Lancome Love

[Bronwyn]

I love the middle shade the most. the left shade is very cool toned neutral bronzer great for contour and the right one is goldish highlighter texture of the trios is 10 times better than any lancome single blush  I found my swatch This one is also pretty if you like pinks - it's framboise flirt 

That's good to know about the texture. The pink one is quite nice

Lancome is a hit or miss for me - I have some products, which I love and some, which I hate. I adore the Moonlight rose highlighter, the Rose desir blush and the liquid lipsticks. I also like the L'Absolu Nu lipsticks - they smell amazing. I bought a NP recently and I'm really impressed - I'll definitely buy more.
I also have the pink blush from the spring 2013? collection - the one with pink cardboard packaging and Emma Watson as a face. I haven't used it much but I've noticed that all of the eyeshadows + some eyeliners and NPs have been present in every single sale ever since (alongside the Alber Elbaz collection)
I absolutely hated the mascaras I've tried - Hypnose and Hypnose Star. I know a lot of people swear by them but my lashes are quite short and not very thick and these mascaras did nothing to improve that. I got a sample of the Teint Idole ultra foundation last month - it was too drying for me. I'm also not a fan of Bi-facil.
The products I didn't like are not necessarily bad, they're just not for me, so I'd try more of them!

I am so sad to hear that about Hypnose. I truly believe it is the best mascara on the market.



Cils booster i can't live without since it lifts my lashes and makes them look more voluminous


Bifacil is almost legendary - everyone needs it. If you wear heavy eye makeup or mascara nothing removes like it.

Blush trio nectar lace is the most beautiful peachy coral blush I have ever tried




Their micellar cleansing water is phenomenal, I know we already mentioned it hear. Gelate confort is great milky cleanser for normal, dry and aging skin and SMELLS SO GOOD!


Eyeliners - old artliner version is my HG when it comes to liquid eyeliner. Newer version I do not like it is so sheer and goes on streaky.


Khol pencil eyeliners are great for waterline, they really stay on!



foundations:

Teint idole for full coverage, oil control and it doesn't budge. Very long wearing.

Teint visionnaire *=- medium coverage, beautiful satin finish. Poor selection of lighter shades. I can't find shade for myself but if I could this could have been my HG

Teint miracle - I truly believe this is the best foundation on the market for normal/dry skin. Medium coverage but very buildable to medium/full. Glowy but not oily looking finish. I have gone trough two bottles of this and whenever I try other foundations I keep coming back to this one. Love wearing it with Meteroties on top. Super glowy!

New primers - hydra glow for normal and dry skin - pure love. I use it under different foundations and it just gives enough hydration without any shimmer just natural healthy glow. Pore minimizing one is actually better than smashbox or benefit since it's not so thick. It feels so lightweight and it doesn't dry out the skin.



Nail polishes I probably have every single color released and they are side by side with dior on quality and on easiness of application.

Creme radiance cleanser is the best cleanser i've tried for normal and combination skin. Lasts forever. I am on my third tube. Does amazing job brightening up the skin. Leaves skin very clean but without drying it out.


Lancome is very famous for their serums. They are all about serums and layering them. my favorite combo - visionnaire and genefique.

Genefique eye cream is my favorite from them - lightweight, but does really good job keeping eye area well moisturized and absorbs pretty quickly . good base for under concealer. does a bit of brightening too


Recently they came out with a lot of new blush shades that suit darker skin tones. ANd their foundation shade range is very extensive up to 30 shades for every skin tone.

 

[Monsy]

Oh yes and their fragrances

Hypnose is one of the most unique scents I have tried. I noticed in the usa mostly european women buy lancome fragrances. La vie est belle is more delicious and sweeter version of Flowerbomb. Miracle is soft light but very long wearing - very underrated. O d'azur is very fresh summer scent great for the beach vacation.

You have amazing eyelashes! Hypnose does not look like that on me at all!
I've tried Bi-facil a few times but I don't like it - it stings my eyes and it's a bit messy. I prefer Bioderma - it removes everything and sometimes I wear very heavy eye makeup.
I have a skin care samples (GWP) but I haven't used them yet.

I forgot about the fragrances - La vie est belle is in the top 3 of my favourite perfumes ever! I want to the try the L'Absolu version. And it really might be European women's favourite - I smell it everywhere! I don't like the other fragrances I've tried except from what I believe is the newest one - La Nuit Tresor.

 

[Monsy]

Yes I've had a feeling La vie est belle you can smell everywhere in EU

Area I work and live in is majorly European and clientel that buys Lancome fragrances is 80% european if not more

I forgot to mention Tresor midnight rose - if you like La vie est belle you might like this too . It's not so sweet but it is more like fruity sweet but very delicious and seductive. It has young vibe .At stays on very long.

I can't do stuff like bioderma on my eyes it doesn't remove anything. But I like cleansing waters for my face.

I think I haven't tried it, I looked it up - I love the combination of roses and raspberries, so I'm putting it on my list. The new Tresor is very similar to La vie est belle. I tried it on an airport and I didn't have much time, I think it's not available in the stores yet.

 

[Monsy]

I haven't seen new tresor in US I don't even know if it will launch here. For example tresor absolu never arrived in the usa.

I am very excited about the new lipsticks

I saw these on the airport too but I didn't try them because I don't really like sheer balmy lipsticks.

 

[Monsy]

They are surprisingly not so sheer. I have only tried one color. I like sheer lip color and they have to be moisturizing since I have very dry lips

 

[Howards End]

I absolutely love Lancome's SPF 50 sunscreen for the face! Very expensive but I see it as an anti aging treatment, and it doesn't break me out no matter how much I slather it on lol. I love that it dries to a powdery finish (perfect for my oily skin), and doesn't give me a white cast. I was going to buy their sunscreen for the eye area but sadly it seems to have been discontinued

 

[Monsy]

Bienfait for around the eyes with spf is still available

and you are right their SPF50 is amazing. I used it last summer and I just pulled it out today. Spreads easily feels so lightweight on skin.

 

[Monsy]

Artliner in Noir (old version)

 

[Howards End]

Did Artliner change? It used to be my HG then I switched to Pixi Lash Line Ink and now I'm waiting to try the new one MAC has coming out (Rebel Eyes?) Cils Booster looks amazing, maybe I'll just get that instead of the Sheseido!

 

[Monsy]

They have new line of artliners but they still sell the old version.

old

new ones are so sheer go on streaky you need to layer it to get the opaque color. total miss. I still use and will continue to use the old version in Noir/black

 

[Howards End]

Thanks! I definitely need a new bottle of sunscreen lol, I will definitely pick up Beinfait SPF for eyes as well

 

[perfectscorpio]

subbed!

 

[Howards End]

Lol just picked up my Lancôme sunscreen, price jacked up to $39 from 35, oh well lol it's worth it. Wanted to get the sunscreen for the eyes but that will have to wait lol

 

[SandraVB79]

I try to buy all my Lancome products in the US because it's way cheaper in the US than in Europe (+ great GWP in the US!) probably all other European women do the exact same thing, that's why it seems some perfumes are "only" bought by us, lol.

That is true! I work in very european area and they buy lancome like crazy. Not just fragrances but makeup too
