Lancome - Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector serum - Review - 3 Days Update

My skin has been loving this product!

I've been using the Lancome Visionnaire for more than 3 days now and I wanted to share with you my skin updates :)

The skin looks softer than it used to and feel smoother every day. The skin's texture has approved significantly only after 3 days of use! 

usually I put my BB cream with medium coverage to conceal redness and to overall even out my skin tone and complexion.

Today for the first time I didn't use any foundation or additional moisturizer. I only used my concealer on a few blemishes and  a transparent pressed powder on my T-zone for a matt look (see photo below). 

you can see that my skin tone looks even, no redness, pores are slightly smaller and less noticeable and the skin is well moisturized and doesn't look dull. 

Crossing my fingers to see even more improvement in minimizing those pores in a few weeks time.

How to Fix Broken Makeup - Step by Step Tutorial

Don't you hate when it happens?

your favorite powder product shatters on the floor cause you're too clumsy or too tired in the morning to hold things..

Before I found out that any broken product can be fixed in a few easy steps without changing it's color or texture I would get so frustrated on throwing away products that I love.

But not any more! I have to share with you this amazing trick that can save A-N-Y powder in a few minutes, and so easy too!

what you'll need:

• Small spatula or a spoon.
• Rubbing alcohol (70% or higher).
• Empty pan or container (you can recycle the original one like I did here).
• Absorbent Paper or tissue paper

How to:

1. empty the entire contents of the broken powder to a smooth surface like a plate or a palette.

2. use the end of the spatula\spoon to break the chunks and create a smooth sand like powder.

3. take a few drops of the rubbing alcohol and mix into the powder. 

4. mix till you get a paste like consistency and there's no chunky parts in it.

5. Fill in the pan with the paste.

6. Take the paper\tissue place it on top of the paste and start pressing lightly with your fingers all over the surface, you'll notice the paper will absorb some of the alcohol but the product won't stick.

7. Continue doing this while pressing harder every time you take a new tissue. until the paper remains dry,

8. leave the product to air dry for 24 hours.

9. And you're done! Enjoy :)

Lancome - Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector serum - Review - First Impressions

Hi All,

I wanted to quickly share with you my first impressions about a new product by Lancome:

the Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector.

I have received this product for a self-assessment test from Lancome and this review will be split to 3 posts series on this blog:

• The first, which is the current post you're reading, will be first impressions after the first use.
• The Second, after 3 days of use - updates about my skin condition.
• The Third, The "Close-Up" after 4 weeks of use + before and after results.

a little bit about the product:

Visionnaire [LR 2412 4% - Cx] is a second generation serum with the Double Jasmonate Complex and new smoothing ingredients that correct wrinkles, pores and skin texture in real time, and over time.

- In one application: skin feels smoother and softer.

- In three days: skin texture is refined and pores are less visible

- In four weeks: wrinkles, pores and skin texture are visibly corrected.

you can read more about this product HERE

I will start with my favorite the Packaging, it's so sleek and sturdy. feels luxurious and as always I love pretty packaging! (looks so pretty on my vanity) big thumbs up for that!

also, it comes with a pump which I will give it double points on functionality. It's much easier to use, you get just the right amount of product out and it won't contaminate the rest of the product because we don't stick our fingers inside - germs free :)

Moving on to texture, It comes out as a liquid milky consistency absorbs well into the skin, quite moisturizing and a non sticky formula. I think you can skip moisturizer completely, It gives just enough moisture on its own. For very dry skin types I will still recommend to use a moisturizer after applying the serum.

Scent wise, it's very subtle and fresh. It doesn't linger and disappears after a few minutes. I actually quite like it and won't mind if it did linger.

overall , like all new products in the beauty market lately, sounds very promising. I'm looking forward of seeing results in skin texture and pores visibility. 

I will describe my skin condition as: slightly large pores mostly nose and cheeks area, I do have some slight redness around my nose and mouth area not very noticable but still there and it's a little dry and looks dull. I will update you if I see any improvement in my skin so stay tuned for the upcoming posts.
