Strictly winner Abbey Clancy’s go-to mascara is 25% off

If you’re a fan of Abbey Clancy’s glamorous makeup looks, the presenter, model and Glitterball trophy holder recently revealed the contents of her makeup bag. A key product in her kit? A Lancôme mascara that’s currently discounted at LookFantastic.

Fans of the TV star might already know that she is also the host of two podcasts, including one she makes with her husband Peter Crouch, titled The Therapy Crouch. On a recent episode released on November 27, Abbey was asked by a listener about her go-to makeup products, and the list was surprisingly accessible.

Among products from high-street brands like Rimmel and Nars, she revealed that her favourite mascara is Definicils by Lancôme. 

“It’s just the best,” said Abbey, who won Strictly back in 2013. She added that she has been loyal to the product for decades. 

Even though Black Friday has ended, beauty retailer LookFantastic still has some great discounts on a selection of beauty and fragrance treats, including the specific mascara. 

A tube of Definicils usually retails for £29, but has been cut by 25%, making the discounted price £21.75. 

The mascara promises to thicken, extend and lift lashes using a brush specifically designed to evenly distribute, separate and evenly coat them from the root. The formula is said to be clump-free and weightless, with a natural finish.

The mascara, which is one of the French brand’s staple products, has many loyal fans, much like Abbey, with some leaving rave reviews online. One said: “This is a fantastic mascara and I have used it for over 40 years. I have tried other Lancôme mascaras but always fall back on Definicils. It lengthens and separates the lashes and stays on all day, in all weather.”

Another wrote: “This is in my opinion the best mascara. I have been using it for years and although I have tried many other premium brands, this is definitely my favourite. The long slim brush applicator makes it easy to apply, doesn’t clump your lashes together, it’s long lasting and easy to remove.”

A third reviewer commented on the texture: “This mascara is so good, it doesn’t flake off or go clumpy! It makes your eyelashes look so long and natural!”

However, one shoppper was less satisfied: “Besides colour, i don’t feel like it added length or volume at all. It took a lot of effort and coating to feel like it had any effect.”

Since this particular formula doesn’t focus on volume, shoppers looking for a product with more impact could try another Lancôme mascara, like the Hypnôse Drama. This one is formulated specifically for helping lashes appear fuller and thicker, and is also 25% off on LookFantastic’s website, down from £30 to £22.50.
