Remember how I said I don’t like reviewing products I feel “meh” about because I don’t think those posts are interesting to read, or products I don’t like…? Yeah. Well. Sorry in advance, because I feel ‘meh’ about this mascara! I was excited to try it since I’d never tried a Lancome mascara before and I know so many girls who love these. However, my results with this particular one are just blah.
One coat of Lancome Hypnose Doll Lashes
The brush (seen at the top image) comes out really gloppy. That’s a technical term. It comes out with a lot of mascara on the brush. It just doesn’t seem to do that much. It’s a really natural looking mascara. I saw Pursebuzz did a review of this on her youtube channel and she wasn’t that impressed either. Like her, when something says “doll lashes” I expect them to be like BAM. DOLLY LASHES, YO! But this is more like “hi, psst, dolly lashes.”
Yes, it looks better if you also curl your lashes, but uh…can’t that be said about ANY mascara?
It also smudges a bit on me, and as someone with dry skin this is normally not an issue with me. I like a mascara that I don’t have to worry about if I wanna take a little catnap. This one will get all over the dang place if you do that. It’s also a bit on the flaky side. Blah.
If you want to try a mascara that I like a lot better, save yourself $20 and get L’Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes. Or if you’re a masochist, go to Sephora and spend $26 on this one. But don’t say I didn’t warn ya!

i’m with you. i was so excited and it’s just ok. i get better results with lashblast to be honest.
So glad I read this- i guess the name & cute tube swayed me a bit- despite past “mehness” on the topic of Lancôme mascaras, this was tempting. I’ll take your advice and try Million Lashes next time I replenish :)
This came at the right time, bc I’ve contemplated buying this but have been hesitant to spend the $$ since I love drugstore mascaras! Looks like I’m keeping my cheapie mascaras around. Thanks for the review!
