Lancome Oscillation Powerfoundation Rocks My World

I’m not really a mineral foundation lover. I’ve tried them before, and it’s always been ehhh. After 8 hours my face looks blotchy, masky and usually they don’t provide enough coverage. However, a few weeks ago, I got the chance to try Lancome’s Oscillation Powerfoundation and my opinion on mineral foundations has greatly changed.

My shade in this is Sable 20. First of all, I love the packaging of this product. The Foundation is encased in a jar, and the applicator is over it. All you have to do is push the button on the applicator (the button makes the brush move 7000 micro-oscillations per minute) and begin applying on your face.  The vibrations of the brush feel as if  I'm giving myself a facial massage. So wonderful!

I love that unlike other mineral foundations this product will not leave a powdery mess all over my house.  This product also has a very high amount of SPF-21. That’s high for any foundation, cream, powder or liquid. When I tried this, I couldn’t believe the amount of coverage it provided. Seriously, I didn’t have to use a concealer or anything for my hyper pigmentation.  The Sable 20 shade was an exact match to my skin. Lancome claims this will last for 14 hours.  I can attest that this lasted a full day on me without the need to re-apply. Also, this product is oil, talc, and fragrance free.

Me with this on.

What are your thoughts on mineral foundations?

Do you love them? Do you hate them?

De's loving Face Atelier Pro Ultra Foundation

When it comes to foundation, I’m very picky. I’ve used the same two for years. (One in the summer, and one during the colder months.) However, a few of my friends who are makeup artists had been raving about Face Atelier’s Pro Ultra Foundations so when I was given the opportunity to try it, I jumped at the chance. I tried the honey shade. However, it was still a little light for me. Not to worry, you can get another tube of something called Zero + and what this does is darken the current color. Basically, you’re customizing your color. I applied a drop to the honey foundation, and my skin color match was perfected. (You can also get ZERO- which makes the foundation lighter.) When I apply foundation, I don’t like people knowing that I’m wearing any. I’m not a fan of faces that look way too made up. I don’t try to hide my natural beauty, only enhance it. This was perfect for me, I applied a small amount all over my face, and this offered full coverage, but it didn’t look like I had pounds of makeup on. When I had the foundation on, mommy (who doesn’t really like makeup she thinks women should just be happy with their natural beauty) remarked that my skin looked beautiful.

Have you tried Face Atelier products?

Do you love them?
