I decided to try this in the winter, since I had very dry and dull skin, hoping it would give me a glow. I had no luck with this.
It comes in a two step system a scrub and a serum. The scrub did it's job by removing dull skin, but it was nothing different from what my St.Ive's scrub usually does for way cheaper. The serum was terrible. I put it and the next morning I had clogged pores on the very spots where I'd put it on.
I really don't think it's anything special and it was way too expensive.
This is an excellent sunscreen, but is quite expensive at $30.00 for a 3.4 ounce tube. I think it is WELL worth the price for the excellent protection. Meroxyl is one of the best and most reliable UVA screens out there. I use this under foundation on my face and neck.
Sunscreen is an area where I would definitely not skimp moneywise.
The eyes are very sensative to pulling and tugging as we try to remove our eye make-up. I luckily found a double-action eye make up remover. The Lancome Bi-Facil eye make up remover is as fresh as water. It activates when shaken gently and whisks away even waterproof eye make-up. It does all this wihile cleansing, refreshing and conditioning the skin. It is great for contact wearers as well. It leaves the eyes feeling fool and relaxed with no oily residue. Has been opthalmologist tested for safety. Excellent product.
Pros:Excellent product--faultless for the purpose it serves. Cons:It only comes in a 4.2 fluid oz bottle and $24.00 is a little pricy for that!!
This is great, and true to its word. The moisturiser turned into a water-like substance as soon as it hit my skin. My skin felt healthy, bright and moisturised afterwards. The packaging was really pretty too, with a pump for less messier access.
Pros:Great packaging and great moisturiser Cons:Used up quickly and the price.
This eye makeup remover is effective, but it leaves a lot of oily residue behind. For a duo-phase (water based + oil based remover that you need to shake up) eye makeup remover I think Dior works just as well, without so much oiliness. The biggest drawback for me is that this product irritates my eyes if I use it for more than a couple days in a row. It makes my skin sting and turn red, and I am not typically sensitive to any other removers or skincare that I've tried. Eye makeup removers really don't need as much fragrance as this one either; you'd think Lancome was making perfume.
Pros:Takes off all signs of eye makeup Cons:Leaves residue, overly fragranced, may irritate your skin
I loves this stuff. A toner and cleanser in one. Wasn't sure how to list it because I think I'm the first one reviewing it. I wouldn't use it as an every day cleanser because I'm not sure how deep it cleanses it's great for once in a while. Too expensive for a regular toner and I prefer a toner with an astringent because I'm acne prone. Gentle to the skin. Loved the pump bottle. I have since switched to Murad toner with witch hazel. I would recommend this cleansing water. Feel free to email me if you need more info.
Very good, non greasy moisturizer, without all that perfume Lancome is known for putting in their skincare. Didn't paralyze my facial muscles, as the description implies, but if you want a pricey but good moisturizer for night without spf or grease, this is for you.
Pros:Non-greasy, unscented good oily or dry skin moisturizer. Cons:None.
Ok, so I didn't buy this. I mean, I didn't steal it, but I got it for free. Which, honestly, is the only reason I tried this.
This an effective eye make-up remover. I apply it to a Q-tip and use it to swab up any left over traces of eye make-up that my cleansing oil didn't dissolve.
I don't think I would buy this again because its greasy and I don't like the fragrance. I much prefer MACs eye make-up remover.
Me: NC43, GGG, Green Eyes, Jet Black Straight Hair, Combination/Sensitive Skin
Pros:effectively removes waterproof make-up Cons:leaves an oily residue on skin and I don't care for the scent
when i found out this stuff was so expensive i nearly had a heart attack! i was lucky enough to get a free sample in a GWP promotion. i've only used it a couple of days, but already i'm in love. my skin feels smooth and hydrated and my makeup goes on like satin. it was picked as one the best skin care products for 2006 and i see why. if my skin continues to look and feel this good, i won't mind needing a second job to buy it!
Pros:spf15, made skin smooth & hydrated, saw improvement in first few days Cons:very expensive
This is a gel cream and you don't need a lot of it. It smells
wonderful (in my opinion anyway) and gives good mousture. I have dry
and sensitive skin and I've tried both types of this and like the gel
one better. The one intented for dry skin felt a bit too thick and the
small wasn't as good and fresh as the gel formula. I'll continue to buy
this though it's a bit expensive.
Pros:Gives good moisture, smells great Cons:A bit expensive
This is a great moisturizer for normal/combination skin. I would highly recommend to people who have combination skin but looking for a moisturizer that wont clog pores and oil free. I use it on the morning after cleaning my face and I am able to apply my makeup over the moisturizer, it blends really well.
Pros:Good moisturizer especially during cold weather. Cons:Price.
This product does the most thorough job of removing eye makeup for me. Also, it is great at removing any waxy residue following, well, obviously, waxing. In fact, that's why I continue to buy it, as I can find eye makeup remover at a lesser price, which is what I do to save money, and use this for waxing. I buy it at a cosmetics outlet.
Several years ago, I worked at a Lancome counter. This stuff just flew off the shelves.
This product really hydrates the skin around my eyes which is
usually really dry. The cream itself is very light and almost
like gel. It's great for someone who is just seeing first signs
of wrinkles around the eyes. The only thing I don't like is that
there isn't much in the bottle, but then it's an eye cream so you only
put a little each time. But I will probably stick with this eye
cream for a while until I need something heavy duty in the future! :P
I didn't really like this product when I was using it, and then
when I started Lancome's Primordiale Optimum Eye I realized that the
latter is so much better. It just seems to put moisture on the
surface and after a while, my skin starts to feel dry. My
wrinkles did not diminish at all.
I was looking for cream that really hydrates my skin. This
one didn't really do that.. it just made it greasy. And the scent
is too strong for my taste.
I got this with gift with purchase. It is light weight, not greasy. Which is good because I can heardly feel it on my skin and it doesn't leave me shiny. It has helped impove the texture and smoothness of my skin. However, in the first couple weeks it caused me to break out. So if you have sensitive skin I don't recomend it. But I kept using it and my skin got use to it and was able to balance itself out.
Pros:light-weight, non greasey, good moisturizer. Cons:expensive if bought seperatly. Can make you breakout.
OK I used to not like this, but now I do. I finally started wearing a waterproof mascara and my Maybelline doesn't get it off. This does though! I like the rose water smell of this and it feels nice and smooth on my eyes. It does leave them oily and I have to really wash to get it off which is the only downside other than the price.
this self tanner literally smells like roses. it´s a gel formula for the use on the face and distributes evenly and never streaky. I have fair skin so the effect of this is just right and always looks natural. I don´t know if this comes in a heavier version for darker skintones-if not, don´t buy it if you´re already pretty dark, cause the effect is pretty subtle.
but for people who have little or no experience with self tanners this is a great (although a little expensive) product to start with!
Pros:good smell Cons:effect might be too subtle for some
