Lancome Launches Tresor Midnight Rose fragrance

A NEW BREEZE OF ROMANTICISM
FLUTTERS THROUGH PARIS...

A captivating, charming,
YOUNG WOMAN breaks through the CITY of lights and MAKES IT DAZZLE.

Liberated and vivacious, she rushes through the paved lanes of the most romantic capital of the world. PARIS. Paris with its enchanting little squares, lively evening cafés and the embankments of the River Seine. Paris at dusk. Paris at night, when the sky blushes with an exhilarating and almost unreal violet glow. This
Paris is the playground for a romantic game of hide-and-seek.
CATCH MY HEART IF YOU CAN!
Spontaneity, freshness and mischievous femininity…
She enthrals with one gaze, one smile. And one
desire: to play with the RULES OF LOVE. She
is the ICON OF A GENERATION, a young face
that represents contemporary cinema. Her name:
EMMA WATSON…

Femininity lingers in her wake, an ethereal
delight structured around rose. A lasting
“scented trail” of an unforgettable woman:
TRÉSOR MIDNIGHT ROSE.
After Trésor In Love, Lancôme tells a new love
story, filled with lightness, magic, but also
sensuality.
A passionate story that freely rewrites the
language of romantic yet CONTEMPORARY
LOVE.

A DELICIOUS FRAGRANCE LIKE A “CANDIED ROSE OF LOVE”
A magical nectar with an intense, honeyed
heart in which rose, the olfactory signature of
the Trésor fragrance, becomes sweeter than
ever before.
“Trésor Midnight Rose is A COLOURFUL,

UPBEAT AND JOYFUL FRAGRANCE…
It embodies mischievous femininity: rose becomes
playful, driven by deliciously tangy raspberry tones,
wooden shimmers and voluptuous vanilla notes.
This spontaneous, irresistible rose charms every thing
in its path. IT’S A REAL SIGNATURE,” explains

perfumer Anne Flipo, creator of this generous
fruity floral. Like a mouth-watering candied apple, Trésor Midnight Rose could be a crisp, sweet “candied rose of love”, fruit of an unexpected encounter.
From the very first moment, it’s love at first
sight between deep, intense rose absolute and
vibrant, bold raspberry.
The caress of jasmine and peony meet fresh blackcurrant bud absolute and intense pink
pepper.For the final touch of seduction, the drydown
– Virginia cedar essence, vanilla and musk –
warms up the floral notes in AN ABSOLUTELY
ADDICTIVE AND MODERN TRAIL.

The VIOLET GLOW OF A FACETTED BOTTLE

It’s the most romantic hour, just before midnight, when magic tints the sky a violet
hue. It is the moment when anything is possible. An enchanted moment suspended in time, whose every nuance is captured in the facetted bottle of Trésor Midnight Rose.
THIS RADIANT JEWEL, scintillating with
multiple reflections, is dressed in a DELICATE
AND VOLUPTUOUS GRADATION of powdery
pink to violet…
At its neck, a NIGHTTIME ROSE with satiny purple petals has just blossomed under
the DIAMOND-CUT cap. A precious rose symbolizing passionate love.

My Face Cosmetics MyMix foundation- Review, swatches & photos

Sometimes it becomes so tough to choose a foundation. I always love a foundation which not only cover my skin flaws but also looks natural on it. I hate the foundation which makes the skin look as if it has been painted! I'm feel lucky enough that I found some great foundations for my skin. When MyFace cosmetics sent me their foundation to try out, I noticed that they sent me their med/dark tone foundation which was dark for my skin but it's not too dark so if I mix it with my other foundations it can work nicely. If you check MyFace cosmetic website you'll note that it is split into two areas. The first one is divided by skin tone and the other is the Bling Tones. The skin tones are divided into Fair, Medium and Medium/Dark. They chose mine from their med/dark range, which was a bit wrong. I think I come under their medium tone range. There's a range of the usual make up products in each of these skin tone ranges which is really great.

Myface Cosmetics My Mix Foundation Med/Dark 01

My Mix foundation 01 is made for medium to dark skin tones. In this line there are 3 shades 01, 02, 03. My Mix foundation 01 is not too dark, it's actually for a light medium skin tone. I have noticed that even 03 is also not too dark so I think there are not any shades for dark skin tones.

What MyFace Cosmetics says….

Colour-correcting formula eliminates redness from MED/DARK skin
Lightweight texture, won’t feel heavy on skin
Highly moisturizing formula that glides on the skin and gives
you radiance
Each foundation has a matching concealer.

Weight

35 ml

Price

£12.99

Packaging

The packaging is beautiful. The foundation comes in thin plastic tube with a shining garyish silver cap. The packaging is quite different from other foundations packaging.It's very travel freindly & light weight.

Ingredients

Shade

There are three divisions made in the shades section & each division has three shades in it.

