Every Beauty Lovers Dream.... Free Makeup


           We have all heard it before those scams that promise to“send you make up for free”, but how many of us have signed up for those emails and got NOTHING! Well I am here to tell you that it is possible to receive FREE makeup from companies, not all the time but sometimes.
           I am talking about influenster All you have to do is answer some surveys and create an account. After they will send you surveys from time to time, you answer and if you are chosen (I know I know….We should all be chosen) then you receive a cool little box in the mail.
           It is true, nothing is truly free, so Influenster will ask you to review the product, take pictures, and give feedback. I was lucky enough to receive some awesome Lancome products in the mail recently! I got three FULL size products and one deluxe size sample. Now for the fun part….


All products mentioned were complementary from Influenster


Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Longwear Foundation Stick SPF 21
A 24-hour wear, highly pigmented, foundation stick that provides high coverage in a super-gliding, weightless texture for a matte finish (claimed on Influenster)
This foundation was just “okay”, it defiantly did not spark anything in this girls soul that’s for sure. It promises 24-hour wear but honestly, no one should be wearing foundation that long, it began to rub out and become patchy when I was setting it! I want to be fair in saying I do have semi oily skin so it could be that this foundation was not the right match for me. I also broke out the next day pretty bad with small white dots… it was very weird. It did feel lightweight even when I went in for a second layer of foundation (girl was feeling like a drag queen). However this foundation packs a punch with it costly over 40 bucks.

Lancôme Le Métallique Metallic Lip Lacquer
A full-coverage, metallic lip lacquer with a rich, creamy texture that hugs your lips like a gloss and leaves them feeling hydrated (claimed on Influenster).
I received the color “Mirrored Nude”, and I love this color! This gloss is lightweight and has great pigmentation. This gloss looked amazing over a nude lipstick or even a pinky one or even on its own.This is a PERFECT color for brides and it is long lasting which is important!

Lancôme Click & Glow Highlighting Skin Fluid
A travel-friendly, luminous crème-fluid highlighter that blends seamlessly into the skin for a touch of natural glow. (claimed on Influenster)
I was so disappointed with this product! I was excited when I first got it because it was compacted and it was made for travel! The color payoff is stuff not there for me, not for a price point of 22 bucks?! No THANKS!

Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Camouflage Concealer
An ultra-pigmented, full-coverage concealer that hides imperfections with a weightless, comfortable feel  (claimed on Influenster)
This concealer covers everything and I mean everything with ease! I used a tiny tiny tiny drop for my under eye and it concealed those darks circles without a problem. It also stayed true to color which is something I can appreciate a lot! Some concealers oxidize to a funny color or crease in my under eye and this didn’t do either!


           I always consider Lancôme to be an “old lady brand” something that my grandmother loved but they are making a comeback of course there will be hiccups along the way…. Highlighter…. But like any brand if they take the consumer feedback they will certainly prefect there products! So watch out girls/ladies/women we all might be shelling out some serious green to get these products.

Drug Store Foundations

                           THE BATTLE OF THE FINDING THE PERFECT FOUNDATION So for some odd reason I got it in my head that in the middle of winter with my skin being dry, flaky and breaking out would be the PERFECT time to try new foundations! So I grabbed my coupons and shopped at my local Walgreens and Rite Aid. Walking through the makeup section can be overbearing because there are so many different kinds of foundations on the market. You have full coverage, ageless, photo finish it can be a little annoying honestly. Over the last month or so I tried six different foundations which can all be found at your local drug store. Before we move on I should say that I don't like a luminous finish. I like my foundation and face to be overall matte. My skin right now is dry from it being winter but I also at times can look like I have an oil slick on my face. Each foundation I did use the Two Faced Hangover Primer. ...
