Beauty products - Lancome Hypnose Noirs Perles
What does it promise to do?: 

It reinforces and densifies lashes with astounding volume, whilst separating them. Hypnôse Precious Cells is the first visibly regenerating mascara from Lancôme in two captivating glints: intense green and deep purple. Thanks to its Carbon Black pigments, Hypnôse Precious Cells is ideal for women coveting that perfect lash-by-lash result.   

Do we like?: 

Quite simply, this is one of the best mascaras ever. Lashes are lift and separated for full-on definition. The added colour is super subtle so if you're worried about looking like an eighties throw-back, don't be. It doesn't clump when applying, the final look is long, volumious lashes. And it lasts the day without flaking or smearing. If you haven't already, try this today, you won't regret it.
