Lancome Advanced Genifique Sensitive Serum


Hello lovelies,

especially you (and me) who owns sensitive skin. We've been looking for ways to help tackle the sensitivity since it can make our life miserable. Imagine waking up in the morning and feels the skin getting pulled, taut, and perhaps itchy too. The dryness, the uncomfortable feeling where the skin have that redness. Many would just say, cover it with a green colored base, well, it's not just about the appearance that's bothering us (people with sensitive skin) but the whole experience itself.

It may or may not happen all the time or most of the time, but it happens. A lot of people that I talked to claims that either they've experience these conditions or still suffering from it, it can be a bad skin days or daily condition, either way, Lancome is here and they have a serum made for those days or conditions.

-*-




What it is:
A dual antioxidant serum boosted with pure Ferulic Acid and pure Vitamin E that is self-activated, mixing automatically inside a soothing base of Centella Asiatica to instantly calm distressed skin and protect against environmental aggressors like pollution, infrared radiation, and UVA rays for visibly healthy-looking skin.

What it does:
Oftentimes, environmental factors such as weather, travel, change of seasons, stress, and pollution can cause fragility on skin’s surface. This fresh serum instantly soothes skin sensitivities, such as tightness, overall discomfort, and itchiness and redness due to dryness, and provides antioxidant protection against future environmentally-triggered skin discomforts. Over time, this serum featuring a synergistic antioxidant combination of pure Ferulic Acid and pure Vitamin E, helps strengthen skin against free radicals induced by UVA rays, infrared radiation, and pollution, which may lead to visible signs of accelerated skin aging, improving the look of skin for a healthier-looking complexion.

93% agreed skin was comforted instantly
- Clinically tested to provide a significant protective effect against pollution fine particles
- Clinically tested to provide +80% increase in skin’s anti-pollution protection
Based on clinical and self-assessments.

Reading the details from the official website is amazing, right?! The product seems to be having a lot of good things going on and I'm so eager to try. My skin is eager to try, it's been looking and looking and looking. I've been using many products for sensitive skin, usually they are stripped off the fragrance, unnecessary chemicals that caused sensitivity, adding hydration or moisture, and so on, typical, but Lancome Advance Genifique Sensitive Serum address the problem and help by bringing comforts and protection, in the end, it strengthen the skin against free radicals to then made the skin healthier and for sure looking beautiful. Since after all, a beautiful skin, must be healthy.

-*-


Look at the packaging, details, information regarding the product, look at how the product freshly mixed, by us, when they are in our hands and how we should maintain it's freshness within 2 months.

-*-


Aside from the pamphlet inside the box, the whole box itself is filled with necessary information. So when you happen to see the product either at Lancome's counter or beauty store, simply read it and you'll get the whole idea.

-*-


A product that deliver testimonies of reducing sensitivity and anti aging in one. It's a product for perhaps anyone who lives in a busy city, with a packed lifestyle and what can I say, it's not easy to keep maintaining healthy diet, enough sleep, away from radiations like laptops, smartphone, and so on, and it's hard to keep everything intact. People who perhaps able to do that nowadays maybe someone who are very well blessed.

-*-


This is the product, there's the bottle where the ingredients are not mixed together yet. Please do watch this video on how it was mixed, the blue colored potion and my review.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfBpk5kjMIg

-*-


What do you think? They look awesome, the formula being freshly mixed like that, the liquid gel texture, the ability to be taken by the skin almost instantly, it's all there. I've continue using it since I made that video, which is a week after usage, and now, around a month, I'm still using the serum as a pre serum or serum.

Pre serum by using another serum that promotes hydration for the skin before moisturizer, or as a serum by directly using the moisturizer afterwards, it doesn't really matter, the product still works like wonder. It complete my skincare routine as it helps my skin in so many ways. Dryness is the first one, and then it does reduce sensitivity, and my skin does look healthier. Since the skin is comfortable, I also feel more confident in my own skin.

-*-


The overall complexion looks better, smoother and the skin appear softer too, like it was more relaxed. No more feeling itchy, tightness nor other discomfort caused by sensitivity. During traveling the skin also seems to be more resilience.

