Guerlain Noir Noir Mascara (5/5)

My favourite mascara so far. This elegant looking smooth lined gold case has a mascara wand at both ends. It is double ended! You get two for one. What is fantastic about this is the short wand is more delicate and perfect for lower lashes and for flicking out the end corner lashes or upper lid. The main end is regular use, side to side and run over top and bottom. I was introduced to this by Gina, a make up artist in LA who uses it day in day out on her clients.

This gets a 5 because as I live in a hot country my mascara smudges and I have to keep dabbing under my eye.  But not with this one, it is the first to withstand the heat without smudging. Therefore it works well in all conditions and still comes off easily with an oil-based remover at night.

The only point I would say (Guerlain if you're reading) a casing issue; the little wand lid has over-twisted so it is not streamlined with the main body when closed. But the product itself is so good it still gets my 5 star rating.
