Lancôme Hypnôse Star Mascara in Noir Midnight


 Lancôme Hypnôse Star Mascara in Noir Midnight

Featuring Betty Boop and Daria Werbowy, this mascara offers the new versitale triangular shape of brush for better lengthening and separating lashes and fixing them in a sensual curl. It promises a new formula and new intense colour. Bla, bla. Yes, I never quite believe in what the adverts has to say about mascaras because they all say the same things, which half of them are not quite true in real life after all. I picked Lancôme Hypnose Star Mascara only due to the fact that I owned Hypnose Doll Eyes to be precise before and I really, really liked it. So I expected the same things from this one, if not more.
The plastic black case is quite elegant and curvy with Lancôme logo on the top part of the tube. On the bottom of the tube you see little sparkly diamonds printed on the packaging. Very pretty! But as the old saying says… don't judge a book by its cover, haha.

Lancôme Hypnose Star is easy to apply; although it does have quite a big brush thanks to its shape it is easy to apply to all lashes (even the little ones hidden in the corners of our eyes). It coated all my lashes with one swipe, which is impressive considering I have very thin and short lashes (one would say I have not even got any). For my complete satisfaction I applied two coats. And because my eyelashes are the way they are the mascara did lengthen and volumised them. The shade is a very deep black I guess people with fair skin or light hair may find it more suitable for a night-time look but I think it gives that extra dimension and wow factor to the lashes.

Lancome Purple Rose Collection Blush Highlighter in Moonlight Rose (Limited Edition)


 Lancome Blush Highlighter in Moonlight Rose

I know, I know – purple again! The collection is called Purple Roses but I promise you nothing about this blusher is purple (something for a change, haha). This collection includes Lancome L’Absolu Mat Cashmere (Matte lipglosses) in three shades, Lancome L’Absolu Rouge BX (Matte lipsticks) in three shades, Lancome L’Absolu Nu Lip Stick (Sheer lipsticks) in three shades, Lancome Le Regard Pro: Brow Expertise kit, Lancome Hypnôse Brow Shaper, Lancome Vernis in Love in three shades (I believe), Lancome Le Vernis mattifying topcoat, Lancome Le Crayon Khôl eyeliner in Prune crepuscule and finally, Lancome Blush Highlighter in Moonlight Rose (my favourite thing out of the whole collection!). For some reason, this collection is also called ‘Midnight Roses’ (outside the UK).
This is why I LOVE Autumn/Winter Collections: there is a lot of purple around! And as you “should” know by know, I adore practically every shade of purple.

The plastic case is very elegant and sleek with Lancome logo in the right bottom corner. To open it you have to push a little button just underneath the top lid. It might be slightly difficult especially if you have long nails like I do. And the embossed rose inside looks so gorgeous!...
