I bought this last summer. I'm on the fence about it. The experience was fun though.

Oooooh, interesting! I recently read an article about the whole thing - why are you on the fence about it? I'd love to hear about your experience. Where did you do it?

I was busy and missed the "rose". Well, I'll live.

I did it at Tysons Corner, VA. I think that was the name of the mall. I'm on the fence because I think it may be too light. After the machine mixes it, you can adjust it one time. I thought it was okay because it was summer and I would get lighter. But I'm not really sure if it is too light or it is the finish that is wrong for me. I got the medium finish but I almost always buy sheer. I thought it was time for medium since I was using so much concealer on some old break out spots. I kind of had the same experience with the Nars. The fuller coverage was just strange to my eye and I thought it was too light. The Nars MAs showed me how to sheer it out and the color looked okay. The thing is, the day after I bought it, I broke out like crazy and had to stop wearing makeup for over a week. I'm not convinced that it was the makeup. It looked kind of like a heat rash. But being that it was summer and light, I wasn't in a rush to use it again. I don't know maybe now is a good time to try it again.

I'd like to see Lancome get a little update.
I dislike the silver box for the mascaras and the rose highlighter looks a little cheap to me (eta)- instead of vintage. Too bad because the idea is nice, especially with the new Beauty and the Beast film coming out.

I watched a few YouTube videos of people taking the whole thing apart and it did seem cheaply made with very little actual product

I was surprised the Crayon Miracle only comes in white, was expecting some flesh tones for the waterline
Oh well I still like Cils Booster

Oh! :/ It's too bad. It was a cute idea.
Might look at one of the videos to see how it looks deconstructed.

Yeah I watched a video of the Lancome Rose being destroyed and then I watched one of the MAC Mariah My Mimi being destroyed. Made me appreciate the value of what you're getting in the Mimi product versus the cheap DIY quality of the Rose product.

It really is too bad.
And we have to weigh all these variables because it's our hard earned money at risk lol

Beauty News on YouTube have a series called The Makeup Breakup and as it suggests they break up products and weigh them to see if companies are truthful etc, and they always fix the products so they're not wasteful.
They did a video on the highlighter:
THE MAKEUP BREAKUP - Destroying, weighing & pressing the Lancome La Rose A Poudrer - YouTube
basically they pressed the highlighter and it didn't even fill a regular sized eyeshadow pan!

Wow, I love the first two! I would buy them in an instant! They have a new highlighter, called Click & Glow, which I might get if it comes out here.
I love #1 and #3.
