Early last week, I had the privilege of attending Lancôme Hypnôse Precious Cells Mascara mini launch event, many thanks to Sharon's extended invitation. I was super excited about this event, as I'm very much a self-confessed mascara addict! And, Lancôme mascaras never fail to impress (at least to me).
The primary focus was on Lancôme Hypnôse Precious Cells Mascara, while we had the chance to try out Lancôme Ombre Absolue Impact 3D Eyeshadow Palette range
Yummy sandwiches! :d~
Here's Celine, giving us the insight on Lancôme Hypnôse Precious Cells Mascara.
I think she's really pretty, don't ya think so? (:
Retails at $50. Available at all leading departmental stores.
Lancôme Hypnôse Precious Cells is the 1st mascara formula based on stem cell research.
A mascara which activates an immediate potential of lash regeneration.
Lash-by-lash volume and spectacular length, achieve visibly denser lashes for Asian eyelashes!
KEY INGREDIENTS:
- Lash Densifier Complex consists mainly of a precious plant cell extract, Malus domestica - already present in the cream formula of Absolue Precious Cells – which is capable of restoring the environment of stem cells in the lashes within the follicle.
- Madecassoside is a fortifying ingredient that is used to strengthen and thicken the hair, commonly used in hair-loss products. Its anti-inflammatory properties help to absorb micro-irritation so as to extend the life of lash follicles.
- Arginine, a type of amino acid known of its nourishing properties, can help to stimulate micro-circulation of nutrients within the follicle so as to re-densify lash fibres.
- Hyaluronic Acid also present to give an instant plumping effect for a lash by lash, voluptuous curve.
How to apply: Place the brush on the lash fringe. Let the flat side of the brush glide over the lashes from root to tip in a zigzag movement.
After 5 seconds, reapply to boost the volume result.
A high-tech brush for an ideal lash-by-lash volume.
Designed exclusively for Asian lashes, a unique helix-shaped structure which has two flat sections to generously capture the formula and bathe lashes in its fortifying virtues; and two structured ridges for optimal lash fringe definition, magnified volume and spectacular lengthening.
Perfectly coated from root to tip, lashes are immediately amplified and separated for maximum volume at the lash fringe.
For flawless application, position the helix-shaped brush with the lash fringe, moving from the roots to the tips for perfectly separated, amplified lashes.

Here's the goodie bag (to be unveiled later).. :D
Contrary to belief, Lancôme's eyeshadow palette are judged as the boring neutral and smokey colors. That's not exactly true. I've the Lancôme Color Focus Palette 4 Ombres in 100 OZ which was a favorite of mine years back.
I'll try to find it and take a photo of it. Time to re-organize my makeup stash! :x
Lancôme Ombre Absolue Impact 3D
This new all-in-one palette from Lancôme, comes with ultra-smooth and creamy powder combined with sparkles to create a range of makeup looks with intense luminousity.
Create a multi-dimensional captivating gaze to reveal wide expressive eyes using the S-way application with this 5-shade palette.
Simply layer shades one by one to add depth to eyelids for a three-dimensional look.
NEW COLORS!
B10 Voute du Ciel
The eyeshadows are on the sheer side, which I think an eye primer is essential to bring out the colors (if you prefer stronger vibrant colors). I particularly like the liner shade which is a pretty dark blue with micro-shimmers.
A30 Papillon Violette
This is a gorgeous purple palette! I like the violet color (right in the middle) as well as the liner shade (dark purple with micro-shimmers).
OTHER COLORS!
I also noticed that the liner shades for the new colors are more smooth in texture whereas the "not-so-new" ones are more powdery (with the exception of green one).
My favorites? Purple-Green-Blue!

On the event day itself, I did try out the Lancôme Hypnôse Precious Cells Mascara in a haste.
I applied 2 coats of mascara on my top lashes, without curling 'em prior the application. The mascara does help to curl and lengthen my lashes naturally.
My lashes are not THAT volumized as seen from the photos above. It is a true black mascara which I really like (based on 1st impression).
My 2nd time using the mascara. This time, I applied 3 coats and curled my lashes prior application.
I place the brush on my lash fringe, slowly wriggling upwards and outwards for "fanned out" lashes. This zig-zag motion can help to deposit more mascara on your lashes and separate 'em beautifully. To help the curls hold better, stop the brush at the tip of lash for few secs when doing the zig-zag motion.
I find that it is good for defining the bottom lashes.
It is very easy to remove. Just warm water will do!
LIKES:
- long-lasting & smudge-resistant
- lengthens & defines lashes well
- true black color
- easy to remove
- dries fast and doesn't flake
- no weird scent
DISLIKES:
- slightly clumpy
- the bristles are kinda pokey on the eyes
IMO, it's great at lengthening and defining the lashes effortlessly. Good for day use. If you love natural-looking lashes, this is definitely THE ONE.
If you love fuller dramatic lashes, this doesn't cut it. Well, a lash primer might just do the trick.
