Lancome Teint Miracle Review

I really liked the 7 day sample of Lancome's Teint Miracle foundation and I was kindly sent a full size bottle to try. I've been using it for at least a month now and thought it was time to share my thoughts.

Firstly, I really like the bottle and the smell of this foundation. These aren't deal breakers with a product but just a nice bonus. The glass bottle has a nice pump, I find easy to hold and dispense. I tend to use one to two pumps depending on the amount of coverage that I want and the pump means less mess and wastage. The scent is a fresh watermelon smell. I find it pleasing and not at all over-powering. I suppose if you don't like scented products you may not like this but it's not a really perfumed smell and it's more pleasant than some of the strong emulsion smells that you can get with some cheaper foundations.

On to the product itself. This is a light reflecting formula and I find it to be a light to medium coverage. I find it very easy to apply, as I've mentioned before I always apply foundation with my fingers. I don't get any streaking, it blends quickly and easily and looks very natural. Although it doesn't move around once applied it doesn't really set either. It's a buildable forumla and when Oxford Jasmine did my makeover, she was able to successfully use it as a concealer to cover my blemishes.

I find it even my skins tone without very obviously looking like foundation. The only downsides for me are that my skin can feel a little greasy around my T-zone when wearing this. I think this is a factor of the hydrating formula. On my skin it would benefit from a little powdering or blotting however, as I'm inherently lazy this never happens. I'm lucky enough to get a face on these days so touching up and extras are a rare luxury!

I'm using shade 2, this is a touch pink for my skin though not so much that it is unwearable (for reference, I'm NC20 in a MAC foundation). I will definitely be using this up, I have a feeling I will try something else when I have finished this bottle but I would happily purchase again in the future. If you are interested in trying this foundation, I believe you can still get the 7 day trial sample that I mentioned here. I would highly recommend this, it's always great to try a foundation before you buy and the sample more than covers the 7 days.

Lancome Teint Miracle costs £25 for 30ml and is available from all Lancome counters as well as online from Boots, Debenhams and Selfridges websites.

Lancome Teint Miracle Sample

Lancome has a new foundation coming out called Teint Miracle. It's due for Nationwide release on 1st September. If you would like to try it, Lancome are offering a free 7 day trial sample at the moment (UK and R.O.I. only I'm afraid). I found out about this via Twitter and wanted to share with you as I got my sample on Thursday. I love offers like this as all too often you need to try foundations before you buy.  To get your personalised voucher, follow the link on their facebook page here. Fill in your details, print out your voucher and present it at any Lancome counter. You will be colour matched and provided with a vial which contains enough for at least 7 applications.

It's a lovely foundation and I've already posted a picture of me wearing it in my latest FOTD. The texture is light and it provides a nice coverage, I'd say it's probably light to medium. It's light reflective and gives a lovely glow to the skin without looking shiny or unnatural.

Teint Miracle is also available to buy online exclusively from www.selfridges.com at the moment.
