My Experience with Lancome...

Last weekend I went shopping with my mom and our family friend, Shelly. Shelly is 30 and we get along so well. Shelly is really into coupons, she does enough smart shopping that she still get coupons from so many stores, but she also looks online. Online Shelly found a coupon for a 10 day supply of a Lacome foundation and a lash makeover using Hypnose Drama mascara.


My Macys accepted this...hopefully your store accepts this. Looks like there is no expiration...

Because my mom worked at Macys they were super friendly and offers each one of us a sample of Hypnose Drama black mascara. This was also because Macys was super busy that day and they were doing a free gift anyway.The 10 day sample is a small plastic container/bottle, they will match your color and what coverage you want.


My Thoughts
The mini mascara I was super excited for! But I'm so glad I never bought a full size, so not worth
it! First of the smell of the mascara is WORSE then Maybelline mascaras. This has
a heavy perfume scent and I smell it once I take off the top. Then once I put it on my lashes
the smell will stay for a minute or so. The effect of the mascara isn't bad
similar to my Clinique High Impact, but this seemed more wet, so I few lashes 
did stick to one another. This mascara also flakes under my eyes. :(
I know it's not waterproof, but my Clinique High Impact hardly ever fakes (when it 
does it's because I'm touching my lashes). I do think it holds the curl well and it does
look pretty. I think though I'll still still with my Clinique mascaras.
The lacome lady gave me a sample of Teint Miracle because she knew
I wanted light coverage. The match of color was amazing and would let
my skin shine through. I know I sound like a commercial, but it did give me a beautiful
radiance. So I thought to myself, uh oh I have to invest more money when I want the 
full size. Although after a few uses I started getting small break outs. This weren't 
horrible, but you could see redness and small bumps on my neck, chin and the sides of 
my face. I was so sad about this, I don't know if I will finish up the whole sample.
I believe the fragerence of the foudation was what broke out my skin, 
so I plan on finding something simalir at the Clinique counter, because at least then,
I don't have to worry about it messing up my skin.
