I have one more mascara to try after this review and I'll be finished with my Lash Stash review project. This time we'll be looking at Lancome's famous Hypnose Drama Mascara in "Excessive Black". I chuckled a little when I saw the name of the color. We've run out of names for the color black so marketing people have come up with trendy versions to call this color such as excessive black, rich black, blackest black, ultra black etc..I have "black" eyelashes that appear brown at the tips under light so I can definitely appreciate that there are various intensities of the color, but after seeing dozens all these different names it becomes rather amusing. "Ubertastical Black Matter Black", anyone?

Product Description from Lancome's Website:
Turn up the volume of your lashes 6 times for instant
come-hither, hypnotizing eyes. Tiny, barely-there lashes are no match
for the patented POWERFULL™ brush that thickens lashes from root to tip
with custom volume you can control. And the exclusive, fluid SoftSculpt ™
formula, enriched with Vitamin B5, wraps lashes one luxurious layer at a
time without smearing, smudging or clumping.
This mascara has one trademarked technology listed. Makes the product seem so much more reliable...maybe? Well, how it does it fair?
I was pleasantly surprised at the results. I got some very nice volume that didn't come at the expense of badly clumped lashes. The lashes fan out neatly thanks to a well designed brush. There is some clumping but it isn't a deal breaker.
The S-shaped brush head is designed to generously add product onto your lashes while preventing clumping. I am impressed by how well this brush works. My only complaint is the design is so effective at depositing product onto lashes that before you get a chance to even out or comb excess product off, some gets onto your lid from blinking or just moving too fast. Getting product on lids is my biggest pet peeve. It is so annoying to have to spend extra time getting a cotton swab to rub off the mascara and then reapply some eye shadow. All I have to say about that is WASTED TIME.
Aside from that annoying bit, the product is a tad pricey being $27 for one tube. I heard there is a big drugstore brand that delivers similar results. I will check that one out once these Lash Stash mascaras run out. On that note, if you're like me and find that most volume-based mascaras clump and have tried a lot of different mascaras without much luck, I do recommend Lancome's Hypnose Drama to you. If $27 is too steep then certainly keep looking. I'll be providing mascara reviews until there's nothing more for me to say so check back. :)
Retails for $27 USD
