It looks to contain aLancôme black volume mascara, a lipcolour, an eye shadow, lifting cream, eye makeup remover and a matching case and pouch.

I’ve had these little gifts with make-up purchases in the past, from various different brands. I really like getting them as you can sometimes find a super makeup item that you would never have found otherwise. For example, I got an excellent colour of Rimmel lipstick in one, which I loved and have bought ever since.

Also, the likes of the little mascaras are really handy for popping in your purse for a night out, or when you are travelling.

I was looking for a suitable image to illustrate this blog post, so I searched for Lancome on flikr. Some of the images that appeared were the advertising from Lancome, which looks really really really airbrushed. I recalled something I saw recently about an original method of grafitti, seen in the subway in Berlin – see the image I have pasted to the left. Here’s the “Photoshopped Subway Ads Get Exposed in Berlin” article on Gizmodo. I love it! It really makes a statement that the cosmetics ads are just photoshopped models, sculpted into unreality by the hand of a geek behind a PC monitor.