Since I've been using it for around a month, I think looking at the remaining liquid in the bottle, it is just enough for 2 months, so I got one more month, hooray!

-*-


Thank you so much Lancome Indonesia for the wonderful journey with Advanced Genifique Sensitive Serum.

Lancome Energie De Vie

Hello lovelies,

after going back from the event, the only thing that comes into my mind is the products and when can I try them all. So immediately, I tested and has been using them.

-*-



The complete set comes in 6 items consist of cleanser, toner and all the way to night cream or sleeping mask.

You can read more about the complete series HERE.

-*-

The ones that are given to me are Intense Face Lotion and Water Infused Cream.

Here's the details about the cream:

Formulated with Goji Berry, Lemon Balm, and Vitamin E, this newly formulated water-infused cream moisturizer improves the look of dullness, roughness, and dryness for a hydrated, smooth complexion, leaving your skin feeling energized and looking more rested.

Today's signs of fatigue could turn into tomorrow's visible signs of aging. Lack of sleep, high stress, pollution, daily life excesses—all these environmental factors alter the appearance of the skin. Lancôme’s Énergie de Vie is a simple routine, and extremely efficacious, that works to reawaken tired, dull skin, giving you an instant glow.

And Intense Face Lotion.

A jolt of energy for your skin! Énergie de Vie Lotion introduces a unique texture—a “liquid essence” or cosmetic water—which is an essential step in the Asian skin care routine before applying a serum and moisturizer. It rejuvenates the skin and promotes a healthy-looking glow while diminishing signs of fatigue.

Why add an essence to your routine? Essences provide an added layer of hydration to the skin after cleansing. For optimal results, use the Essence before your serum (we recommend Lancôme's Advanced Génifique) to boost the efficaciousness of your serum.

They look so juicy and refreshing.

After cleaning my skin, I'm trying the green looking bottle first that filled with clear, gel like water. It's liquid alright but almost like a gel in terms of texture but not yet. It was so beautiful.

I'm applying the product using a cotton pad, but occasionally, directly to the skin using my palm. My skin drank the lotion and glistening.

The formula feels so fresh and alive, it made my skin appear moist and supple, and ready for the next step, which is supposed to be serum.

-*-





I'm using any serum I have and it's fine. So far I haven't met any problem.

And by the way, while using the lotion, I enjoy the scent, it was green and lovely.

This is unique, definitely a mood booster. Imagine putting the bottle inside the fridge and use it when the lotion has become cold, it will be the highlight of the day, cooling and calming at the same time energizing. Waking me up in the most comfortable way.

-*-



After serum, I'm continued by using the cream. While the skin is still moist thanks to the lotion and serum, the cream blends easier on the skin.

The packaging design is similar to the lotion fresh green tone. It was a bit heavy since the jar is made out of glass while the toner is using plastic as the container.

-*-




The cream is white and feels rich. Lancome is famous for their texture that is light and suitable for those who are as young as 20 years old, so when I see and feel the texture I was a bit worry. It felt a bit thick.

-*-




Putting my concern aside, I smell them and it was so good, in sync with the lotion, the refreshingly green scent is definitely energizing. I love it.

I wish they provide a spatula thou' for the moisturizer that comes in a jar.

-*-



I blend the cream on to my skin and my concerns are all melts away, same goes with the cream, it melts on the skin. Doesn't feel heavy nor sticky moreover greasy. It felt moist and comfortable. The hydrating power last till the next shower, which is at night. It helps my skin to look radiant and fresh. Like it was a good source of oasis for my skin and at the same time boosting it's energy to look far less stress and vibrant.

Girls nowadays has to spent more time in work. Building carriers, starting new jobs, or those who are still in school (university or college) in the cities has to put up with many challenges in life. Lack of sleep and being so mobile has been our diet on daily basis.

Stress does something to our body, a good amount of stress actually make people strive, but too much stress and environmental problems do more damage than we can take.

Those in the 20's and 30's should have the best skin condition since up to the year 25, the collagen still working. After that, they'll slowly declining until around 30 and 40 where it declines even more and 50 when they'll stop.