There have fair, medium and med/dark. In each section they have the 3 shades to choose from which range from 01 -03. 01 being the lightest in that group.

In all there are 9 shades available.

Fair

*Prone to sunburn *may have pink undertones *often blonde/redhead with light eyes

Medium

*tends to tan easily *may have sallow undertones *colouring may be beige or golden

Med/dark

*Skin does not burn *typically has rich,warn brown tones *often dark hair and eyes *asian/indian skin tones

Texture

The texture is thin but not runny. When you apply the foundation on your face, it feels quite light. It's not thick so doesn't cover much flaws of skin but I think it's great for a day time look.

In the mirror of my own experience

I don't like foundations which feel like a paint on my skin. The foundation which has light texture still can give a nice coverage can't be found very easily. Light textured foundations often give medium coverage which is nice for day time makeup look. My Mix foundation gives a medium but lovely coverage to my skin. The only disappointment is that they sent me a slightly darker shade. But they have a good option of shades available to choose the right shade for your skin. I love its light texture. It won’t give you full coverage either but after applying it you'll feel so comfortable. As far as the more coverage concerned, one can apply its concealer so over all it's a good foundation. I'm impressed about the lasting power. If you have normal to dry skin, it can stay for about for 6 to 7 hours. I can't say about oily skin but I guess, it'll last for 4-5 hrs easily.

The shade is not matching with my skin

After blending, my skin looks a bit dark

Good points

Lovely packaging which is easy to carry out.
A good variety of shades are available, so you can chose the suitable shade.
Offers medium coverage, which can be made better by using a concelaer over it.
Lightens blemishes & spots quite well.
The lasting power is very impressive.
The texture is perfect & it's light weight as well.
Decently priced.

Bad points

No shades available for deep dark skin tones.
Does not give high coverage.

Finally....

Finally, I would say that it's a good foundation for everyday use as it gives a good amount of coverage. Perfect for office wear as it's very light weight too.

Rating

4/5

Recommendation

If you can find the right shade for yourself then you should surely give one a try.

VLCC Liquorice Cold Cream- Review, photos

I always feel a proud that India has so many brands who taught the world how to protect our skin and beauty with the natural ingredients. India has some great names like Shahnaz Hussain, I always will take this beauty queen's name first because this great woman is the first who gave a revolution to beauty with her Herbal search and showed to the world how beneficial these herbal products for our skin.After her amazing success many names came up in this field. Like Vandana Luthra, Blossom Kochher, Habib and many mores. I always love to use natural products for my skin. In these winters, I have used VLCC Liquorice Cold Cream and after using I'm writing this review for all my readers.

What VLCC says….

This ultra rich dual-action moisturizing cream is enriched with Rose Petals and Liquorice Extracts which, helps to heal and soften the most rough and dry skin. It provides your skin with precious moisture while protecting it from the harmful effects of the sun (SPF-10).

Packaging

It comes in a round jar with round lid. The lid has quite sharp edges which feels uncomfortable while opening the jar. The packaging is light weight & travel friendly.

Ingredients

Extracts of Grape Seed, Cobra Saffron, Rose Petals, Liquorice and Aloe Vera, Oils of Jojoba and Olive, Vitamin E, Dimethicone, D-Panthenol.

How to use

Apply appropriate amount on clean the skin and massage gently till the skin absorbs it.

Apply twice a day, especially after bath.

Texture

The texture of this cream is white and a bit thick and perfect for making the skin moist in winter. The texture is thick but when applied it gets quickly absorbed and does not leave the oiliness on my face.

In the mirror of my own experience

When I first opened the jar, I fell in love with its fragrance which was so yummy like a vanilla ice cream. Every time when I open it, the smell pleases me. The texture, though a bit thick, but it doesn't make my skin oily at all. I take out a small amount of cream from the jar and apply it all over my face and neck. The cream gets absorbed into the skin very easily and make is soft and smooth. I must say that it keeps my skin moisturized throughout the day and I don’t require any touch-ups at all.I really love the effects which I got after using it. My skin never felt dry in this winter and I'm very happy that I bought this lovely cold cream. I always love VLCC products and now one more product of this brand has become my favorite.

Good points

Love its yummy smell.
It moisturises my skin perfectly and very nice for winter.
Never make my skin greasy.
Thick and creamy consistency.
Spread easily and a small amount of product covers the whole face and neck.
Gives a great effect for the skin after using some times.
The product is worth the price.

Bad points

I don't like the packaging. The lid's edge is quite sharp which is not comfortable while opening it.
I wish it came in a tube or in some other type of packaging.

Finally....

I'm highly impressed by this cold cream. It's completely natural and really effective. It's not like other cold creams which make the skin greasy. It makes the skin perfectly moisturized and soft. I got a clear difference in my skin after using it for 15 days. Now it will be a favorite product for winters. I really love it.

4.8/5

If you have normal to dry skin. You should not forget to try it in winter. I'm sure it'll work for you.
