With so many beauty brands out there, women sometimes find themselves a little spoilt for choice because there are so many to choose from and it can at times get a little overwhelming, if not confusing! While there are more than one that really delivers on the promises it makes, one of our many favourites have got to be Lancôme.
A French luxury perfume and cosmetics brand, the Lancôme brand is synonymous with elegance and beauty. Founded in 1935, Lancôme continues to provide women all around the world with fragrances, skincare and makeup that truly define women’s best qualities. A brand that understands how to amplify a woman’s feature, Lancôme boasts plenty of best-selling products but here are five Lancôme products you simply need to have, according to us:
BLANC EXPERT CUSHION COMPACT
If what you’re looking for is a dewy and rosy complexion then the Blanc Expert Cushion Compact is for you. With its ground-breaking formula, this compact product features the latest brightening technology. Often the word “brightening” is associated with looking fairer but what it actually is it gives you the radiant glow all women want to achieve. It’s also got a cooling a slight cooling effect, which is always helpful when you live in a hot country like Malaysia. We like how it sets into your skin very easily and the natural finish that it gives.
What we love most about it: How light it feels on the skin. The last thing you want on your face is makeup that makes your skin feels clogged and heavy. The Blanc Expert Cushion Compact is also equipped with SPF 23/PA++ to protect your delicate skin from UVA and UVB.
The Blanc Expert Cushion Compact retails at RM180.20, which includes refill and case.
GRANDIÔSE
There are a lot of mascaras out there that promise “revolutionary results” with their “breakthrough innovations” and often you don’t really notice the difference because who has time to really look at the brush design or find out about the formula. So, when we were introduced to the Grandiôse mascara, we weren’t quite sure what to expect but after unboxing and using it, we only have three words – OH MY GOD! There is no need for curl lashing before applying this mascara on because one simple coat is enough for a dramatic effect.
What we love most about it: EVERYTHING. You will really notice the difference with this mascara and it’s definitely a game-changer product. If what you’re looking for is really full, thick and intense lashes, this product is definitely for you.
The Grandiôse mascara retails at RM121.90
ADVANCED GÉNIFIQUE
With any serum, you have got to be consistent for a long time to see results at all. Even though we are no serum experts, the Lancôme Advanced Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate did feel as though it delivered us with instant outcome. After using it for a few weeks, you will notice just how much younger your skin feels. This #1 serum by Lancôme will leave your skin looking brighter too and its ingredients is enough to use during the day without having to apply moisturizer after.
What we love about it: It’s totally non-greasy, which is a major plus point and also its nifty drop dispenser that makes application a super easy process!
The Advanced Génifique retails at RM291.50
BLANC EXPERT MELANOLYSER-III™ INTERGRAL WHITENESS SPOT ERASER
Yes, then name of the product itself is quite a mouthful but this product is one you’ll want to have to reduce signs of ageing and exposure to the sun like dark spots. We’ve heard how this product is the first revolutionary serum by the brand that can actually dissolve dark agents in skin cells. This product has been specifically designed to fight back dark spots and after consistent use, you’ll be able to see shadows that darken the face are visibly reduced.
What we love about it: You can literally use this all over your face and the packaging so travel-friendly that you’ll definitely want to take this with you, especially when going on a beach vacation!
The Blanc Expert Melanolyser-III™ Intergral Whiteness Spot Eraser retails at RM391.20 (30ml)
LA VIE EST BELLE
Every other day a new fragrance is launched and you’re just like, “this will be just another boring perfume.” But then there are launches that will truly excite the perfume addict in us and that’s the reincarnation of Lancôme’s La Vie Est Belle that’s brought to life by Julia Roberts as its ambassador. So, to answer your question the La Vie Est Belle is anything but another copycat perfume. It’s one that will always remain in your collection, if you’re into collecting fragrances that is and we definitely are.
What we love about it: It’s addictive citrusy top notes with a hint of zesty raspberry. It’s a sweet smelling perfume that is perfect for the modern woman but it’s not too sweet that it overwhelms everything and everyone.
The La Vie Est Belle retails at RM318 (50ml)