Using the right skincare helps. Start from the moisture boost like given by Energie De Vie, followed with good diet and healthy lifestyle in general.

-*-




Overall,

Energie De Vie (especially Intense Face Lotion and Water-Infused Cream) provide energy, hydration and the boost my skin need during the day. It helps them stays 'perky', young and again, fresh. The formula is comfortable and as expected from Lancome, can be received by the skin pretty well.

Thank you so much Lancome Indonesia.

A seriously addictive lip oil with a pillowy-soft cushion applicator for a delicious shot of color with a hint of shine.

Shake it up with the latest innovation: Juicy Shaker’s bi-phase technology delivers the first pigmented lip oil with 2 distinct phases. The first phase is a transparent oil phase for a comfortable non-sticky shine. The second is the pigment phase for a shot of color. Shake Juicy Shaker like a cocktail shaker to mix the pigments and oil. The cushion applicator enhances application by delivering the perfect 'shot' of addictive non-sticky shine and a sheer tint of color to your lips that is simply irresistible.

The cocktail blend of 4 nourishing oils treats your lips like a lip balm. Peach kernel oil; a well-known emollient softens lips while Sweet Almond oil conditions and Cranberry oil provides rich anti-oxidant properties. Muscat Rose oil is rich in essential fatty acids and helps to soothe lips. So addictive, you won’t be able to resist applying it over and over.

Create your signature Parisian Lip Cocktail:

Here's mine in Freedom of Peach. In the image above you can clearly see the bi-phase of the oil and pigment. It was so like a pinkish orange clear oil and the milky pigment of peach. When mixed they'll become one glossy milky peach.

-*-




Twist and open the top where you'll find a cone-shaped spongy looking wand with the tips infused with color. The shaker bottle has holes in it, just like a cocktail shaker and yes, they act just like a shaker too, Juicy Shaker.

-*-


The pigments and oils all become like an emulsion so comfortable on the lips. It's so juicy yet not greasy nor sticky. It moisten the lips, making them feel hydrated. I can imagine dipping in the sponge again and again for re-hydrating, and the fruity berry scent is just irresistible too. Like I constantly want to feel them, lingering on my lips.

The sponge is soft and delicate, the formula is light and glossy, it was definitely unique and all in a good way.

-*-


Thank you Lancome Indonesia, another product worth collecting is now available.

Lancome #MadeOfEnergy #LancomeID #BanTheBoring


Hello lovelies,

yesterday was a busy day for me and I'm happy for it... well, most of the time. The traffic is not so kind but the events was worth coming for.

After a short rendezvous with the ladies back in my elementary years, I went to the freshest event ever with Lancome.  

-*-


After a while, finally another press event worth buzzing for is presented. Lancome itself is a brand that remains strong in Indonesia, and here are some of the why's.

The brand has products from young to mature. Their collection varies from skincare, makeup and fragrance. Soon they'll have a collection for body in the premium section.

On this wonderful occasion, Lancome delivers products for those in their 20's-30's. Fresh, dynamic and colorful.

-*-


Look at the hampers they provided everyone with, isn't it one of the most bright you've ever seen?!

Lemons, apple, jellies, and sweets are there, alongside with a cocktail shaker and products.

-*-



Let's start with Energie De Vie. A new collection from Lancome that boast for it's energising antioxidant moisture shot.

Made of unstoppable energy, the new Energie De Vie consist of the Foam Cleanser, Smoothing & Plumping Pearly Lotion, Refining & Invigorating Intense Lotion, Smoothing & Glow Boosting Liquid Care, Smoothing & Plumping Water-Infused Cream, and Overnight Recovery Sleeping Mask.

Their main ingredients and ideas are from goji berry that contains antioxidant properties, french melissa that stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin, and gentian that energize for a more resilient skin.

These formulas protects the skin against oxidative stress and also soothes and protects the skin.

-*-

Overall,

Energie De Vie is the skin's superfood to combat signs of fatigue. It hydrates, pumps, and illuminates, giving the skin the power to be 6x fresher & 6x more energized.

