Review: Lancôme Magique Matte Soft-Matte Perfecting Mousse Makeup
What They Say: "The next generation of makeup from Lancôme. Mousse to soft matte makeup for smooth, even toned skin - Magique Matte features a breakthrough mousse texture that applies like a foundation with the finish of a velvety powder. The air-whipped formula with Spherelight™ micropowders glides on smoothly. Innovative technology evens skin tone and blends away imperfections. This ‘never flat matte’ makeup offers buildable, moderate to full coverage that stays fresh all day. Available in 12 shades, the diverse shade range has all skin tones covered.
* Please note: Magique Matte is for all skin types except very dry skin."
Melissa's DeLush Downlow: The incredibly soft mousse was my first indication that this was a truly different type of foundation. I was suspicious that its light-as-air texture would mean less-than-ample coverage, but that wasn't the case. While the foundation was amazingly light and non-caking, it still evened out my skin tone and gave a radiant finish. And staying power? I didn't even feel a need to blot any shine throughout the day and looked just as polished after hours as I did immediately after applying. Yet I never felt like my skin wasn't still showing through.
I do completely agree with the fact that this could work for almost any skin type except for extremely dry. Any dry patchy parts of the face would be emphasized with this formula. And remember to be sparing when you apply - you'd be suprised how far this stuff goes. And as always, your happiness with this product is all in selecting the correct shade. If you can get to an actual retail location, that would be best.
Retail Price: $37 (at lancome.com and other online locations and in department stores)

Lancome SWEET BALM Moisturizing Tinted Lip Balm
What They Say: "The perfect tint in a tube. This essential balm adds a delicious new dimension to lip care with color. Hydrating formula moisturizes lips while adorning them with a pretty pink tint, a sweet scent and raspberry flavor."
Melissa's DeLush Downlow: Smooth, lasting moisture? Check. Yummy taste? Right on. Pretty pink tint? Uhhh...not so much. It looked really pretty when I tested the color on my hand - a barely visible glisten-y color (though not quite pink), but on the lips, it has the tendency to look white. Not the most desired look. If you put the tiniest, tiniest dab on and rub your lips together, it's not that bad. But if you're at all like me and have the habit of wanting to coat your whole lips with balm, you just might catch yourself in the mirror later and get scared. For the price? Not necessarily worth it.
Retail Price: $16.00

*Update: Looks like Lancome agreed - they've pulled the product and it is no longer available.

Lancome Miracle So Magic! Fragrance

What They Say: "Vivacious. Fun. Spirited. Life is a magical experience full of wonder and excitement. Come play with a magical bouquet of Narcissus, Clover and Wild Rose. The spirit and sparkle of this fragrance will awaken your senses and make your spirits soar."
Melissa's DeLush Downlow: This floral fragrance strikes me as something a classic woman would wear when she wants to feel happy and carefree. It's almost like a field of wildflowers, and as the scent wore through the day the notes combined into a sort of lily-of-the-valley smell. A long-wearing perfume for those that enjoy florals.
