Lancome Teint Miracle Liquid Foundation (3rd Generation)

Lancome will launch its third generation version of its popular Teint Miracle Liquid foundation SPF25 PA+++ (6000yen, 30ml, 7 shades) on 15 September in Japan. Boosted with moisture capture technology for improved hydration capability, it is formulated with an 'aura inside technology' with three types of pearl particles for creating a natural lustrous glow. The paraben-free and oil-free formula is also gentle on skin. This is the first time that I've seen a Lancome product being marketed as being paraben-free, although I could be wrong.

Lancome is also teaming up with Olympia Le Tan for its Autumn '17 colour makeup collection launching on 18 August but it looks too kitschy and unappealing to me, especially the freaky lip-shaped lipsticks. You can see pics of it here. Pic below by At Cosme.

Lancome Spring 2017 and Blanc Expert Collection

Lancome will release its Spring Rose collection on 2 January in Japan and 1 January in Singapore. The stunning star piece from this collection is the La Rose à Poudre face powder (8500yen) with delicate pearl shimmer (watch a video of it here). There will also be three limited edition shades of Juicy Shaker gloss (3000yen), a Palette La Rose (8000yen), Parisian Lips Le Stylo (4200yen, 4 lip duos), Ombre Hynose Stylo (4 LE shades, 3800yen) and Grandiose Liner (2 LE shades, 4200yen).

When Lisa Eldridge signed on as Lancome's new creative director, many had high hopes that she would rejuvenate the brand's makeup offerings. However, the collections that she has created over the past year have been sadly underwhelming with the Audacity palettes garnering rather bad reviews. The Juicy Shaker gloss also came off as more gimmicky than innovative. Hopefully this collection is a portent of more promising things to come. Pics below from Voce.



Lancome will introduce its third generation cushion foundation Blanc Expert Cushion Compact H SPF50+ PA+++ (5200yen for refill, 1300yen for case, 1000yen for puff) on 17 February in Japan. Formulated with essential oil for a glowy finish, the foundation applies with a non-sticky texture. Pic from Maquia.
