DiorShow Extase Mascara
I have been testing a new Dior mascara. It is a flanker for Diorshow called Extase and is currently exclusive to Sephora. This mascara is touted as a treatment product that also delivers high impact lashes. The treatment centers on a "patented ceramid called SR38", which penetrates and repairs the lash. I have only been testing Extase for a few weeks so I can not attest to long term benefits or changes.
I have noticed a dramatic difference in the volume of my lash. It is fatter. Like it is encased in a snuggie. The mascara contains "spherical black pearl pigments that wrap around each lash for a 3D volume". It also contains something called "Metamorphosis powders" that double the size of the lash by 50%. It will help with thickening up whippet thin lashes.
This thicker formula weighs down the lashes and hampers any curl. In comparison to Dior's Iconic, this formula does not deliver a clean application. I experienced flakes and smudges.
Extase mascara features a tiered, dual fiber brush. The Sephora site states the brush contains black Elastomer fibers and gold Nylon fibers. These fibers deliver definition while providing a generous coating. I found the brush collected too much product.
My final thoughts are that Dior Iconic is a beast. No mascara can compare or compete including others in the Dior family.
Diorshow Extase mascara is currently available at your local Sephora and http://www.sephora.com/ for $28. It is available only in black. Let us know if you have tried Extase in the comments.

Suzanna: LOL! My Iconic never has done that!
Beck: I agree!
Helena: Dior Iconic. Hands down.
Thanks for the review! I will look into getting it!
I absolutely LOVED this mascara when I first got it a couple weeks ago and thought it was my new HG. Unfortunately, in the third week or so of using it, it became DISGUSTINGLY clumpy and impossible to work with! This made me extremely sad because it truly was the most amazing mascara before it went clump-crazy. I hope mine was just a dud and that yours doesn't meet the same fate!
I've been using this one and I love it. It doesn't smudge and usually I have to use a waterproof mascara because my eyes run a lot. It is easy to take off and I never have had trouble with too much being on the brush.
Annie, this review reflects everything I have found to be true for me about the new Extase. I caved when it appeared on the Sephora site. I'll use it, but I agree 100% that Iconic is the best mascara I've ever used, nothing compares.
if only it didn't smudge and could hold a curl! Those are musts for me. Oh well
is the active treatment ingredient safe? i love the *idea* of all the new eyelash-growth products on the market, but i'm concerned about irritation. a friend just told me about Lashem, it's one of the few products in the new eyelash-growth category that is supposedly irritation-risk free...
