Guerlain Mascara Le 2

Happy Friday everybody!

Today I would like to show you my latest mascara discovery. The Guerlain "Le 2 Mascara". It is being called "Le 2" because of its two  brushes. The larger one being intended for the longer lashes and the smaller one being for the shorter lashes.

It costs around 36 Euros for 8ml. Well, it is quite pricey. I think it is available in black and brown. I am owning the black version.

The mascara is not waterproof but very smudge proof. I went to swim with it in the sea and I had no problem at all (but I also did not rub my eyes after swimming). I like the formulation for not being waterproof because I hate the removal of waterproof mascara. It always takes me a long time and I often loose quite a few lashes.

Let me describe the product in a little more detail.

The mascara comes in a large golden package. It is quite big and heavy. (All Guerlain products tend to take a lot of space in make up bags due to their spacious packaging.)

On each end you have a brush the large brush being on the side of the Guerlain labeling. 

The formulation of the mascara seems quite 'normal' to me. It is not especially liquid or especially dry. The brushes however are interesting. The large brush is round and has plastic bristles. The small brush by contrast is a small straight tapered brush.

I am using first the large brush for my upper lashes and then I make a second round with the small brush on the upper inner and outer lashes and on the lower lash line. This works quite well for me. The big brush gives volume and lengthens the lashes while the small brush separates the lashes and adds color to the lower lash line and the short lashes in the inner and outer eye.

Having the mascara applied on all the lashes helps to get a more intense result. It really opens the eyes when applied correctly.

Summing up:

Pros:

• Very Good Lasting Power
• Wonderful intense result when applied properly
• Luxury to have two brushes

Cons:

• Application can be tricky. Steady hand with the small brush on the lower lash line is needed. Otherwise you paint your face.
• Expensive!

By the way you can also get a great look when using only the large brush! So, whoever is not in the mood or does not have enough time in the morning to work with two mascara brushes will still get a lovely result. 

I absolutely love this mascara as it stays in place all day and because it gives such a well defined result opening my eyes and making them look larger.

Happy Weekend Everybody!!
