A new addition to Lancome's selection of mascaras, the long awaited Hypnose Doll Eyes. Inspired by every young girl's dream to have separated, think, long, "nylon-shine" lashes, true doll lashes! It's innovative wand and all-new formula promise to make eyes look wide open up to 35% to achieve that "doll-lash look".


What really gives you that "doll-lash look" is the i-conical brush that took 7 years to perfect and is protected by a trio of patents. The brush tip is very different from the usual masacara brushes. Made from nylon with a conical brush tip enables it to capture every lash even the shortest corner-of-the-eyes ones. The idea is to sculpt and lengthen, creating a defined and perfectly separated lash fringe. It volumises without weighing down lashes, accompanied by uniform spinning and smooth, luxurious application, for a genuine “false doll-lash effect”.


The latest "Fiber Shine" formula is enriched with nylon powders to adorn lashes with a subtle sheen. It combines supple wax to build volume and hard wax to fix lash curvature. The "lash extension" effect comes from the "Ultrastretch" complex formulated around lengthening polymers. This mascara is smudge proof.

The review

Oh the brush! The 7 years Lancome spent on coming up with the conical brush shape hasn't gone to waste. It fits into my tiny eye space like a dream and I didn't even have to strain to widen my eyes. The bristles are short and dense making it so easy to coat each lash from root to tip. It captures the lashes at the corner with such ease. I finally found a mascara brush that can reach those lashes at the corner of my eyes! Yayy! The formula is smooth and glides onto the lashes without clumping. You might find that some product ends up at the tip but that can be easily swiped off at the rim of the tube.




Before I go on telling you guys what happens after I apply it, just to let you know I didn't curl my lashes nor did I use a mascara base before application. So here we go, with the first coat I noticed that my lashes looked visibly longer and fuller. My eyes instantly looked more open.

Upon applying the second coat my lashes look even longer, fuller and the curl is more defined. I'm amazed at how big my eyes look. It really opens up my eyes. It's as if have falsies on. The best part is even after two coats my lashes don't feel stiff and heavy, they still feel natural and looks naturally long and thick. I also noticed a slight sheen.

To complete the Dolly Look, I applied  mascara to my bottom lashes (as photo above) which was also a breeze. When applying to the bottom lashes, hold the wand vertically and apply with the tip. That gives you that dolly 'V' look which looks so pretty.


The longest I had Doll Eyes Mascara on was for 10 hours. Apart from my eyes looking tired which I only have myself to blame, I did not experience any product fall out or smudging. It looked like it did when I applied it in the morning. Removing it is really easy. I use my usual eye makeup remover and it slides off almost instantly. However this depends on how many coats you put on. I experienced no lash fall out while removing.

Doll Eyes comes in an ever chic black tube designed with curves and adorned with roses which gives it that feminine touch. Lurv how Lancome paid attention to that tiny detail. The pleasant surprise was the scent when I opened the tube. It was a whiff of soft floral which I rather like. But if you are one you doesn't really fancy scented mascaras then you might have a bit of a problem with this one.


Overall I feel Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara delivered the "doll-lash" look on my lashes brilliantly well. Was never really one for falsies because I found it such a bother trying to put it on. Now I'm not even going to try. This one is a definite must have!



Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara retails at RM95 and is now available at Lancome counters.


Here's a teaser of what's coming up tomorrow, as though you can't already guess *sniggers*. My review of Lancome's Hypnose Doll Eyes. Not that you guys don't already know how it looks like on my lashes. *winks* It'll be a breakdown on what I think of it. Lurv a challenge when it comes to looking for a mascara that will open up my eyes and make my lashes look seriously lush. À demain!


I have been raving about Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara to no end since January and I have been wondering myself when will we be graced with its presence at Lancome counters here. Well it's finally here and to make it an even more exciting Lancome threw a Bloggers Party at Thimble Boutique over the weekend.

With Sandra (owner of Thimble), Traclyn, Jean, Me, Amanda (of Lancome)


I'm pretty sure you know what the Lancome Doll Eyes look is all about by now. If not let me fill you in, it's all about the "doll-lash" effect without the falsies. Instead, creating it with the touch of a mascara. Your eyes will appear so big all you need to do is bat your lashes to make heads turn. No really that's just my interpretation of it. The first name that came to mind when I saw the promo photos for Doll Eyes was Twiggy. Yeah the 60's fashion icon. Come on, those eyes are unforgettable.

The pairing with Thimble, brainchild of Sandra and Ching, was only natural as they are all about being girly, chic with an elegant sophistication. It's been opened for about 6 months and they already have a following. The idea of the party was for each blogger to create an individual Dolly Look with makeup created by the Lancome team headed by Lancome National Makeup Artist Zamri. After which we had to pick an outfit that went with it. I picked a beautiful gold sequin top , can't seem to run away from shiny things lately, neutral coloured shorts and a leopard print headband to complete the look. Cameras ready, click away.

No girly party is complete without a sweet spread. There was homemade poppy seed muffin with cream cheese icing, scones and berry tart, by Sandra's and Ching's moms. How lucky are they to have moms who bake such delicious treats. I should have snuck some of the poppy seed muffins home with me, they were the star of the table filled with goodies.



I had loads of fun getting all dolled up and playing dress up with the girls! We sat around indulging in those yummy treats and catching up for quite a bit. I will also be posting more photos from this party as soon as I get my hands on them. I have more to share with you guys this week. So stay tuned. :)

I wanted to show you guys the colours Irene, Lancome's makeup artist used on me to get the Emma Watson look in Tresor Midnight Rose promo shots. I lurved how the focus was on the eyes. It looks sexy and sultry!


The two palettes used for the eyes are Secrets De Rose and Rose De Bonheur.The purples from Secrets De Rose reminds me of the ones from the Ultra-Lavande Warm Harmony Palette from Spring last year (Read here). Beautiful shades!

First apply the light purple shade from Secrets De Rose to the entire lid. Then take the dark purple from Secrets De Rose and apply it to the outer corner of the eyes. Blend. To get the purples to pop out more apply the brownish maroon from Rose De Bonhuer into the crease and blend. You will instantly see the colour look more intense.




Next line eyes with a liquid liner, used here is Lancome Artliner. Wait for it to dry then apply a khol liner in black to the lower waterline. Smudge a thin line of the dark purple from Secrets De Rose to the lower lash line.

 
To complete the eyes, Zamri, Lancome Malaysia's head makeup artist previewed the Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara. It can either be applied the normal way you apply a mascara or to get the "Doll Eyes" effect, Zamri used a technique unique to the Doll Eyes mascara brush to fan out the lashes. Instantly Kawaii!! Apply to upper and lower lash with two generous coats.
 


 
Since the focus is on the eyes, Irene applied Blush Subtil Rose in Rose Rose ever so lightly on my cheeks for a hint of colour. With a slick of L'Absolu Creme De Brilliance in 230, a pinkish beige shade, the Emma Watson look is complete!
 



 
With those eyes and lashes I should have tried batting them sexily to see if I can get anything I wanted. Lol! Well, there you go a look ready for a romantic and mischievous night on the town.