Seems like Lancome has understand that in ones life, we are the busiest around that age. Probably during our first job, first step in carrier, getting married, or in a lifestyle that seems to be with the highest stress and at it's peak. 20's and 30's are perhaps not yet settled and still figuring out everything in this life, the high level of mobility also occurred, hence skincare line that developed during those periods are made with energy in mind.

-*-



During the event, we get to make our own plants too, with the stones, pebbles, sands and everything in between. It was a lovely and definitely memorable event for me, and this is one of the reason. We get to made something fresh and alive for many moments to come, well, hopefully, since I don't have green thumb.

-*-

 
Being guided, I can make a very cute plants (since I don't even know the correct order, being helped us much appreciated) so you are supposed to put the rocks on the bottom, and then the black coals like rocks, dirt, sands and then rock again. There you go.

-*-



After the DIY plant, let's move to the juicy station where finally we can officially greet the Juicy Shaker, hellowww loveliesss!!!

-*-



Juicy Shakers comes in 20 adorable shades. And each of the product comes in this colorful oils and pigment color where we have to shake them first upon usage so the mixture become emulsion like and ready to be used.

-*-



The packaging is small and super cute, with a sponge like tip at the end that 'collect' the mixture from within the shaker, and it's really is like a cocktail shaker when looked from above.

-*-


The comes in many different colors and shades from red, orange, nude, pink to clear in Mint To Be.

It was like a gloss pigment.

-*-

I did some swatch-ing and find them quite sheer with lots of gloss. Perhaps the main focus is how moist they are and perfect for summer. It made the lips look super juicy and irresistible.

-*-

We can use it with lipstick or other liquid lip color when then the Juicy Shaker can be a top coat. Made the color more vivid or perhaps add gradients and 'juiciness' to the lips.

Or the product can still be used alone, I find myself imagining, like during traveling, where I want my lips to dressed up but still very much comfortable.

-*-


Still want to know more about the products shared here in this post? Stay tune as more posts are coming especially for you.

-*-


Thank you so much Lancome, see you again soon!

-*-

Play and experiment with the innovative texture and colors.
Shape the apples of your cheeks.
Add just a Hint Of Color to the top of your cheekbone.

-*-

I've been wanting the product so bad since, 1. It's a blush and I'm a blush addict. 2. It has a cushion form that feels so good and juicy when used, and 3. The shades are just too pretty. I'm loving mine for sure.

-*-

The container is just like any BB Cushion that you probably know, with the special sponge, and underneath the tab there's this luscious cushion sealed before usage.

Just toss it aside and the seal is no longer needed, damped the cushion with the sponge and enjoy!

-*-

Ingredients, details, are all written clearly on the packaging. It has that high quality signature where every details are given on hand.

As usual, the packaging is in mirror like material with black writings.

-*-


Below is me before using the product. As seen, I'm not 100% fully recover yet, hence I'm so pale and sorry for the lack of expression :D, I tried my best to take some images and made reviews. It help me get by.

-*-

And here it is, a juicy product that gives the skin ample color with high moisture.

-*-

It might be bold but after blending, they'll appear so pretty and irresistible.

-*-

The product doesn't stain, so when removed, they'll easily off from the skin.

And even thou it has a moist texture, I can easily use before and after powder.

When used before powder, it gives me a subtle rosy cheeks, while when used on top, it has a brighter color and gives radiance finish.

-*-

I enjoy using products like these since it is new and unique. There's a lot of cushion going on in the makeup world right now and it's always nice to see products that actually works.

But something that I would like for them to improve is the quality of the sponge for better application and blending.

-*-

In low light or bright room the cheeks stays gorgeous thanks to Lancome Cushion Blush Subtil.

-*-


What do you think, it is definitely adding some depth and definition to a pale skin, isn't it?! And since the color is pretty pigmented, those with dark skin can still enjoy the products.

They don't stain, but doesn't means that they don't last long on the cheeks, I hardly need to top them off when using the product, they last quite good and stays comfortable too.

-*-

Overall, a great product not to be missed, Lancome so far haven't let me down, their makeup and skincare, plus perfume are amazing.

Thank you Lancome Indonesia.
