When it comes to high end makeup, skincare and perfume, one of the brands that I always go back to is Lancome. I have tried a few of their skincare products and I love the cleansing milk; I also adore their perfumes, especially the Tresor Midnight Rose fragrance. One point that I love about Lancome, besides the gorgeously minimal packaging, is the constant supply of amazing and generous free gift with purchase options. I've been able to try so many Lancome products that I wouldn't have tried before because of their GWP sets over the years.
Lancome have collaborated with the designer Roksanda for this gorgeous gift with purchase which includes a fun, cute and colourful makeup bag - until most makeup bags, it's actually really spacious so it can fit everything I
need want in it! The gift with purchase is available at
Harvey Nichols when you spend £29 on Lancome products and it also includes:
- Hydrazen Anti-Stress Moisturising Cream SPF 15 (15ml)
- Hypnose Volume Mascara (Black, 2ml)
- La Base Pro Pore Eraser (5ml)
- L'Absolu Rouge in BX06
My favourite product from the GWP set has to be the lipstick, it reminds me of the mini lipsticks Avon used to have but far, far more elegant! The shade is a gorgeous dusky rose shade, it looks brighter on the lips than it does in the tube and even though it has shimmer, it doesn't make the lipstick look dated or unwearable. I rarely go through a full tube of lipstick so mini versions are fantastic and they looks so freakin' adorable. I have tried the Hypnose Volume Mascara before and I loved it and I've also tried the full size Lancome Hydrazen Moisturiser before too and I really liked it too.
Additionally I was very kindly sent the *
Lancome Grandiose Mascara (£25, 01) which I have wanted to try for so long! It has to be the most beautifully packaged mascara ever, fact. The wand is also unusual as it has a bend in it, I hope it is easy to see in the video below; the bend in the wand makes the mascara so easy to use which I wasn't expecting. The formula is quite wet which I don't usually like but I love this mascara as for me it is very black, lengthening and volumising. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.
I was also sent the much raved about *
Lancome Miracle Cushion Foundation (£30) in the shade 02 which is a relatively good match for me but a shade lighter would have been perfect! The foundation is described as fresh, dewy, hydrating and weightless and after using it for a few days I can definitely say that it is. I will have a full review of the foundation on my blog within the next couple of weeks but so far I'm loving it! I'm feeling quite spoilt by the super lovely people at Lancome!
This offer ends on the 8th June so go, go, go!
