Yay! New Chanel Mascara!

Oh it's always a good day when a new Chanel mascara seductively slinks on-counter. Exceptionnel is box-fresh and I am loving it. €27 nets you this volumising mascara, designed to add volume from the roots, thanks to its special brush - a flexible plastic affair.

It takes a wee bit of getting used to, but once you've mastered getting it right into the lashline, and flicking out, lashes really are defined a lot. Even adding three or four coats in quick succession - which I always do - leaves a clump-free finish. One point - you need a really good cleanser to remove, and as I've been finding my oil hasn't been enough, I need to use a separate product.

So, the obvious question is - is it as good as Inimitible? No, to be truthful, but it's a product in a different league. This does what it says it will - curls and adds volume, meaning I'm picking it as my new daytime choice. Inimitible is what I'll continue to fall back on for va-va-voom lashes, and it's my ultimate night-time choice.

Chanel will have a hit on their hands with Exceptionnel regardless, of that I'm sure.
