Who isn't looking for the perfect mascara? I found the holy grail of lash enhancers with Clinique's High Impact Extreme Volume Mascara, but that doesn't make me want to stop trying new products!
What it claims: Let your eyelashes take center stage with Lancôme’s full volume mascara, Hypnôse Drama.Volume in a single step. Our curvaceous super-sized brush for full lash contact creates high volume and thicker looking lashes. With every stroke our glossy mascara builds a stunning gaze, for beautiful, full body lashes.

My Lancôme Hypnôse Drama Mascara was one of the items included in the Lancôme Beauty Box, and as you can see, it's not full sized, and the design of the tube is a bit different from the solo item.
The tube is made of light plastic but it doesn't feel cheap, and it has the bonus of being a light weight addition to any make up bag (Yes, every gram counts. Damn bad back).
The most interesting feature of the mascara is the big curved brush, which guarantees an easier and more even application on the lashes. I unfortunately didn't find the application any easier, as I felt like I had less control over the brush - tilting it to reach smaller lashes resulted in several smudges (maybe my inexperience with curved brushes is to blame).
The consistency of the product is very, very thick. The great thing about it is that you probably won't need more than one layer for a great effect, but the downside is that it can make the mascara really to layer - the thick formula combined with the tendency to dry extremely quickly makes it very prone to clumps.
Overall, I am happy to use this mascara, but I don't think I would purchase it as a separate item in the future, as I prefer to go for mascaras easier to layer to achieve the false lashes look. If you prefer a natural effect, this is an excellent product and it's worth giving it a go!
Lancôme Hypnôse Drama Mascara is priced at £22.50.
You can find it in a discounted gift set for £22 on the Tesco Website
