Lovin Lancome!
I wandered into Macy's the other day and low and behold but where do you think I ended up? That's right in my favorite place to get lost-the makeup section. I was on the hunt for some type of foundation. I normally never wear foundation, but as I get older I wanted to have something on hand in case I needed a little extra Va Va Voom. The thought of a really heavy foundation on my combination skin sounded incredibly unappealing. I despise a heavy foundation base on anyone. It looks unnatural and often ages women.So with that in mind I wandered over to the Lancome counter and had a lengthy chat with the Lancome make up consultant. She was able to provide me with a run down of all the different foundation, concealer, and powder options. I told her that I was also curious about BB creams. She told me that Lancome carries a BB cream called Bienfait Teinte Beauty Balm Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30. I asked her what the benefits of a BB cream are compared to other types of cover ups. The consultant explained that a BB cream is a multitasking product which hydrates, protects, and evens out skin tones. BB creams are great for all skin types, and provide you with your daily source of vitamin enriched hydration. When she tested the BB cream on my face I immediately noticed how light, flawless, and natural it looked all while camouflaging problem areas of my skin. I was immediately sold.
Next I talked to her about my large pores and how I notice that blush looks odd on my pores. I asked her what face primers Lancome carries, and she introduced me to La Base Pro Perfecting face primer. The instant this primer touched my skin I absolutely fell in love with the luxurious feeling it left on my skin. The primer glides on smoothly, and feels weightless. Even with the BB cream on top of it, it still felt great.
Lastly, I picked up the product that I truly love the most. The Blush Subtil Palette in #323-Rose Flush. The is a beautiful blush. Not only is the compact sleek and just the perfect size, but the colors inside radiate. The blush is broken up into three parts: Contour, Blush, and Highlighting. When all three are applied the final result looks natural, romantic, and downright lovely.
I am so in LOVE with my Lancome products. I know that there are other brands out there that are probably just as nice, and possibly even better but I have to tell you these 3 products have really upgraded my makeup look. And the best thing is Lancome has a fantastic return policy. My consultant time and time again encouraged me to apply and wear the make up during the week and if at any point and time I was unsatisfied to come back in for a full refund. How great is that?
And of course I am a total sucker for samples. And my make up consultant hooked me up! I am going to give these samples a good run and see if there is anything else from the Lancome line that I might need. Hope this review helps someone out there- Happy shopping!
