I’m not usually one for higher end mascaras. I think mascara
is that one product that I can honestly say ‘drugstore’ is best. That was until
I tired the Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara.

I got a sample of this in a magazine (Tatler, I think) used
it twice and went out to buy the full size. It doesn’t come cheap (£21 a tube)
but it’s worth it. It does everything I want a mascara to do, and more.
It claims that it gives “intense
volume” and “curled lashes”, which
it does. It says the it gives the lashes a “deep…intensity”
which it does. It lifts lashes up, curls, lengthens and adds volume to
them. It not only curls, but it holds
the curls all day, at least it does for me.
One coat can give you that nice day time look, and two amps
it up to give the best night time look without the fuss of false lashes. I’ll
admit I’m rubbish at applying falsies, but love the effect of them so I struggled
to put them on for a long time but now I don’t bother because this mascara
gives the effect without the hassle.
The brush is unlike anything I’ve tried before, and haven’t
seen it on anything else. It’s a tapered shape that they refer to as a “black diamond” but I’ve also heard it
called the Christmas tree wand because it kind of looks like a Christmas tree.
The different sides allow you to create the effect you want because certain sides
add a little more product to create a dramatic look, whilst others leave a nice
natural coating on the lashes.
You can get it here, and I would highly
recommend it. Mascara is something I find hard to recommend because most people
have their own preference but I think anyone, no matter what your mascara
tastes, will love this.
