You guys. I no longer have to pay $32 every time I want a fresh tube of mascara. I have discovered the best drugstore mascara dupe for Chanel Inimitable.
I’ve been using Chanel Inimitable Intense for years because it provides awesome results. It gives me thick, long, lush-looking lashes that stay put all day.
Why is Chanel Inimitable Mascara So Good?
- It doesn’t droop, flake, or smudge.
- It makes my lashes look mega without looking fake!
- The container is pretty :)
While I can’t say I will for sure stop purchasing it completely, I can say I have found the holy grail of drugstore mascaras that gives Chanel a huge run for it’s money…both literally and figuratively, because it will be running to find my money from now on! I no include CoverGirl Professional Super Thick Lash Mascara in my list of makeup must-haves.
What Are the Differences Between Chanel Inimitable and CoverGirl Super Thick Lash?
With the same amount of effort applying the CoverGirl, I am left with Chanel-grade lashes. There are two minor differences:
- The CoverGirl brush is a little bigger and fluffier, but that is certainly no bother to me.
- The Chanel tube does last at least a month longer (about 3 months total versus 1.5 months for the CoverGirl) before I start thinking of purchasing a new one, but I could get 5 CoverGirl tubes for the price of 1 Chanel.

Here is a photo of the two different mascaras on my lashes. Note: I do not curl or prime my lashes. This is all mascara!
And below is a photo from a day earlier this week when I was wearing Covergirl on both sets of lashes.

Do you see why this drugstore mascara is an awesome dupe for Chanel Inimitable? I was totally shocked that I liked it so much, since I was so convinced that Chanel was the only mascara I would ever like again. I can save over $25 a tube now and use that money for something else if I wish.
Also know that I wear contacts and have horrible allergies, and since this mascara is hypoallergenic, it’s perfect for sensitive eyes. I have had no trouble thus far.
Conclusion
You can save sooo much money by purchasing a tried-and-true drugstore mascara over a designer mascara. However, both work extremely well, so if you want to purchase the Chanel mascara every so often, there’s no harm in that! The tube does tend to last a little longer!
