Forgive me if I chime in, but my two cents are that the Chanel mascara (as much as I love all things Chanel) isn’t worth the extra bucks. The exception is if you’re craving some of the more hard-to-find colors (Hello, Emeraude!), but for a plain ol’ black mascara there are a lot that I like better! My go-to is Max Factor’s Lash Perfection and for extra oomph I like Tarte’s Lights, Camera, Lashes! They do have the little mascara wands at the Chanel counter (at least at Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus they do), though, so if you can stand to go bare-lashed you can try it for yourself before you take the plunge! Good luck!

I don’t know about the Chanel mascara. It’s been recommended to me by people… Any suggestions on your part?

I haven’t heard of Nars Laguna. But apparently Benefit has some good ones too.

Yah, the LM in the little tube! Super-pretty!

I’m looking forward to Neo Sci-Fi, but Cool Heat is the collection I really want to see! I was over checking out the Dazzleglasses today (a little too sparkly, I’ll stick with my Chanel ) and was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Naughty Nauticals! Not the most exciting collection IMO, but the Meet the Fleet shadow is gorgeous! I was initially disappointed because it’s a matte finish (my least favorite of all shadow finishes), but after seeing it I may cave anyway! It’s an inky indigo that would be the most amazing liner shade! Definitely worth checking out!

Technakohl is the next liner on my list to check out… if I can wean myself away from those Shu drawing pencils!
