Lancome 'In Love' Collection for Spring 2013

Another Spring Collection that caught my eye this month is Lancome's 'In Love' collection. The lovely Emma Watson (aka Hermione Granger) is the face of the campaign and wow she looks stunning in it. She brings something new to the brand and opens them up to a younger audience too.
 I've been trying out two products from the range, Baume In Love and Vernis in Love. Needless to say I adore both of them. A La Folie,Cherry looks like a light purple shade in the buller but on the lips it comes up a gorgeous sheer pink. I think this would work well throughout Spring and Summer, it's so wearable. The product is also moisturising on the lips which is a plus for me because mine are always dry. I already featured this product in one of my past posts which you can see here. Now on to the nail polish, Rose Macaron is a beautiful fuchsia pink shade which I've been loving on my nail lately. The only way I can describe it is Spring/Summer in a bottle, you'd definitely get plenty of use out of this. In the picture above I used two coats but one would be perfectly fine. The polish gives a pretty glossy finish, I got so many compliments when I was wearing this on my nails. Something that I always like to hear!
Another new launch from the brand is their Teint Visionnaire which is being launched on the 14th February (Valentines Day). After the success of their Visionnaire serum, Lancome have brought out their new foundation which is a mixture of makeup and skincare in one. I've never seen this before so I was instantly intrigued by this product. I haven't tried their raved about Visionnaire serum but I've heard amazing things. I got matched to the shade 010 at the launch last year and I've already added it to my wishlist. You can see the foundation in action in one of my past posts which you can find here. It has a gorgeous natural finish which I love.This is one lovely product that I'm sure fans of the brand will love. The luxurious packaging is what first caught my eye, it's gorgeous. It's a bit of a all in one product, not only do you get a foundation but hidden in the lid is a concealer too. The foundation itself retails for €45 which isn't too bad for what you get.  There's 18 shades to choose from in total and I've photographed a couple in the above picture (LtoR - 01, 005,007,045,055). I can see this foundation being very popular indeed and I can't wait to snap up a bottle myself this Thursday just in time for my birthday.

What do you think of the new offerings from Lancome?

28 Days of Kisses-Day 6 = Lancome's Baume in Love in A La Folie, Cherry

Today I headed along to a La Roche Posay event in town for the launch of their new product, Nutritic Intense. I met up with the lovely Leanne beforehand as we had no idea where the event was on. We got a bit lost but we ended up finding the place in the end. I'm sure you've all read her blog Thunder and Threads, I absolutely love it. The event itself was held in the RHA ,such an amazing venue! I was brought back to my school days with a science class which was very interesting indeed. I was in even kitted out in a white coat and safety goggles, how fly. I can't wait to tell you more about the brand's new innovation in the coming weeks. I headed into town to watch one of the international friendly football matches with Paddy after the launch. Woo Ireland won! I'm literally just in the door now but before I head to bed I have to show you guys what I was wearng on my lips for the day.

Yes guys I cheated this is not a lipstick but more of a tinted lip balm. It comes in a tube so I thought it deserved to be included don't you think? Baume In Love is from Lancome's Spring 2013 collection that is now in stores. It's hard to miss with the lovely Emma Watson as the face of the range. A La Folie, Cherry may look daunting in the bullet but on the lips its a whole other story, a gorgeous pink tint. Like any lipbalm this doesn't have the longest staying power so it does need to be reapplied throughout the day. It's definitely one to carry around in your handbag if you having one of those days when you can't be bothered wearing lipstick. Seriously though for Spring/Summer, I can see myself reaching for this alot. As it's balm I find it really moisturising on my lips, on a side note the packaging is really cute too. Full marks from me! I do believe the Baume in Love are limited edition and there's a choice of three other shades which I'm going to have a look at the next time I'm in House of Fraser.

I'll leave you with some snaps of the La Roche Posay launch...
Are you looking forward to hearing more about La Roche Posay's latest innovation?
