When I think of Sisley, I think of classically chic Parisian cosmetics pushed forward with high-end skincare.  Sisley never over-does it and always exudes easy luxury.  When reading up on Sisley So Intense Mascara, I found that this mascara promises to enhance your lashes over time with nourishing rice phyto-ceramides.  The more you wear the mascara, the longer and stronger your lashes are supposed to be.  While I wasn’t able to test their pledge (I have too many mascaras in rotation!), I’m extremely intrigued.

So let’s talk about the brush and formula. I’ll start by saying that the brush is actually a comb.  Super skinny and stiff, the comb works it’s way through the super inky formula to separate and lengthen.  With my second coat, I tempered the richness of the formula by wiping off most of the product from the comb.  I layered my second coat to avoid clumping; this is the one danger zone with this product.  My lashes stayed hydrated and flexible all day so my evening touch-up just reinvigorated the tint and volume.

Because of its luxurious texture, I needed eye makeup remover at the end of the night.  While I usually get annoyed with additional nighttime step, I didn’t really care because the mascara itself was so good.

Should you buy this one? Oh oui!
