Hi Everyone!

If I was stuck on a desert island and had to pick only one makeup item to have with me, it would be mascara! In all honestly, I would say sunscreen because that makes the most sense, but technically that is skincare. LOL. What makeup item would you chose if you were stuck on a desert island? Let me know in the comment section down below!!  🙂

Today we are reviewing Lancome’s Hypnose Doll Lashes Mascara & putting it to the test! I hadn’t heard about this mascara until I watched Vogue’s Beauty Secrets with Kim Kardashian West on Youtube. Kim has absurdly long, thick lashes that make us all super jealous, so naturally, I needed whatever she was selling. Isn’t that how it goes??

Push up your lashes for your most flirty, wide open eye look.” – Lancome’s website

Final Thoughts

While I do think this mascara looks and wears beautifully, I don’t think I would go out of my way to re-purchase it at full price. I think there are some decent drugstore alternatives, such as Essence’s Lash Princess False Lash Effect (green) or Loreal’s Voluminous Butterfly Mascara. With that being said, if I saw this at Nordstorm Rack, TJ Maxx, or Marshall’s at half the price or less, I would most definitely re-purchase. The formula is a little on the dryer side, so make sure you are working quickly when separating your lashes or you will end up with clumpy lashes. I don’t mind the dryer formula, even though it does flake, because I have oily skin & wetter formula’s tend to transfer easily to my eyelids & under my eyes. Most of the claims, such as the precise application, the feasibility of getting into corners and coating each lash, and giving a wide-eye effect, are 100% true & I completely agree with; however, the claims that I don’t agree with is the mascara being clump-free & giving a lifted-effect. Again, if you don’t work quickly, this mascara will clump easily because of the dryer formula. Also, I naturally have longer lashes, but with this mascara, I feel like that wasn’t being portrayed. Maybe because this mascara is more of a volumizing, fanned out lash, instead of lengthing. (Side note: I did not use an eyelash curler or eyelash primer prior to applying this mascara)
