waterperf from Guerlain can survive violent sobs. During the day there is no need to tint the eyes. And in the evening the eyelids do not get tired. You even forget about makeup - this mascara is so light. No lumps from drying out are formed, even if you applied the product in three layers to create a languid look. Users really liked the fact that the eyelashes seem natural, not false. That is, there is neither the effect of "spider legs" nor the vulgar "doll eyes".
How to wash off
"Gerlen" - mascara that can be removed from the eyes with ordinary micellar water. At least that's what the manufacturer claims. In fact, this applies only to the "gold bar". Waterproof mascara is more obstinate. It is able to resist micellar water, and a two-phase cleaner, and foam for washing. She gives up only in front of warm water and soap. As for the novelty, it is washed off with the usual make-up remover. Maybe not the first time and not as easy as we would like. But this is the flip side of the coin of fortitude. Indeed, with such mascara it is possible in the rain, and in the snow, and in the damp heat, and in the wind. Even if you forget about makeup (which is easy, given its "weightlessness" for the eyelids) and rub your eyes, no disaster will happen. You can also spend the night with waterproof mascara : it will not crumble, and the paint will not fade. As for color pigments, the classic "ingot" has three options: black, brown and purple. Users really like the last shade. There is no hint of grayness - a very even purple color. The perfect shade for green-eyed girls. And for brownies, brown color is suitable - mocha. He is without a redhead, but beautifully casts in the sun. Alas, the Guerlain Cils D'Enfer So Volume mascara is presented so far in only one version - black.
Cost-effectiveness
The first rule of cosmetologists says that after three months of use, mascara should be thrown away. Say, pathogenic bacteria develop on the brush. But the price of Guerlain products is not the same as discarding mascara in three months. Moreover, products after this period look like brand new. The thinner âGuerlainâ mascara âgoldenâ (reviews claim that it comes in the right condition after two weeks of use) remains fresh for a very long time. What pleasantly surprised users, even a slightly dried product does not form lumps on the eyelashes. Mascara with the effect of lengthening after six months of use still stains hairs just as well. They are perfectly separated, well-groomed and curled. Volume mascara also does its job well six months after opening the tube.
Dispenser
The fluffy brushes of the first two "ingots" ("gold" and "silver") very well come out of a tight plastic stop. Mascara is typed exactly as much as you need to dye your eyelashes in one layer. As for the news, there is a nuance. It seems that the shape of the tube has remained the same, classic. This is an ingot shape, only color now with black tuning. But the brush has become thinner. Therefore, it easily leaves the classic dispenser, bringing with it surplus funds. They can be wiped on the edge of the tube. But this leads to a lot of dried paint accumulating on the cap. Therefore, the volumetric mascara "Guerlain Cils D'Enfer" reviews are advised to use very carefully, so that excess funds do not hang on the eyelashes with clots, lumps. To prevent the paint from drying out in the tube, you need to close it with your finger during makeup. A brush should be put forward in a circular motion - so the excess carcass will remain on the walls. Return it to the tube in a similar way. If you simply push the brush inside, then air will come in, which prematurely drains the product.
Accessories
The Guerlain Cils D'Enfer mascara contains a small mirror in its packaging. To many users, this accessory seemed very appropriate. The tube itself in the form of an ingot is very stylish, and thanks to its small size it fits well in a cosmetic bag. Therefore, a mirror is useful to many users, if only to just see if it is necessary to correct makeup. Thrifty users share a secret. You can buy not a full mascara, but a storage. In this case, it will cost not one thousand seven hundred rubles, but only nine hundred.
Review Summary
Users claim that Guerlain Mascara is very easy to use. One application is enough to achieve a charming effect. Thanks to the adhesive oils in the mascara, eyelashes are completely and comprehensively dyed. This tool is used by people with allergies and wearing lenses. They do not feel any discomfort from the carcass. Color pigments create a very rich shade of eyelashes. And polymers provide protection against imprinting on the eyelids and spreading.
