So I received this baby for Christmas (Thanks Dad!) and I couldn't wait to try it because I've heard such great things about this foundation. Full Coverage, No cakey feeling, Long Lasting - I mean 24 Hours?! This foundation already sounded like a dream, and I didn't even try it out it yet! BUT when I did - did this foundation stick to what it preached? Hmmmm...Well... Right off the bat, the foundation looks absolutely stunning and classy, arriving in a striking silver box (You can already feel your money I swear!). When you open it up the foundation bottle has a frosted matte finish with a black and gold lid, and the iconic Lancome Rose logo printed on it, crisp and clear. The foundation does come with a pump, THANK GOD, and it's quite a lot of product as well. It comes with 30ml of foundation, which is the regular degular for high end foundations. The foundation does have a stunning rosey scent to it, which matched the logo perfectly. If you're not a fan of scented foundations then this one isn't for you as the scent is quite noticeable, and not to mention - super breathtaking! So to those of you who love scented foundations then you'll love this! THE FOUNDATION CLAIMS TO BE:
So I'm here to spill if it lives up to what it preaches - or not... So I've been testing out this foundation for a month now, and I must say that I am truly and honestly so impressed with this. I've been reaching for it more and more this Summer because I just love how it looks and feels on my skin. The foundation formula is not a matte formula, and I don't really tend to reach for foundations that aren't matte, however, with the hype and amazing results and reviews I've seen from this product, I had to grab it! I must add in, that it's easy to turn your foundations matte by using a matte primer, mattifying baking powder and mattifying face setting powder. I use all of the above, and boy do I feel matte when I'm done! You guys also know I have oily skin, however I rarely find shine coming through with this foundation, and when shine does come through, I simply blot it away with some translucent powder. Quick Add In: In a lot of reviews and YouTube videos I've seen, people say that this is a matte foundation, however - on the foundation bottle itself it does not say its matte. Nor does the Red Square Website imply that this is a matte foundation - so just look out for that when researching foundations :) The foundation is however oil free, which you could see why one would imply it's a matte foundation, however it's not. It's not too dewy either if you're wondering, I feel it's just right :) LONG LASTING - 24 HOURS WORTH!
