After reading a bunch of reviews on how great this mascara is, I told my sister about it and she got it for me on my birthday. I was so excited to try it but ended up very disappointed.
I have been a mascara junkie for about 30 years now and have tried them all. The Lancôme Grandiose just didn't work for me. I found it dried very quickly and left my lashes hard and brittle. It was clumpy going on and ended up flaking off during the day, especially from my lower lashes. Their was little volume or lengthening The swan brush did nothing special and if anything, was a little irritating to use. I found that what did not flake off my lashes was very hard to remove and left dark smudges under my eyes that were hard to get out.
But it does come in a beautiful container that looks very elegant and expensive.
I have tried other Lancôme mascaras and liked their formulas but this formula just didn't cut it....especially with the hefty price tag, but even if it was drug store priced, I would not buy it again.

LANCOME PARIS GRANDIOSE MASCARA;

I like Lancome make up and mascaras, but not this one!
The wand is difficult to work with.
Difficult than other "simple basic" mascara wands,

Looks different / unique / concept but in theory only, otherwise not practical.
Did not like this mascara
