Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara

I received the deluxe sample as part of Sephora’s Lash Stash with 4 other mascaras. I throw my mascaras out after 3 months largely because my eyes are sensitive so deluxe size is perfect for me. I like this mascara but I didn’t realise the full size cost my arm!

I know the deluxe packaging is not the same as the full size however the gold lettering placement is the same. It’s rather disappointing that it’s on the lid because it comes off with continual handling so after a month or so it’ll begin to look like any random mascara.

I love the wand. I initially thought it was too big to do anything other than create a mess however it does a great job at lifting and separating my lashes. I don’t think it creates voluminous lashes in one stroke and I don’t know many people who would only run the wand through their lashes once so for me it’s not a deal breaker.

I like that I can coat my lashes a number of times without it drying and becoming clumpy. There is no smudging and the product stays in place all day so I’m quite happy with this mascara but I can’t justify the price of $55 especially if you’re the type who trashes the product after 3 months.

I got this in the Sephora lash stash & wanted to know what was the hype about this mascara. The formula is quite wet & alot comes out with the wand. Also has a distinctive alcohol scent about it that disappears after a while but is obvious upon application & for me offensive. The brush is a thick curved fibre brush not a plastic one which leaves me pleased. So the combination of this brush & the wet thick formula should be perfect right? Well it's almost perfect & I'm so sad in saying that I want to say it's perfect but it's just not that. You can either go clumpy with this formula or you can go without enough on. So in turn alot of handling is required with caution. I do see how the shape of the wand makes application easy however the formula being too wet can create this minor problem other then that. The mascara produces some thick fuller looking lashes.

I have recently finished the last of my Lancome Hypnose Drama mascara, and after feeling a little disappointed that I had come to the end, I decided it was time to share my thoughts. This mascara is a sleek black tube of luxury. The packaging is plain, functional and there is something special about using a high end mascara. Inside is a twisted, curving brush, unlike any other mascara I have used previously. The brush is on display at any Lancome counter, and it is thinner than it appears in the image.

This brush is a secret weapon for long lashes, volume and the perfect amount of curl. The impact that can be achieved is impressive, however this isn't a quick, one step process. I use each aspect of the brush to achieve this final result - twisting and turning multiple times to create length, volume, thickness and curl. The brush is magic - but you must be patient and determined if you want miracle lashes.

The formula is the perfect consistency for achieving great lashes, however I find that it comes off a very light shade of black. I personally would create fabulous lashes with this mascara, and then deepen them with another. I like dark, bold, black lashes, and the Lancome Hypnose Drama mascara didn't do that for me. It stays in place all day, with no smudging or drop down (aside from a tiny bit of dropdown when I came to the end of the tube), however I have never had an issue with smudging with any mascaras. It removes easily with my ZA cleansing oil at the end of the day.

Overall, this is a great mascara, but not my miracle mascara. For $55 I will not be repurchasing at this stage, but I may use the brush with a darker formula.

I was recently talked into changing to Drama by a friend who works for Lancôme. I have always been a fan of Star but I love dramatic lashes so thought I would try it out! While I find the formula is not as easy to work with as others (because it is so thick) if you are patient and take your time with it the results are AMAZING. Like most Lancome products it has a lovely scent, and the packaging is sleek! I love the big thick brush, it reminds me of my fave drugstore mascara (Falsies)

This is my all time favourite mascara. It goes on so easily, separates, curls, lengthens and thickens. Stays all day too. Its easy to apply to the lower lashes too.

I love this mascara havent used anything else for couple of years now because i just like what this does. It volumises easily has a nice dark black formula doesnt clump on my eyelashes and can be built up for dramatic effect or left quite natural with just a couple of sweeps of the brush. Does last well in the tube too without drying out to fast.

This product is great but I always have to use it with another product to get those long full (not clumpy) lashes. it's a great base to use with a finer brush.

I have been using Hypnose Drama now for 6 years, if you love fat, full lashes then this is for you! You won't be disappointed!

Absolutely love this Mascara. While it is often outside my budget for a single cosmetic item, I yearn for it whenever I do not have it. The non-waterproof, Hypnose Drama in black is both intense in colour, and smooth in texture, which means clump-free lashes. It lasts a good 3-4 months as well, which for a daily user is great value. I love that it does not have a strong odour, and that it does build up the volume on my eyelashes pretty well.
