Product Review | Lancome Teint Miracle Foundation

Hey gorg ones!
Hope you guys had a fun weekend?
I'm glad I don't have to answer that question, Cause honestly, I don't how the weekend disappeared.

Thought to review this foundation, used it long enough to express how I feel about it,
So yeah, The Lancome teint miracle is popular for having a dewy finish (I'm a sucker for dewy skin) and gives your skin a healthy glow while offering a light coverage.






That's what the packaging looks like. Pretty decent!
I mean! It looks expensive (well it is, no doubt).

I don't wear foundation everyday but trust me, those days I decide to? This has come to stay.
If you're like me that tends to feel the slightest things and easily gets uncomfortable, you'll love this foundation.
It's pretty much light , like really really light and it's oil-free.
Has SPF 5 (that's a plus) and it leaves a really light glowy finish.
If i had just a word to describe this foundation, I'll call it "skin".



Has a pump, comes out in decent quantity so there's really no fear about waste.




This foundation doesn't block pores. |I didn't experience any breakouts whatsoever.
It’s not too heavy but build-able, perfect for everyday makeup.
Would I buy this foundation again? YES I will.
Probably wont be the only one I have to use but when I want a skin-like natural finish, I know which product to reach out for.

I'm in the shade "12" and I believe they have up to a LUPITA lol! My friend is slightly darker than 
I am and she got a "13". I believe their brand ambassador LUPITA would be a "15".

And yeah! It doesn't smell bad at all. You'll have to be sniffing for a scent actually to even notice. The scent I can't describe but not harsh at all.


Cons

  • If you look clearly into my pictures, you'll see a chipped part of the bottle. If you're clumsy like me, you want to be careful.
  • It's Pricey yo! If you're on a budget please look elsewhere! Lol! 
  • It shifts when it's really hot (well most foundations move under the sun).

Pros

  • Natural dewy finish
  • Build-able to medium coverage
  • Has SPF
  • Oil free
  • Decent packaging, looks like a high end perfume package
  • Long lasting in cool environments
  • Wide colour range, you'll definitely find your shade
  • Non-comedogenic 

The Lancome Teint Idole is carried by ESSENZA, ESSENZA carries other high end makeup brands and they are located at Palms Shopping Mall, Ikeja City Mall.
Currently retails for N10,100.

Review! Shany Cosmetics 180 palette

Hello everyone! :D
I know I'm probably the most inconsistent beauty blogger ever LOL! Sorry! (as usual) 

Yeah!
So i think i'm doing this review out of small annoyance -______- LOL!
There's nothing more annoying than dropped expectations *sobs*


Oh well!
I got this my Shany 180 palette some months back, (from a student whose sister sent them from the US) was still in makeup school and of cause i couldn't wait to lay my hands on it! 

What i said on I.G the when i got it lol!

Lol! The caption!

The middle palette,detachable..
Ooh! Thought i got a palette of life! (-_-)
Oh well...

 
The uselessness of this palette didn't dawn on me until i had to do a shoot recently. I can't explain further lol!

Funny thing is most of the colours are actually really pigmented but they don't stay put, even with a primer. The colour starts falling after an hour. 
I recommend this product for those who just want to paint and play *shrugs*, SO NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL USE. I mean! Don't use this thing if you're going to get paid for a job. Just use it to play.  

I did a few swatches anyway. Here...
With flash. The top row is w/o a base
While the bottom row is with a base. 

Without flash..

See what happened after i used a wet wipe to swipe once
No single stay effect! Just like powder abii chalk! 
I'm definitely not buying any shany eyeshadow again lol!

Do have a great weekend!
Mmmwah!
