The 5 Best Lancome Products

1) Definicils High Definition Mascara

Lancome Defincils mascara has been a number one seller for Lancome for over ten years. It includes a patented brush, featuring tightly packed bristles on one side, and widely spaced bristles on the opposite side. This allows for superior separation and shaping. Each lash is coated from base to tip, giving the lashes lovely definition. It is fragrance free, and opthamologist tested, so it’s great for people with sensitive eyes, or those who wear contact lenses. Definicils High Definition Mascara is available in the following shades: brown, deep brown, black, and deep black.

2) Bi-Facil Double Action Eye Makeup Remover

I recently declared Bi-Facil the Best Eye Makeup Remover Ever, after it took lipstick out of my carpet. Even your shiniest shadows,waterproof mascara, and hard to remove eyeliner can be washed away with Bi-Facil Double Action Eye makeup remover. The unique formula is activated by shaking the bottle. It’s gentle on the skin, and leaves no oily residue behind. Safe enough for sensitive eyes, this is the product to relieve you of the day’s smoky eye. I regularly use it to remove product swatches from my arms and can verify that it easily removes just about anything. I’m still waiting to find something that Bi-facil can’t easily wipe off!

3) Tresor Eau De Parfum Spray

Tresor is the iconic Lancome fragrance. It’s a classic scent, characterized by the fruity notes of apricot and peach, as well as notes of musk and rose. It usually gets rave reviews from customers, some of whom have been wearing it for years and still love it.

4) Juicy Tubes Lip Glosses

Super shiny and glamorous, these lip glosses are popular among Lancome customers. A set of six colors is reasonably priced, especially considering the quality and variety of colors you get. Two different sets are available. One set is the Shimmering Pinks, including colors like ‘Pink Bling’ and ‘Raspberry Ice’. The other set is the Shimmering Warms, which includes shades ‘Fifth Avenue Frosting’ and ‘Rose Quartz’.

5) Nutrix’ Royal Body Cream

Extremely dry skin can be banished with this thick, rich cream. The patented formula contains Royal Jelly, which helps the skin build up its own supply of moisture retaining lipids. Harsh climate and temperature changes are no match for this advance formula, which will leave you skin soft, smooth, and hydrated. In Lancome reviews, customers rave that it’s light, not greasy, and has a barely there fragrance.

About the Author: Carleen Pruess Coulter

You know how dolls always have super long, curled, and ultra defined lashes? It isn’t hard to look at a porcelain doll and suffer some serious lash envy! So, what did Lancôme do about it? They went and formulated a mascara inspired by dolls in order to recreate that big lash, wide-eyed look. They also are running a fun Facebook application where you can upload a photo and create and makeup your own doll.

Lancôme has long been one of my favorite brands for mascara. Their various offerings in the Hypnose line have always been quality items that provided good volume, length, and/or definition depending on the formulation.

I was provided with a sample of the new Lancôme Hypnose Doll Lashes to try. The brush with this one is a bit unique. It starts out thick at the base and tapers to a point at the top. This makes it quite easy to get into the corners of your eyes with the mascara and to get nice definition on the lower lashes as well. It also does a nice job of creating volume at the base of the lashes. However, what I noticed most when using Lancôme Hypnose Doll Lashes was the length and definition. This mascara creates long lashes with a high amount of definition. I also noted some decent curl, which is a bonus, even though I always recommend curling your lashes before applying mascara for the best effect. Do be sure to wipe the brush with a bit of tissue before using this one, as the corner of the brush can pick up extra product when it is removed from the tube. Overall, I think Lancôme did a nice job with this new mascara, especially in regard to formulating a product that can recreate that doll type of look.

In connection with the new mascara, Lancôme has also released a fun Facebook app where you can create your own doll using a personal photo and then can apply lashes and makeup, change her dress, or change her attitude. Here is mine. I don’t know that she looks all that much like me, but she does have my eyes, is rather cute, and I enjoyed making her. I love her attitudes!

The 1st Doll Lash Look by Lancôme: a volumized, full lash fringe for a wide-eye look. Lancôme’s most flirtatious mascara lifts, thickens and precisely defines even hard-to-reach corners and lower lashes beautifully.
