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.

Wow I need that mint green gloss! I am going to be broke this spring!
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 aradhana,

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

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!!

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.

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.

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!
