LOL! It took some getting used to. I kinda like it now, though. And I like how the brush head on the Iconic tapers off, but it seems like I have to wipe away tons of excess on that one. The Iconic is mostly a lengthening formula as well, it seems. Oh, and I tried Blackout as well–major raccoon eyes! Nope, the original is the best, IMHO. Crazy big brush head and all!

Hi Karen!

Extase is a French word.

The exact pronounciation would be :

Ex-tâ-se

But this is French, so for an anglophone… I guess you will need a bit more explaination…

Ex = X
tâ = you have to soften the a… in English the ‘A’ usually sounds like ‘hey’ but here, you want to make it sound like the first syllabe of ‘hasard’ (ha)… So the full sound would be ‘tha’, keeping it mind the ‘ha-sard’ sound…
se = … this is the hardest. se = ze, but here again, you need to make the ‘E’ sound a bit more French. Here you will have to pronouce the E like ‘euh’ …

I hope this little French pronounciation help you!

Have a nice week-end!

Catherine

Gah, Karen, I would kill for your natural lashes. Two coats barely gets me to your “naked” lash state! Alas. But I think Lash Blast is really the best thing for girls with puny thin lashes like mine, because it has that flexible-polymer quality to it, so it lengthens and thickens while still looking natural. You actually have to work at being messy to get spider-eyes, whereas that “sticky mascara” look happens to me all the time with other brands/formulas. It’s drugstore makeup, but if it works, who cares?
