Cold weather is on the way and nothing starts feeling the effects of the elements faster then our hands - so amp up their care with:

Mascara Monday - Le Volume Revolution de Chanel Extreme Volume Mascara - with swatches!

Le Volume Revolution de Chanel Extreme Volume Mascara - $45 - what makes it interesting? It has the first 3D-printed mascara brush with innovative technology for a revolutionary brush design.

The honeycomb structure of the brush loads it with just the right amount of formula. Printed in a unique material, the brush completely releases the mascara with a first sweep of the lashes. In a single stroke, eyelashes reveal immediate, extreme volume without clumping. They reveal an arresting effect.

The formula is nicely liquid without being too wet - a combination of waxes (rice wax, beeswax) with a supple texture that intensely coats and thickens the row of lashes, a polymer film that keeps the “extreme volume” result in place until makeup removal along with a pro-vitamin that strengthens lashes with each application for an exquisite row of lashes.

Apply with a sweeping stroke from the root to the tips of the lashes with a slight zigzagging movement - and it takes just a single coat to perfectly densify the lashes!
