Mascara: we can’t live without it, right? Isn’t it the one thing we’d ask to be stranded on a deserted island with? No. Oh, come on: if the ship were to go down you wouldn’t reach for your new Inimitable Waterproof Brun by Chanel (out now) over a flare, or your first born? But it’s a lifesaver! Mascara is magic. Think about it: if we were asked out on a date at the last minute it would be our new Fiber Lash Brush On Lashes (available 21st March) by ModelCo that would take us from day to night. And if we were tired at work one day we’d not just sit there under-performing and risking redundancy, we’d cleverly apply a few more coats of our new Lancôme Oscillation mascara (available 29th March) and fake awake. Best when brand new – when pre-loved and past it’s best, mascara becomes claggy and flakey, or worse still, acrid smelling and infection-causing – it’s essential you monitor your mascara much like your toothbrush: only using formulas that are in peak condition and performance.
