Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara Photos,Review,Swatches

For quite a while I wanted to try a Lancome Hypnose mascara. So when the Sephora had 25% off  of selected brands I decided to give it a try. From the different Hypnose mascaras that Lancome has I chose Lancome Hypnose Drama.

You can't imagine how excited I was to try it since I normally choose drugstore brands for mascaras.I must say that I really like the packaging of the mascara and of the box.Let's have a look at the wand

It's a normal size wand with S-shaped which supposedly gonna help you to better cover your lashes.

What Lancome says about this mascara:

"Get instant lash drama in a single coat with this ultra volume-boosting mascara that’ll take lashes from so-so to show-stopping. The full contact brush, with its S-shaped curve, grasps and loads lashes for a fanned out, full body fringe. Lancôme’s luxe Texturizing Complex features highly saturated waxes and intense black pigments for maximum lash volume. The triple coating system delivers a fluid and creamy application to quickly and easily build big, battable lashes that won’t clump or flake."

What I think about this mascara:

First let's see the before and after

 *one coat and curled*

The formula of Hypnose Drama is quite creamy.It does add some volume and length but you really have to be careful when you apply it. What I mean? When you take out the mascara wand you end up with a lot of product on the wand so if you won't remove some, in the end you will have clumpy lashes and that's not pretty unless you like this kind of look. This is my biggest complain, I need to take that extra step to have a nice look. 

Also I was expecting for the mascara to give a bit more volume but I must say that I'm not disappointed with the Hypnose Drama and I quite like it.

What I notice is that if you spend some more time while applying it you can achieve really pretty lashes.

Now about it's lasting power. If you won't curl your lashes after the application and if you won't apply a ton of product it will last for quite a while. Whereas if you curl your lashes after the application you will see some fall out after around 3 hours...This is the not waterproof version so you won't have a hard time to remove it.

Overall rating: 4/5

Whould I buy it again?: I like it but I don't see myself spending that much on mascara,specially since I'm on budget now.

Have you tried it? Do you like it? What high end mascara do you like?

Mini Sephora haul

Yesterday I went for a walk with my mom to get some fresh air.We went to Sephora and couple other stores....So as I walked through the door of Sephora I looked on the right side and what I saw?OPI nail polishes on sale from 13.90 euros down to 8.90 euros...
Just to let my Greek readers know Sephora and Hondos Center have 25% off on beauty products so go and check them out,you can find some pretty good deals.What I noticed is that Sephora does slighty better offers than Hondos Center does...
Unfortunately the shades that were on sale are from old collections,the newest ones were at 13.90...I bought the Girls Love Gold gift bag,which had a small make up bag and 2 OPI nail polishes in Rising Star and Bring on the Bling.Also I bought the Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara and got the sample of Lancome's Teint Idole Ultra 24H foundation

Normally I would pay 30 euros for the OPI set and 33.10 euros for the Lancome Hypnose Drama mascara but instead I paid for both of them 33.10 euros,great deal right?
I want to try that Lancome's 24H foundation although I highly doubt I would buy that one over the MUFE(Make up for ever) HD since Lancome's cost 43euros while MUFE's 33,we'll see.
In my later posts I will post the review for the Hypnose and swatches of OPI nail polishes :),so keep checking back or even better follow the blog so you will be notified.

NOTE to Greek Girls:Go and Check out your local Sephora cuz I think they might have that offer for the OPI nail polishes as well as they try to sell all the shades from previous collections :)
