Today's a really overdue review... on Lancome TEINT IDOLE FRESH WEAR foundation
Price: $32 (0.8 fl. oz.)
My shade is in Bisque 2C
- super watery, easy to blend
- for me, the best result comes from blending with my fingers. I found that if I just use my hand, it looks less cakey/powdery and actually lasts longer. I'm not sure why when I use a brush the foundation looks slightly cakey.
- Very thin and light, light to medium coverage.
- Coverage is buildable
- Gives matte finish with a healthy glow which I really like :)
- SPF 15
- you can smell the alcohol, and feels a bit cooling on skin
- now... does it last 18 hours? I actually don't think this thing even last 8 hours... which I think is super ironic as it advertises for 18 hours of wear... mine starts looking cakey around 6-8 hours. So I wouldn't wear this if I were going out all day. A shame cuz I love the consistency and the shade... even it isn't the longest lasting it's still my current favorite... I just need touching up.
- while it does cake up the staying power is pretty good... if it make any sense at all?... cuz I actually went swimming in the pool with this foundation on (not planned =___= I was pushed into the water by a friend... #@$%^... good thing everything on my face was water-proof)
- I wish it was in a container with pump- I don't like the fact that air get sucked into the tube during each use
- the tube is a bit hard to control in my opinion-- be sure to hold it upward when getting the product out of it, cuz I once have the product come gushing out when I tried squeezing a bit for touch up -___-
Overall if you're looking for a thin and buildable foundation... this works well. If you have oily skin and looking for oil control... I really don't think it controls oil any better than my other foundations...
Remember you can always ask for samples from Sephora to try out before purchasing :D
Hope this review is helpful to some of you =)

Great review! Haven't seen this product before! (mainly cuz I don't use liquid foundation) but since its a thin coverage, sounds good. How long does each bottle last though?
ReplyDeleteLoL, to your friends who pushed you into the pool. But you can be all like "hah! I still look awesome!!" hehehe ^---^
Replying your question, not all gyaru's are blond. Actually, there are not particular style or hair colour or hair do for gyarus. They are just a type of girls who love to dress up and wear make-up in a certain way to make their eyes look like this --> @u@. You can have dark hair, and still be a gyaru! Which, alot of non-japanese people mistake of.
oh boy, this got long XP
a lot of people were talking about this foundation. I personally can't wait for sephora to get the lancome teint miracle :P I'll probably ask for samples of both of these when sephora has the other one lol ^__^
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review :]
Finally, another person loves light coverage foundation. I just can't bring myself to suffocate my pores! XD I love your reviews though, they're always so thorough and I always know whether I want the product by the end lol.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about it caking up though, it's a shame :(
