I got a sample of this. I think the brush is pretty nice (flat tapered cone). The formula was really nice at first. It separated and lengthened, with good volume for one layer. There was too much product on the tip. But once it got thick, it became a nuisance. Too much product on the brush. I had to use a lash brush, which causes flaking, but the clumps! It also makes my eyelashes droop even though I curled them. It stays on the bottom lashes for about 4-5 hours before it starts to flake. The top lashes have minimal flaking, not a problem (I have oily eyes). Pretty much won't pay for the full size, it's not worth it in my opinion.

I have yet to use a mascara as great as this one! I always heard so much hype over Lancome mascaras in general but for some reason I did not believe them and just thought they must be overrated. Well, when I tried this one I immediately fell in love with it. It does not dry out quickly at all, which I noticed that other ones like The Falsies do. It does not clump my eyelashes together at all. They look amazing! It does not have fallout (unless you start rubbing your eyes or something of that nature). Even when you wash it off at night it does not leave a huge globby black mess all around your eyes since it just comes right off. Will definitely repurchase!

This is the best mascara I've used to date. I get length, volume, separation, curl. I apply the mascara first with the flat part of the brush for a few strokes then use the curved portion of the brush to lift the lashes out and up. It doesn't clump or smudge. Mega $$$ but maaaan, it works.

IN LOVE IN LOVE IN LOVE. You know how new mascara (mostly from the drug store) goes on clumpy, and too liquidy? THIS ONE DOESN'T! It doesn't clump AT ALL, but it gives your lashes a nice even thick look, in addition to lengthening. The packaging could not be any cooler, with the shimmery bottle. It's gorgeous! But, I'm sorry, $28 was a lil pricey. But, I guess it's worth it. /: (:

This is the best mascara that Lancome makes. It is much better than the other Hypnose mascaras. I love that it separates, volumizes, lengthens, curls and does not smudge, flake or clump. It is the best mascara that I have ever used!

This particular "star" is more "reality" material than oscar winner. Yes!!! Lancôme has done it again! All their Hypnose mascaras are dreadful and have these weird brushes that are really not user friendly. I got this as a gwp thank God. I hate the fact that you have to use the flat side first to expand and define lashes and then the rounded side to volumize. What a waiste of time that I don't have in the morning and the sad part is that to make this mascara look good I have to use another one over it. Seriously! If a mascara is going to cost over $30 it better deliver. I'll stick to my CoverGirl Lash Perfection (one brush that does it all, lengthen, volumize define, no clumps I might add) and my Maybelline The Falsies "Flared" the only good one that does the same.

I selected 1 in all the categories but if I could have I would pick 0 for this product.

I am a huge Lancôme mascara fan however I have really mixed feelings about this one. I don't really see thickening or lengthening. My lashes looks nice and separated when applied correctly, but its not easy to apply you need to use the flat side and turn the wand while applying to get the finished look and sometimes it looks spidery if not applied correctly. It wears wells and it doesn't flake or smear.

I got this as a sample at Sephora and I fell in love with it. Not too thick or too thin, no smudges and my lashes go right into place where I want them to go. a little expensive, which is why I took off one lippie,but this is my HG of mascaras

I'm surprised by the negative reviews. I love Lancome mascaras and this is yet another success for me. I think it even adds more volume than the Drama, and it covers the bottom lashes perfectly. Will buy again.

Dry flakey mess! Made my lashes look like spiders and rolled off in little balls onto my face throughout the day.
