NARS Private Party Climax Mascara Duo - Explicit Black (Worth £40.50)

A brand that needs no introduction, NARS is a definitive cult classic, remaining at the forefront of the beauty world and quickly gaining a permanent place in the hearts (and make up bags!) of all who try it. Already adored for its cheekily titled hero products, we've a strong suspicion that NARS' Private Party Climax Mascara Duo will create a climactic moment in your gift giving this season... The only issue is that it's far too tempting to keep for yourself.

Thanks to NARS, there's no need to fake it this holiday season, at least when it comes to successful gift-giving and serious lash lift. The Private Party Climax Mascara Duo delivers on both.

An innovation in lash extension, this lengthening mascara is the perfect way to master your fullest, most fluttery eye looks ever. Featuring exclusive 'ribbed' bristles loaded with whipped, super-black pigments, NARS states (with characteristic cheek) that it delivers a 'hard core lift with a soft-core feel', creating explosive volume with a featherweight finish. Enriched with a 'Lash Moisture Complex', it's ideal for creating buildable intensity without clumping or smudging. The brush is big and bold too, delivering length as well as volume with a slightly tapered edge that's great for coating bottom lashes. Now to decide which shade to try first: 'American Woman' or 'Too Hot To Hold'.

For extra lift, use the wand to hold and lift lashes for 5 seconds. For further impact, use the tapered edge of wand to coat bottom lashes.
