Okay, so, I got this Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara, right? I’ve been using it for a while now, like, since Christmas, and I think I’m ready to give my two cents on it. Let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey with this one.
First off, I’m all about that waterproof life, especially when it comes to mascara. My eyes tend to water a lot, you know, allergies and stuff. So, I picked up the waterproof version of this Hypnose Drama thing. The packaging? Pretty standard, nothing to write home about. But hey, it’s what’s inside that counts, am I right?
Getting into the nitty-gritty, when I first used it, I was like, “Okay, this is… something.” The brush is kinda big, which isn’t usually my thing, but I figured I’d roll with it. I started applying, and man, the volume was definitely there. It’s like, BAM, lashes for days. But here’s the catch – it got clumpy real fast. I had to work extra hard to separate my lashes, and even then, it wasn’t perfect.
- Volume: 5/5 – It’s like, instant drama, no joke.
- Waterproof-ness: 4/5 – Held up pretty well, even during a good cry session.
- Clump Factor: 2/5 – Yeah, not great. Had to use a lash comb every time.
- Smudging: 3/5 – It did smudge a little by the end of the day, but not too bad.
Here’s a little breakdown:
I kept using it, trying different techniques, you know? Like, wiping off some of the excess product before applying, using a lighter hand, the whole nine yards. It got a bit better, but that clumping issue was still there. I even tried using a lash primer beforehand, which helped a little, but still, it wasn’t the effortless look I was going for.
Now, I know some people swear by this mascara. They’re all about that dramatic, bold lash look, and they don’t mind the extra work to avoid clumps. And hey, more power to them. But for me? It was just a bit too high maintenance.
So, after using it for a good few months, I decided to switch things up. I went back to my old, reliable drugstore mascara, and honestly, I haven’t looked back. It’s just easier, you know? Less fuss, less clumping, and my lashes still look pretty decent.
Final verdict? The Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara is a decent product. If you’re into that super voluminous, dramatic lash look and you’re willing to put in the work to prevent clumping, then you might love it. But if you’re like me and prefer something a bit more low-maintenance, then you might want to skip this one.
Anyway, that’s my experience with the Hypnose Drama Mascara. Hope it helps someone out there! I’ve learned my lesson – sometimes, the expensive option isn’t always the best one for me. It’s all about finding what works for you, right?
