(Product Introduction)
Lancome, the disputed mascara expert, is reinventing glamour by bringing together two icons : Betty Boop and Daria Webowy. Betty Boop's mischievous eyes and innate sensuality are combinted with the comtemporary spirit and confident femininity of Daria Webowy. Yesterday's vintage glamour meets the glamour of today.

Inspired by the hallmark codes of 30's movies. Lancome crafts a new, contemporay glamour: Deep, intense and mysterious eyes, femininity that cannot go unnoticed and which quite simple demands the utmost attention.

Hypnose Star Waterproof, the new show-stopping mascara. The essence of sensuality, the faceted brush caresses lashes for amplified volume and Hollywood curl...

Star curves wrapped in a sparkling sequined case.. An utterly dazzling first impression. Lancome creates a true red capture look for this star among mascaras.

For truely "cinema" eyes, Lancome reveals the secret behind an ultra-glamorous fringe of lashes :
The combination of an innovative brush system with two patents and a "Black Diamond" effect gliding formula to sculpt lashes precisely.

The association of two flat and two oblique sides.

• The former loads lashes instantly with mascara, applying just the right dose of texture to generously coat lashes.

• Endowed with longer fibres, the latter seperate and lengthen lashes while fixing them in a sensual curl.

Even the shortest lashes are coated: thanks to its versatile triangular shape, this all new brush paves the way to creating made to measure glamour.

Lashes are long, black and glossy for show-stopping eyes: intense, deep and mysterious.

Playing on the balance between two types of wax, Hypnose star waterproof offers three benefits for a feather-light texture that holds 24 hours.

• Incredibly glamorous volume

This us guaranteed thanks to different soft waxes, which sensually swathe lashes from root to tip for "foolproof" application allowing dream volume with perfect separation to be achieved. Lashes are beautified in 3 dimensional splendour.

• Voluptuous curl

Thanks to hard carnauba wax which forms a thin film over the entire lash surface area and perfectly sets their curl. Lashes flaunt the curves of a pin-up model... Dazzling.

• 24 hour waterproof wear

Four polymers were combined with a volatile solvent to foam a protective film. Result in 24 hours waterproof, no flake, no smudge while being easily removable.

A fluid texture and an all new brush create a surprising alliance, able to create ultra-glam volume and a cleanly defined lash fringe. Guaranteed show-stopping eyes.

To complement cinema eyes, Lancome launches Ultra Twinkling, a new extension of texture family to the Ombre Hypnose Mono eyeshadow range.

Pleasamt contradiction of cushiony soft-silky cream texture and the striking, intense makeup finish. The eyeshadows glide on smoothly and evenly, making colour blending ever so easy. Colour and glitters stay on eyelids all day long without fading or smudging.

6 easy to wear shades are launched as a new  texture addition to the existing Ombre Hypnose Mono eyeshadow range. From glamourous colours that are ideal for single colour use to create star and drama eyes to shades that acts also as a texture transforming topcoat for doll eyes; there's a perfect shade for eyeone!

I have been trying out vmv hypoallergenics Skin Savvy SPF 60 Liquid Foundation for afew weeks now ....  It has a high medium coverage with semi matte finishing.  I do not feel that I need to set the foundation with a loose/pressed powder, so I didn't use any loose powder when I use this foundation.

The foundation feel nice on the skin, thought it might feel abit drying on dry skin (Suitable for all skin type - but I believe that combination to oily skin will love the texture)

On this LOTD... My skin was kinda normal (not drying nor oily) and the foundation last for 9hrs without any touching up.

Recently (September 2012), Lancome launched a new addition to their Genifique collection - Genifique Yeux Light-Pearlᵀᴹ Eye-Illuminating Youth Activator.

Inspired by gene science, the power of Genifique Youth Activator now for eye brightness. Genifique Yeux Light-Pearlᵀᴹ, the first Lancome eye-illuminating serum booster engineered with a patented Light-Pearlᵀᴹ, a massaging applicator that amplifies the formula's efficacy.

For the first time, Lancome creates a serum combining the science of Genifique with a high performance pearl-shaped applicator to make eyes appear more open. As intuitive as it is seductuve, Genifique Yeux light-pearlᵀᴹ serum revolutionises eye contour care. Genifique Yeux Light-Pearlᵀᴹ transforms eyes in 7days.

.

A breakthrough eye serum booster, it represents the first step of the eye beauty ritual.

• illuminate eyes with 360° treatment

• Reinventing eye contour

• Dark circles
• Puffiness
• Winkles

Outstanding results proven on 10 signs of youth

Smoother

• Skin smoothed

• Reduced crow's feet

• Reduced Wrinkles

• Reduced Fine lines

De-puffed

• Lifted up eyelid

• Lifted arch of the eyebrow

• Deflated eye bags

Brighter

• Increased brightness

• Refined texture

• Faded dark circles

Lancome Laboratories' knowledge, expertise and know-how in the formulation has led to a genuine symbiosis between Genifique Yeux serum and the Light-Pearlᵀᴹ applicator. Light and refreshing, its delicate texture procures a remarkable soft sensation.

