Lancome DRAMA LIQUI-PENCIL Review and Swatches on Medium Brown Skin

Like most women, I absolutely hate drama. So when Lancome let me know that they were sending over a bag full of Drama I was ready to turn Mary J Blige on and let them know there’d be no Drama in this here dance soiree. Of course, I completely changed my tune when I saw that the drama they sent over was actually a bag full of the new  Lancome Drama Liqui-Pencil in 16 gorgeous shades.
