Beauty Product Review: Chanel Inimitables Intense mascara

November 29, 2012

One of my few, but mandatory makeup essentials, is a daily coat(s) of mascara.

I have average length lashes that are also perhaps below average in terms of volume.  But I discovered that a few coats of a good mascara make my eyes look so much brighter and really opens up my face. I am open to trying out different brands from drugstore dominant brands like Revlon to pricier department store options.  I was drawn to trying out this particular mascara after browsing the Chanel duty free counter one too many a time and also hearing Katie mention it.

Chanel Inimitables Intense mascara, Chanel.com, $30

The application with the brush is easy and gets most of my lashes (which are unfortunately almost always wildly different lengths). The formula is also quite interesting because it rubs off in silicone like clumps, not flakes so mascara that comes off doesn’t spread across your entire face.  It is a mascara I’d splurge on again and a staple in my vanity.  I’d want to try Diorshow some time as well among the premium mascaras and will review some drugstore greats as well but that will be for another review!

Chanel Inimitables Intense mascara

Recommend

– Yes! It definitely delivers length and volume in a smooth formula

Pros

– Almost diva-like lashes and a formula that doesn’t flake off

Cons

– None though I could buy a few tubes of more affordable mascara for the price of one tube of Inimitables intense!

Price

– $30

little luxury list

    I may have to try one. I bought one on the advice from the sales person at Sephora and it’s just okay. I really love a good black mascara.

    Ohh your lashes look so volumized and lush, sounds like an excellent mascara!

    Sounds like a great product! I always wear mascara, and lately have been using the Mary Kay brand.

    Good to know that you think it’s worth it! I’ve never tried that one. I have tried Diorshow and while I liked it, I didn’t think it was all that different from some of the better drugstore brands (not enough to merit the price tag!). I really like Maybelline Colossal Lashes (in a yellow tube)–it works so well and is only $7 or $8!

    Ok, not exactly cheap, but a classy Christmas present which would make every girl giggle. I love Inimitable. p.s. I’m so happy to see your eyes, I always wondered how you looked like 🙂 Beautiful!!

  • […] purchased a few Chanel cosmetics from their nail polish (swoon over Chanel Fire and Delight) to mascara (I love Inimitable Intense!) and would definitely keep on buying them.  They are formulated well […]
