Lancome's Luxe Lashes and Foundation!
The key to great make-up is to make sure you have the essentials down pat. Color is the icing on the cake but great skin and fabulous lashes make that cake work. They are the essential elements to a gorgeous look.
Lancome’s latest mascara will give you the long, long long lashes that will cause hearts to flutter (his, not yours) when you flutter your lashes.
Lancome’s L’Extreme Mascara does all that and more! The exclusve FibreStretch™ formula helps microscopic flexible, lush fibers to bind together and affix to your lashes. It offers a thicker and seriously longer lash, thus creating that lash extension effect.
This mascara features a patented Extreme lash brush with interwoven, angled bristles that work specifically with this formula to stretch and coat each lash from the base to the tip. This fab mascara has water-resistant waxes to prevent smudgng and ceramides and Pro Vitamin B5 to nourish and protect lashes while giving you longer lashes by up to 60%. Definitely an improvement in the mascara world (though I still love Hypnose), this is the perfect mascara for the holidays and saves you the cost and trouble of lash extentions! Don’t wait, buy both and layer them for the maximum effect in thicker longer lashes! Lancome L’Extreme Mascara ($22) is available in brown or black at all major department stores, Sephora.com and Lancome.com
For those with combination or oily skin, finding a foundation that would last all day without dissolving into an oily puddle or changing color has been a serious challenge. Nothing would last all day and you would need to do a make-up redo if you were going from work to evening event.
Lancome launches this brand new foundation Teint Idole Ultra –what Lancome says is the enduringly divine and comfortable makeup for 14 hour "re-touch free" make-up that’s oil-free! Wow!! sounds killer huh!
How does it do that?
1) innovation in color pigments. Pigments are treated with amino acids to stabilize and surround them with a film to make sure the foundation doesn’t migrate from your face to other surfaces. This way the color sticks to you-not your clothing!
2) Softfeel Technology creates a unique blend of airy powders, liquid powders and emollients that work together to create a cushion or pillow of makeup that’s gentle, non-drying and still doesn’t slide off your face. It creates a smoother foundation that has more dry-time before it "sticks".
Teint Idole Ultra has 17 shades (amazing!! from the palest to the darkest) with a soft matte finish and full coverage, you can wear this all day without smudging or sliding off your face and it won’t leave you the worse for wear. Your skin will not be the oil slick it typically is because of the amino acids and the breathable SoftFeel Technology.
This is a foundation you should definitely test drive–particularly in time for the holidays. Teint Idole Ultra is available at department stores everywhere, Sephora.com and lancome.com. It retails for $35.00.
If you have tried either of these Lancome products, please let me know what you think of them. I really want to know!
See you at the beauty counter!
