This is, without a doubt, my HG mascara! Apologies for the blurry photo, I'm a woefully bad photographer...I tried to take a pic of the brush but it failed utterly and completely, but it's a good size, not massive like the more recent Maybelline mascaras, but not as small as, say, Diorshow Iconic (I know this because my sister owns this mascara!). The blurb found on Boots.com and debenhams.com runs as follows:
"Extreme VOLUME, absolute LENGTH, bold CURL: your lashes take on a new dimension and become the assets of fascinating, intense eyes. The new INIMITABLE INTENSE formula features a patented blend of a vinyl copolymer and wax for a smooth and even coating on the lashes to enhance every dimension of your lashes.
As inimitable as ever, its high-tech brush in soft, flexible white elastomer evenly coats each lash from root to tip. Lashes are instantly lengthened, curled and separated. Its conical shape reaches even the smallest lashes at the corner of the eye. Daytime makeup shows off new sensuality and evening looks captivate with incomparable intensity."

The above pictures show my bare lashes, although I am wearing a bit of Urban Decay eyeliner! Please excuse my awful eyebrows, I really need to get those shaped properly at some point. Now, for comparison:
As you can see, there is a marked difference! One swipe of this mascara is enough to create the effect above, although admittedly I always use a couple of coats because I like my lashes to be dramatic and absolutely massive. In this respect the website description is absolutely correct, it delivers curl, length, and volume and it does stick around! I've worn this a couple of times from about 8am to evening and it looks just as good before taking it off as it did when putting it on. It's also pretty good at reaching the smaller lashes, admittedly Max Factor Lash Extension Effect mascara is slightly better at this, but then again that mascara doesn't deliver the same effects as Chanel... I don't know about it being "inimitable" as I've not tested every mascara on the market, but take it from me, this is better than every single other mascara I've ever used! I give this a wholehearted 10 out of 10.
Chanel Inimitable Intense retails for about £21.50 and comes in 5 different shades, according to the Debenhams website.