The formula is fragrance free, formulated for optimal tolerance. The moment it is applied, the serum is instantly absorbed.

Genifique Yeux Light Pearlᵀᴹ releases its powerful ingredients for instant benefits. Diffusion into the eye contour is optimised because of the mechanical efficacy of the pearl.

The serum feel really light and watery.. it spread really well and absorbed into the skin quite fast (base on testing it on the back of my hand).

The light-pearlᵀᴹ applicator feel pretty solid yet doesn't feel hard on the skin. On the skin, it feel nice and cooling.

A breakthrough combination of a pearl created with high-tech precision and cutting-edge materials, the Light-Pearlᵀᴹ represents the first of a new generation of applicators.

From the surface of immaculate silvery metal emerges a futuristic oblong form chiselled by ceramic and porcelain polishers, then smoothed with diamond powder, to become the perfectly designed applicator pearl.

The material is stainless steel, which is notable used for surgical instruments, due to its hygienic properties. Incredibly soft and smooth, on application the pearl procures a wave of freshness (coolness) to illuminate the eye with remarkable senoriality and highly relaxing, instantly energising effect. As continue application, it adapts to the skin's temperature for evluating with levity.

Lastly, the applicator boasts the unique feature of a 50° rotation angle, allowing for a high degree of suppleness on application, lightly gliding over skin, making it perfectly suited to the eye contour. Offering a unique new sensation, the application technique covers and allows you to massage the entire eye contour.

I have been holding myself back from opening this up and start using it. Being a die-hard fan for "eye" products... it's really hard to control the urge for trying new product.

I just start using a new eyecream (Origins eye treatment) not long ago when I received this product (around mid August), so to prevent me from "confusing" the results... I refrain myself from using this serum. Now, it about time for me to start using!! (Yeah~~~)

In September 2012, Lancôme launched Midnight Roses Color Collection by Aaron de Mey (limited edition) at selected Lancôme Beauty Counters.

Unveiling purple's deepest secrets....

The most enigmatic of all the colors, a sacred and infinitely precious shade, for thousands of year purple has been shrouded in mystery. Today, there are only a handful of people in the world who know how to conjure up authentic purple pigments, extracted from the same shell (Hexaplex trunculus) as the one used by the very first Mediterranean civilisations.

Thanks to colorimetric science, the Lancome Laboratories have succeeded in color-matching the original shade, transposing it into cosmetics thanks to extremely fine new-generation satin-aspect month-of-pearl. Captured in the way, the color of true purple now takes centre stage in the "Midnight Roses" collection.

Playing with gloss and matte effects, it perfectly symbolises all the spellbinding magic of night-time in Paris.

Few months ago, I won this Liquid foundation thru Cosmopolitan Singapore Facebook page giveaway. (They ran a series of products giveaway from various brands almost everyday back in March). I won the KATE Mineral Liquid foundation in shade OC-C (this is the common shade)

I can't find the ingredients list in english for this product.

Swatches in various lighting...
This shade OC-C was like about 1 to 2 shades darker then my usual foundation shade... but on my face, it wasn't that dark (just made me look abit warm).

For your info:::
My face is way darker then my whole body... so I need a brighter foundation to even out everything. I have KATE Lasting cover liquid foundation in BR-C.. the shade match me really well!

Here's the side by side comparison of the shades.

Half face... on strong day lighting, the shade doesn't look soo obvious.. but it does cover and even out all the uneven complexion.

When the foundation set.. my face does look abit warm (tired).
(it's not the foundation fault, I just need the "right" shade- lolx)

Anyway, put the shade aside... and focus on how I feel about the foundation after using it for a couple of weeks.

• The foundation shade is buildable from sheer to light medium coverage
• Foundation feel pretty moist/watery, easy to spread around the face.
• Feels like a bbcream texture
• Doesn't feel too heavy nor cakey on the skin
• Pretty Lightweight
• Last a good 5-8hrs depend on the weather conditions. (If I stay indoor- it can last up to 8hrs)
• Doesn't cause any irritation
• Doesn't cause any break-out during the time I use this foundation.
• it has a semi matte finishing
• oil control was pretty average

Side note:
My skin has become more and more better... skin doesn't feel dry nor tight
(but do look abit dry after applying foundation)
I'm back to mild oily combination skin ^__^
My nose and forehead will start to (shine) after afew hours...

I dont look much different under bright day lighting.

[Taken with flash] With flash can see the shade look warm on me...
