The Claim:  

The ultimate instant-volume mascara for lash drama.

What it does:
Hypnôse Drama creates full body, high-volume lashes in a single stroke. The full contact brush, with its S-shaped curve, grasps and loads lashes for a fanned out, eye-popping, full body fringe. It works magic on tiny lashes. Even dramatizes corner lashes other brushes miss—or worse, mess.

What else you need to know:
Lancôme's luxurious new texturizing complex features highly saturated waxes and intense black pigments for maximum lash volume. The triple coating system with caring Pro-Vitamin B5 delivers a fluid and creamy application to quickly and easily build big, battable lashes.

Won't flake or clump. Fragrance free. Ophthalmologist and allergy tested. Safe for contact lens wearers.

In Truth?

• Very nice packaging with black tube and gold lettering
• Addicting floral scent; i catch myself sniffing it like a sharpie pen. It claims to be fragrance free?!
• Scary S shaped curved brush and holds a lot of product in the tube so you don't have to go over your lashes multiple times unlike many many drugstore mascaras
• Feels wet, but dries in a few minutes
• Holds a curl decently, fans out and separates lashes, smudges a little bit on the under eye area, but nothing too bad and can't be fixed with an eyelash comb and a Q-tip.

So Why Should You Buy This? 

This mascara gives you the ultimate doll lashes. Length, volume, and holds a curl all in one. Although it has a larger than average brush, it does decently well on the lower lashes. Just use a small dental floss brush to clean up the lower lashes and you're good to go! Since it smudges ever so slightly, I will review the waterproof version. 

Where Should You Where This: 

It is a bit intense for everyday office wear. I would say you should wear this for an evening date, event, or party. Your lashes may look a bit intimidating, flirty, and mysterious, but you can warm it up with your personality. If you want everyday wear, I highly recommend CoverGirl Lash Exact Waterproof/ Wallet Damage: $8.15 at RiteAid. Lots of length and minimal volume, which is great for office wear. Plus holds a curl all day long. 

Where Should You Buy This: 

Sephora sells this baby for 26.00 plus tax, but you can get it on ebay, amazon, or other online stores for less.  

HG Status: YES! It gets the Queen of the Night Mascara Award!
