Review: Lancome Dual Finish Versatile Powder Foundation Makeup


I have always been trying out new foundation powders over the years...And I gotta say, this is one of my favorite foundation powder.

The shade I have is Matte Neutrale II (W)..The texture of this powder foundation is really finely milled. I would say the coverage of this foundation is medium to build-able.  I wouldn't say this is a heavy duty full coverage powder, as it doesn't cover acne or marks.

One of the reasons why I love this foundation a lot is the longevity that it gives. I usually apply my  makeup around 7:30am in the morning...and I have a typical OL work schedule. So by the end of the day (I would say at least 8 hrs later), I can still see the foundation set really nicely on my skin. For alot of other foundation powders that I have try (ex. chanel)..this Lancome powder does not oxide as much on me. The color stay pretty much the same as I applied. But of course, it does wear off a bit at the end of the day. But I really love how long it stays on my skin and how nice of a texture it gives to my complexion.

And did I mention that I LOVE the finish that this powder gives? It completely makes minimize the pores around the centre of my face, and it gives a smooth look to my complexion.

The only down side of this foundation is the color range. I have a yellow undertone skin (I'm in B30 in Chanel foundations) and Matte Neutrale II is a touch too light for even my winter shade. However, the next shade darker is too dark to match my skin tone :(.

But overall, I would definitely recommend this powder to everyone. It gives a nice matte finish, so its great for those with oily skin. But even though I have combination to dry skin, I still love how the finish it gives.

Review: Marc Jacob's Perfection Powder Featherweight Foundation

Deng Deng Deng! I placed an order through Sephora.ca about a month ago, as I was very interested in trying Marc Jacob's new makeup line. I pretty much made the order when the line was first launched, so I had no idea which will be hits or misses.  The one product I wanted to try out was the powder foundation - Let's talk about the packaging... Like every other reviewers, Marc Jacob definitely did a great job in designing his products.  He differentiated his products by rounding the 4 edges on the side, while keeping the traditional black sleek case trend.  He also got a little silver push button at the side, which adds a little bit of classiness to the look.  Once the compact is opened, you can see a huge mirror on the lid, and because of this, the weight of the foundation is relatively heavier compared to other compact foundations. Now on to the product - The color I got is 300 Beige (I am normally a shade 30 in Dior/Chanel foundations)...

RevlonColorBurst Lip Butters - Peach From Top to bottom: 1. Lilac Pastel 2. Strawberry Fraise 3. Hot Pink Rose Vibrant Overall, I think the color payoff for these lipsticks + lip glosses are very pigmented. But I find that the lip butters are quite drying after 30min or so. I can see my lips start to dry up alot more if I wear these lip butters on a daily basis.  The lip glosses are very opaque and the colors are really pretty, however, it doesn't last long...
