Last month while I was in New York with my fellow Daily Makeover Beauty Bloggerati members, we stopped by the Lancôme Boutique on Columbus Avenue for some cupcakes and fun with the Lancôme beauty team.

While I was there, I had an opportunity to preview a ton of gorgeous new Lancôme products and witness superstar makeup artist Sandy Linter in action. Here she is (below) applying makeup to my friend Annie from The Jet Set Girls:

I left the boutique with a sample of the new Lancôme Hypnose DRAMA mascara and I have to say, next to Latisse, this is the best damn thing that’s happened to my lashes ALL YEAR.

Lancôme Hypnose DRAMA gives me huge, thick, false-looking lashes without clumping or flaking. The brush is curved into an ‘S’ shape to help grab even the tiniest lashes, and the formula features highly saturated waxes and intense black pigments for maximum lash volume.

AND, here’s the best part: Lancôme Hypnose DRAMA doesn’t unfurl my curl (longtime readers know that me and my Asian lashes have issues with keeping the curl) and it washes off with soap and water.

I can’t even believe my good fortune!

Lancôme Hypnose DRAMA is currently available only at Sephora for $24.50.
