Sublime De Chanel is a curling and lengthening mascara. I got this as a tester during a recent Chanel make up haul. As this product was intended for women in Asia I can't comment on how well it would stay on in hot climates, I did however go in a steam room with it on and didn't experience any melting from the mascara. I also tried it out when I went for a swim and even when I'd swam underwater I had no panda eyes, although if I touched my lashes the mascara would come off onto my fingers. I also noticed that once I'd come out the pool I didn't appear to have much mascara left.

What Chanel Says:
Sublime length and curl: specially developed to meet the needs of Asian women, SUBLIME DE CHANEL transforms the lashes and lengthens them to infinity.
Its exclusive patented “stretch bi-injection” brush offers dual action in a single stroke:
- its 360 bristles in supple elastomer cover and lengthen the lashes, one by one.
- its 4 mini-combs ensure perfect separation and optimal curl.
Its long-lasting waterproof formula is specially adapted to hot and humid Asian climates. It stretches, sculpts and coats the lashes thanks to waxes with thickening properties and cellulose microfibers, while its vinyl derivative evenly sets lash curl.
The result? Perfectly lengthened and curled lashes that frame sublimely elegant and feminine eyes.

As for its curling and lengthening effects, it did both curl and add visible length to my lashes. I personally prefer volumising mascaras as I found this one made my lashes look a bit like spiders legs. Unfortunately I found this mascara made my eyes very dry and uncomfortable. I also didn't like the application wand as it has hard plastic bristles, I much prefer soft bristles but I know a lot of people do prefer this type of wand. However for me the hard bristles made it both uncomfortable to apply, and hindered my ability to wiggle the brush at the base of my lashes, which would have added volume. I didn't experience any flaking during the day and found this mascara to be long lasting. I did take quite a bit of elbow grease to get off as I didn't bring my usual eye make up remover with me to the pool.

This mascara curled my lashes and added legnth really well, I also didn't get panda eyes when I wore it swimming Unfortunately I won't be purchasing the full sized product as it irritated my eyes and after I'd been swimming there didn't seem to be much product left on my lashes..
