Hunt for the perfect mascara

It seems to me that the hunt for the perfect mascara is never-ending.  I've decided to can all my previous favourites (Guerlain's Le Deux, Guerlain's Maxilash, Dior's Diorshow and Ultimeyes, Maybelline's Full 'n' Soft... the list goes on and on) in favour of Chanel's Inimitable.  This is what I'm going out to try to buy and trial today.
Any other recommendations for a great mascara which lengthens, thickens, lifts and darkens, makes my lashes look fake with a consistency more wet than dry, and comes with a three bedroom apartment and swimming pool, are happily taken on board.
