Lancome Love - Page 2

I've recently purchased some Lancome Ombre Absolue Mono eyeshadows, and I love them!

The pigmentation's not as great as other brands I've tried, but the texture, color, and crease-proof wear are spot on.

The tiny flower imprint on the shadow is also a nice, classy touch.

I only own one Lancome blush in Miel Glace, but it is a well-loved color.

I always end up neglecting Lancome, but I love their blushes (particularly Butterflies Fever from the Spring) and their matte lipsticks are probably my favourite matte formula on the market (head to head against Chanel's new "Rouge Allure Velvet" pending).

FYI, Lancome fans. Early in 2012, they'll be launching a new lipstick formula called "Rouge in Love" in 24 shades. It's supposed to "melt into lips", leaving a lot of pigment and a satiny shine. The colours overall seem geared towards a younger crowd than some of Lancome's other products and features new spokesmodel Emma Watson.

The collection is divided into three parts based around the different times of day in the life of a busy young starlet. Not sure about US pricing, but they'll be $30 Canadian. That's slightly higher than their existing lipsticks, but not by much.

Oh, that sounds interesting, if out of my 'age range' .  I'll have to break my starlet wardrobe out of the mothballs!

I just purchased Fleur de Lis. More of a spring color, but pretty nonetheless.

More wonderful new lip formulas!

Yay! I'm looking forward to the new lipsticks.

More details on the three colour "families". Although the lipstick is being presented as "youthful", I think that there will be plenty of colours for all...

Jolis Matins: Fresh and light shades, tone-on-tone pearl particles for sheer effet.
Boudoir Time: Fun and flashy shades, more pigmented.
Tonight is my Night: Deep and intense shades, golden pearl particles for a more opaque finish.

Well, I know where I'll be on Jan 1st (online checking THIS collection out!) - LOVE the highlighter, pink lippies are always a possibility, and the mint green gloss is quite intriguing!

Wow. I don't think I could get away with the quad (although I imagine it would look stunning on dark-eyed lovelies) but those lipsticks are a possibility and OMG that BLUSH. I have to admit that their Spring blush last year remains one of my absolute favourites. Beautiful light cool pink. This one looks like the the softer sister of that one. MUST HAVE.

As usual, I missed out on that one.....but I will not miss this one!  Too beautiful!

I was eyeing up the lipsticks and glosses in House Of Fraser the other day, and had it in mind to go back for some.  Reading from that link, though, it says that the glosses have lavender in them!  Do they really smell of lavender?  If they do, that sucks - I hate the smell of it.  Do the lipsticks have any discernible scent?

Hi Rockin', just saw your post.  The lipsticks are definitely scented, but no taste for me.  It is a rose water scent, which I actually really like, and the formula is usually really great on the glosses, but to be honest, for 1/3 of the price, the L'oreal glosses are just as good.  If you want to splurge (or occasionally get the GWP as I love to do with Lancome) their gloss is a good bet to buy and I usually love their colors/pigmentation.  I don't think the L'oreal gloss is as scented and the Lancome ones.

I lurves the lipsticks as well, very, very moisturizing. 

L'oreal is the sister brand to Lancome and their glosses are very similiar, as are the foundations for less money.  I love the Lancome foundations, and loved their TM before they d/c'd it.  I was really disappointed when they did that.  You do have to be sure you check ingredients with Lancome to get a foundation with good UVA protection, but I find myself going back again and again to Lancome or L'oreal for foundation because the texture is divine.

Anybody tried these new gel liners from Lancome?  I can always check MUA for a review, but I love the advise I get here on Specktra the best.

I swatch the green gloss and, unfortunately, it's pretty much a sheer gloss. You can see the pigment in the tube but not in use. It's way sheerer than the blue or green glosses Mac has released. Looks nice enough, but I can get a pretty clear gloss basically anywhere.

hey Kate, I was wondering, have you tried it over lipsticks? I never have tried blue or green glosses but heard that they are not pigmented on their own and will change the undertones of lipsticks. Just curious if this is true...

hi

just wondering if anyone has tried visionaire by lancome?

Hi aradhana,

Yes I have tried it, it is a lightweight serum. I sent you a message with a link to my in depth review.

hi mjacqueline

thanks! i read your review...i may check out the serum next time i'm purchasing skincare!

I just picked up three of the Lancome Rouge in Love and I loooooove them! The colours are so beautiful and pigmented and go on so creamy! I think I found my new fave lipstick!!

I was not that impressed.

Yes Shadowy Lady, it's a pretty collection. Lipsticks are not so pigmented I think but they're quite elegant. I prefer Nars ( very beautiful pigments to me ), but Lancôme " rouges and vernis in love " are perfect for young women.

Sexy Sadie, no it's not that impressive but this brand new collection is ok compared to other products from Lancôme.

I did not like them, back to Chanel.

Has anyone tried new Vernis in love?

Yes Nars lipsticks are def got more pigmented but I tend to get bored with one brand so I need a good varieties and finishes all the time :D Rouge in Love is very translucent (and elegant as you mentioned) which I like this time of the year. I still like Nars, Guerlain and Chanel too but Lancome has now gained a special place in my heart at least as far as their lipsticks go

No but I really want to! Especially Corail in Love to match my Corail in Love l/s :D

Yes I tried the Vernis in Love in " Gris Angora ". Compared to Nars, the new YSL Vernithèque ( amazing ) or Chanel, clearly it's bad. But it's not so bad compared to the older version of Lancôme nail polishes which were horrible and not classy at all. Lancôme belongs to L'Oréal and it shows... So when I say classy, it's always compared to what existed before. The Rouges in Love are elegant, colours are pretty but honestly, Guerlain, M.A.C, Nars or Chanel are far much better in terms of pigments.

Chantecaille looks really classy but here it is not available, what a pity because that's what I call classy.

this is the first bad review i've heard on the new ones. i heard so many good things about the texture, wide brush etc...

http://makeupmagpie.blogspot.com/2012/03/lancome-vernis-in-love.html

I bought " Gris Angora " myself... I just said Lancôme belonged to l'Oréal ( along with many other brands ). This collection is not bad, even budget compared to Chanel or others but I do prefer Nars, and other brands. Lancôme used to be a great brand many years ago, now it's a bit different.

I agree..I just bought one and I want more!!

These new lippies have a great texture, and they do last pretty long.

I've used Lancome off and on since the late 1980's.

Tresor is my absolute favorite fragrance and I love their skincare.

It's been fun watching the line evolve over the years!

I just discovered the Teint Idole Ultra 24hr and it is now my absolute favorite foundation!

I have given up on MAC's foundations.  They are either too orangey or dark for me.

Lancome it is!

Ahh, I've been dying to try this foundation! My skin is always so crazy in the summer (boo combo/oily skin!) and I'd in desperate need of a long wearing foundation that has a decent shade range and can help keep my oiliness at bay. 

It sounds like I should be checking out Teint Idole Ultra instead of Teint Miracle, right? Thanks!

if you are oily teint miracle is not for you
