Description:

High definition curves and care mascara for visibly regenerated lashes. 12h hold, smudge proof, easy to apply, easy to remove.

Review:

Firstly, not to be mistaken for their "Virtuose" mascara, this actually has "Precious Cells" written on the lid:

This mascara is suppose to give volume and length while nourishing and strengthening your lashes.  I have used this mascara for 3 months, and find that it does subtly give volume and length making your own lashes look naturally darker and more defined i.e. your lashes but better!  So nothing too dramatic. However, it did hold my lashes curled quite well which usually goes down well with me.

As for regenerated lashes?.... I would say my lashes did look healthier while using this mascara, again nothing too dramatic, but after applying the mascara, my lashes felt soft and not brittle or stiff at all, it is also really easy to remove so combined, probably saved a few of my lashes!

Smudge proof?....not for me.  Though to be fair, I have really watery eyes, and did find transfer at the corner of my lower lash area.

So overall, high definition curves?....not so much.  A good daily mascara that makes your own lashes look a lot better while somewhat taking care of them?....that's more like it!  Would I recommend?....sure, for everyday wear when I want more nicer normal looking lashes, I can see myself using this one only because it is also suppose to look after my lashes as well.  Yes, it does smudge a bit however, for someone who doesn't have watery eyes, it could work well for them.  And lets be honest, we all need a "my lashes but nicer" mascara as it's not feasible to always have dramatic lashes at school, university, work or the local supermarket!

Price:  £27.79 (Amazon UK)

Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara:

Key Features:  Evenly coats eyelashes without weighing them down. A must-have mascara to create beautifully extended and lifted-looking lashes. Sweep on using our cone shaped brush and watch your eyes transform lash by lash into a dazzling wide-eyed gaze. 

Price: £23.00

Review:  First of all, the brush head.  I love the cone concept as the large back of the brush would be great for volumising the lashes & the front smaller end would be great for getting into the inner corner of the lashes.  However, I found this mascara wand too big which made the larger end of the wand difficult to use without getting mascara all over the place, so I ended up using the smaller end of the wand to coat my main lashes.  Needless to say, the smaller end of the wand was too big to coat my inner lashes, which sort of defeated the whole concept of the mascara wand.  Though the bristles themselves were good, coating & separating my lashes wells without clumps.

I have to say I was disappointed with the volumising effect.  It did make my lashes look thicker but not as thick as I was expecting considering the description given by lancome.  Though I will concede that this may be due to not being able to use the wand to its full potential.

This mascara that I bought is also the none waterproof version, though I know they now have a waterproof version out, which may make my next point moot.  This mascara smudged everywhere, and when I say everywhere, I had more on the corner of my eyes & below my lower lashes within an hour or two after application than I had on my lashes themselves.  Like I said, I know this is not the waterproof one, but still, some still should stay on the lashes right?  RIGHT?  Instead, it melted and moved down my eyes which made me look like I'd been crying mess!  & no, I was not wearing this in summer, it was in the middle of a freezing winter!

This mascara also took a long time to dry after application so you'll need to be careful and wait for it to dry before doing anything else.  It also did absolutely nothing to help keep my lashes curled....at all.  The scent is also really really bad, it has a strong chemical scent that lingers way too long, and I ended having to hold my breath while applying the mascara.

So all in all, my experience with this particular mascara is pretty bad.  Granted, there has been great reviews out there about this mascara, but it just definitely not for me.  I'd only used it a handful of times to give it as many chances as I could, but in the end, was such a waste as I just couldn't use it.

NEW! Lancome Genifique Yeux Light-Pearl

Lancôme is set to extend its Génifique anti-ageing franchise with the new Génifique Yeux Light-Pearl Eye-Illuminating Youth Activator.

Designed to treat the entire eye area, Genifique Yeux Light-Pearl Eye-Illuminating Youth Activator is said to reinvent eye contour care. According to Lancôme, the light-infused serum, paired with its innovative Light-Pearl applicator, delivers “spectacular” eye-illuminating results, according to the brand. Eye bags, dark circles and fine lines appear reduced, while eyes look bigger, brighter and younger looking with visable results in just 7 days. 

The patented Light-Pearl applicator, crafted from stainless steel, features a 50-degree rotation angle for ease of application whilst allowing the user to massage the eye contour.   For optimum results, Lancôme has created a special application technique, inspired by Shiatsu massage, which targets the facial acupressure points.

Génifique Yeux uses the same breakthrough technology as the original Génifique formula and to meet the specific needs of the eye area, the Génifique Yeux has been updated with the addition of caffeine, escine and an extract of the micro-algae Chlorella Vulgaris, which work together to correct puffiness, dark circles and shadows.

Is avalible from September 2012!

Lancome Renergie Eclat Multi Lift - Their Version of BB cream!

LANCOME has new line (UK, europe and USA) called the Lancome Renergie line and within this line, they have a BB Cream called the "Lancome Renergie Eclat Multi Lift". Lancome claims that this is EVEN better than a BB Cream.

What LANCOME Claims:

Instant lifting-effect and illuminating tinted skincare

More than a BB cream, a new generation of multi-function tinted skincare to moisturize, lift and instantly even skin tone.

Beyond lifting, instant skin illumination.

Lancôme creates its 1st lifting and color-correcting skincare enriched with Multi-Tension technology.

Multi-Action Rejuvenating Effect:
• Skin feels firmer and denser, as if lifted. Wrinkles appear reduced, and skin’s texture feels smoother.
• This tinted formula blends effortlessly to instantly illuminate, give a more even skin tone and improve skin’s radiance.

Smooth and tightened, skin visibly catches the light.

Available in 4 universal shades to awaken dull complexions and tone down redness.
Our 1st multi-action tinted skincare that rejuvenates skin’s appearance: skin’s density, texture and tone is enhanced.

Innovation from Lancôme laboratories:

1. Lifting and Firming: Enriched with Multi-Tension technology designed to target the upper layers of the skin.*

2. Color-Correction: As we age, skin loses its natural, youthful color and each skin tone evolves differently. Our color specialists have developed the Bio-chromatic technology to even out the complexion, allow skin to capture light and correct color changes due to aging.
Rénergie Éclat is available in 4 shades for all skin tones, from fair to deep:
• Fair/Rosy skin: Shade 1 tones down redness.
• Fair/Beige skin: Shade 2 calms yellowing.
• Golden/Beige skin: Shade 3 illuminates olive tones.
• Golden/Dark skin: Shade 4 awakens grey tones.

More than a BB cream, Rénergie Éclat Multi-Lift delivers instant lifting and color correction, restoring the contour and color of a youthful complexion. 

A few thing to point out though is that its' claims of being more than a BB cream because it "moisturises, lift and instantly even skin tone" - however, isn't this the same as most if not all BB creams out there?  So where is the 'more'???  Their 'multi-action rejuvenating effect' is nothing new to BB creams is it?  Have I misunderstood something or does Lancome's research team need to do more research?!
