First off can we just appreciate the packaging. This is honestly the best looking mascara I own. It's just so pretty. The Grandiose mascara has a swan neck to create a wide-angle fan effect and make application easier for all eye shapes. This wand is perfect for preventing the beyond annoying smudge on your nose when you misjudge how close your hand is to your face when doing the dreaded other eye. It's also pretty easy to get right down to the lash line. These kind of rubber brushes kinda scare me because I always seem to impale my eyeball but I've only poked myself once and that's because I was not paying attention to what I was doing. My eyeballs seem to be pretty safe even if the brush does look dangerous.

The formula is pretty damn good and I love how it makes my lashes look. It's so easy to get an even application and if you're in a rush then one sweep gives you a beautiful fan effect. It adds the perfect amount of length and staying power is impressive. This was my go to mascara for ages and has only recently been outdone by smashbox and only because it gives a touch more volume. .
