Lancome Cosmetics Counter

Well, maybe someone paid attention to my exasperated review (though that seems an egocentric interpretation of events), but anyway – this outfit apparently replaced the aggressive saleswoman with an older staff member who has an unassuming manner and lines in her face (like a European model who smokes and is aging unapologetically), And from this charming, low-​pressure person I just acquired a year’s supply of superb makeup on the cheap. Seasonal promotion; comes in a black quilted box in two color lines – mine is suitable for coppery-​skinned African Americans or me, a tawny person of uncertain ethnic origins; the other has a more rosy tone. While supplies last. ..

I’m a girly girl. I love to linger in Macys to see what the latest and greatest is. Allow me the opportunity to save you $ 40. After listening to the sales girl explain to me that this brand new, state of the art mascara
The first vibrating Powermascara by Lancôme: 7000 oscillations per minute would actually make my lashes 3 times longer I was entranced. Tell me more…
Press the button and experience a breakthrough sensation in application. In one easy new gesture, let the vibrating brush combined with an exquisitely smooth formula wrap every lash up to 360°
Instantly see a fascinating gaze: lashes appear ultimately extended, remarkably separated, and virtually multiplied in number.
She also told me that it would actually CURL my lashes and I’d never need a lash curler again. Anyone that uses lash curlers knows what a bitch it can be if you pinch the delicate skin around your eyes with it. Or worse accidentally yank a few hairs out.
But she had me convinced and promised that if I took it home and tried it and didn’t love it I could come back and return it the next day full refund.
I think Wet & Wild makes a better product for about a dollar. Seriously. *lol*
This mascara instantly globed onto my lashes in clumps that I had to spend far more time cleaning up, than it’s ever taken me to put mascara on (one eye I’m talking). Top it off, it flakes. A LOT. Once dry, all day long I’d find black flakes under my eyes and on my cheeks. What a total disappointment.
I went straight back the next day and they did refund me. This is why I give one star. But the initial sales girl fed me more BS than a traveling car salesman.
I’ll consider it taking it for the team. Ladies, Gents, Buyer beware.
As for me, I think I’ll stick with one of my Clinque standards and Cover Girl for waterproof events.
