REVIEW: Lancome Color Ideal Pressed Powder, Foundation & Concealer

Lancome Color Ideal Pressed Powder


Price: A bit on the expensive side, 2/5
Packaging: Beautiful, elegant & practical, 5/5
Product: A nice range of colours to suit a varity of skin shades. I personally found this product to be a bit drying, and it broke me out a bit.
Repurchase? No

































Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Liquid Foundation









Price: a bit exy, 2/5


Packaging: Love love! Elegant, glass bottle with pump! Hygenic! A plus!



Product: You get 30mL, it's oil-free & the shades are great - I got a perfect match with the 2nd lightest shade. However, it broke me out in one application. I returned it to the store.





Repurchase? No






















Lancome EffacernesWaterproof Protective Undereye Concealer



Price: a bit exy, 2/5

Packaging: Great - you only squeeze out how much you need - no dipping your fingers into it! Hygenic!

Product: Like with the other Lancome products, this broke me out - nothing major though - just a few spots here and there. I tried this concealer several time in an attempt to get my skin to like it though - bit it just accentuated my dry areas on my face - not good! I do like how it says it is waterproof.

OVERAL VERDICT:
I have sensitive, acne-prone, combination skin - so dry in some areas and oily in others (my T-zone).
But if you have normal or oily skin these may work for you.
Also, if you d not have sensitive skin!



These three products are definately misses for me! :(



Have you tried Lancome products before? Have they worked for you?

REVIEW: Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer

Hi all!

I tried this product out a few weeks ago because I need a concealer. Was this a hit or miss?

For pics & swatches, I have a seperate post here of shade: Ivory Light 2-3.5


.

Source: http://www.maybelline.co.uk/PRODUCTS/Face/CONCEALER/Dream_Mousse_Concealer/medias/Dream-Mousse-Concealer_open.jpg

Texture: Smooth but weird...

Too dry for me though - I have combination skin - dry on the cheeks & oily on the forehead, nose & chin.

This makes my dry areas stand out - doesn't last long and looks fake on me.

Doesn't cover well for me because within hours it fades.

I purchased the lighest shade available, and it suited my skin tone. That is about the only positive thing about it. Also, the packaging is good too - I quite like it. :) But the product is not suitable for my skin (acne prone, combination & sensitive).

So...

This was... a MISS!

:(

So I will continue to use Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Double Face Perfector reviewed HERE. I have repurchased this serveral times, however. it doesn't seem to last long - and I don't wear makeup everyday either! I don't have much product left on the concealer end after 1 month of usage. So I am on the search for another concealer!

What do you think of Maybelline Dream Mousse concealer? Have you tried it? What did you think?

What is your favourite concealer of the moment?

REVIEW: Coastal Scents Camo Quad - Light

So... as soon as I saw AllThatGlitters21 on YouTube do a review on these Coastal Scents concealers, I jumped on their website to check it out. I also wanted the colourful colour-correcter one, but they were OUT OF STOCK... I've looked back so many times but they still haven't seemed to restock! :( Boo!

Anyways... so I got the Camo Quad concealer palette in LIGHT.

As you can see I have used it... :)

PACKAGING

3/5

- Average packaging, seem sturdy enough but not sure...

- I like that the lid is clear - that way I can see inside lol

- I'm not wowed by it, but I think I prefer tube concealers... although they are never as creamy and opaque as these ones are...

PRICE

4/5

- Under US$10.00

- The international shipping charges are a bummer though... I wish they offered free shipping!

- I didn't have any discount codes so I got these full price, but the price isn't that bad now isn't it, so I'm okay with it! Lol. :)

PRODUCT

3/5

- Very opaque and very creamy

- Wears off within a few hours :(

- I'm not sure what to do with the white? Can anyone tell me? I tried it and it looks too white on me... it doesn't really blend into my skin colour!

- Great texture but I wish it had better staying power on me.

Has anyone else tried these yet? How do you like it?

Do you like the colour correcter one Coastal Scents also has? Would you recommend that?

REVIEW: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Double Face Perfector

PACKAGING

3/5

- 2.7mL of concealer

- 2.7mL of highlighter

- Convenient packaging - both concealer and highlighter in the one product, however, after a while it gets a bit messy

- I would prefer if the packaging was see-through so that I could see how much I have left

- The words have smudged off on mine, as you can see, but that's just due to lots of usage!

SHADE

5/5

- I got light, but I also have light/medium, and I can honestly say I can't notice the different between the two shades, however, both shades match me so 5/5!

The concealer end - doe tipped applicator.

The highlighter end - brush like applicator.

Top - concealer

Bottom - lighlighter

PERFORMANCE

3/5

The concealer end isn't as good as Maybelline's Mineral Power concealer, which I will do a review on soon, not as opaque, however, it is very similar in consistency. I prefer the Mineral Power concealer of this concealer. This concealer is good to layer, but is not the best concealer I've tried.

The highlighter end I love! I wish Maybelline made a product with only this end! I would totally buy it! Love love. I use this under my eyebrows to brighten up the area and I believe it makes me look more awake! But I believe, a lighter-than-your-skin-colour coloured foundation would work as a highlighter as well.

PRICE

4/5

- Under AU$20.00 for a total of 5.4ml

- Like all other Maybelline products this is affordable and pretty much everyone has access to it.

- Not discontinued.
