I had been using the same foundation for years, it is the lancome 24 hour and has always been brilliant. However, I was having trouble with it not sitting right for about 6 months. I went to see my lancome lady and was considering switching to another foundation. My lovely lancome lady suggested that it was probably more likely to be my moisturiser. (Just hit the big 30, the skin is getting a little dryer uh oh)
So, I re-purchased my usual foundation and a primer and as luck would have it, it was lancome gift time!
I got a decent sized sample bag containing this moisturiser as well as a whole lot of other super awesome stuff.
I have been using this moisturiser for over 2 months and sadly ran out of it today! (My mum gave me her gift sample too,lucky me!)
It has been fantastic! It has a lovely smell that isn't too overpowering, it is quite a heavy cream but does not leave the skin greasy. I've found my foundation sits nicely over it even without a primer and I have had many compliments on how lovely my skin looks and it is the softest it has ever been. Oh and those lovely frown lines I have started getting definitely look a little less scary, much smoother. (Got asked for ID buying wine last week so it must be doing its job. Yay!)
I love the packaging as purple is my favourite colour, the only thing I would say about the packaging is I personally prefer moisturiser with a pump so I don't get it under my fingernails!
Downfall with this product ... As with all lancome products it is just so darn expensive! If I suddenly become rich I would happily repurchase, but sadly I am going to have to hunt for a more affordable option.
I have gotten this as a free gift with an order and I have fallen in love with this!! It gives my skin such a smooth and glowing finish. It also helps my makeup stay put during the day too. Pricey, but such an amazing product and I'm so tempted to repurchase this.
