Magical Moments with Lancome

This post contains affiliate links – Disclosure here

Your Life is made of memories, like a story book. I found that memories are much more than picture stories in your brain, it consists of all senses. I can have memories of feelings, certain scents, a special atmosphere, places, people, colors, music and noises…. and so much more…..

Lancome products have been in my life since I am a teenager, my first perfume I got as a present, it was “Tresor” – and it immediately makes me travel into my past and brings back memories…

Their new fragrance “La Vie est Belle” is a declaration of Happiness, it implies that a new chapter of Happiness is on it’s way. What an amazing promise and great association with hope and positivity. The new scent is uplifting but warm, it captivates memories of times past and points towards a beautiful new tomorrow. 

It has the elegant Iris as it’s top note, supported by the strong Patchouli and a sweet Gourmand. The bottle is inspired by a masterpiece from the Lancôme archives. A modern take on “The Crystal Smile” created in 1949 by artistic director George Delhomme. This bottle captures Lancôme founder Armand Petitjean’s vision of femininity, represented here in the shape of a smile.

Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Serum is a fast-acting anti-aging serum that reveals smoother, more radiant skin in as little as 7 days. This powerful anti-aging serum works to improve skin’s key signs of youth: radiance, elasticity, firmness, skin tone, and smoothness. It helps strengthen and protect skin’s moisture barrier.

No Skincare Routine is complete without a daily Serum. Apply after Cleansing and Toning and apply evenly across the face. As a special tip you can also mix a drop into your foundation to give a great glow to the skin.

Renergie Lift Multi-Action Day Cream is a daily moisturizer and anti-aging cream. It helps to lift and tighten the face but also makes the skin soft and plump. It helps to smooth fine lines and wrinkles and has a sunscreen added to avoid future sun damage.  This silky cream texture features hyaluronic acid to also provide all-day moisture and hydration. This cream is supporting  a flawless complexion – it is the ultimate lifting effect for younger-looking skin.

Definicils is the best Mascara if you would like to achieve a natural look. It delivers longer, high-definition lashes instantly. It also perfectly lengthens and separates  – no clumping or smearing. 

I always loved and still love Lancome products and so I was very excited to receive a collection of their best sellers to review. Thank you so much to Lancome and the Rakuten Network for sending me all these lovely products to try. Opinions in this post are strictly my own.

Thank you so much for visiting me here, it really means a lot to me,

Hi Ladies,

I have some amazing Beauty products to share with you today that I have been trying out for the last few weeks. Karina Smirnoff, who most of you know from Dancing with the Stars, teamed up with LA Splash Cosmetics and brought out a great line of lipsticks and make up, The “Karina Collection”.

I love the fact that all of their products are cruelty-free and gluten-free and are made only of FDA approved, domestically purchased ingredients.

In my pictures I used the “Karina Catwalk Mascara”, the “Art-ki-tekt Waterproof slim Eyeliner” and the “Velvet Matte Liquid Lipstick” in “Creme Brulee”.

I also tried the “Karina Smirnoff Liquid Lipstick” and the “Diamond Dust”, a loose pigment with very fine sparkles.

If you are a lipstick person this is a great product to have. I loved how the lipstick stays on the whole day, no smudging or coming off at all. I can use it for dancing and performing or for every day. It is perfect for a girls night out or dinner in a great restaurant – no worries about lip stains on the wine glass.

I usually do use lip liner if I wear a stronger lipstick because I feel it adds definition and prevents color bleeding, but with this product I feel I can go without. The applicator make it easy to define and contour the lips and the lipstick dries in quickly without dehydrating the lips.

What is your favorite lipstick? I would love to know and hear what makes it your favorite.

Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day,

brought to you by Karina Smirnoff Collection and LA Splash Cosmetics

It is a busy and very colorful and buzzing place – but if you pay close attention, you see that there are the top professionals of their trade at work. This is where the magic happens. Hair Stylists and Make Up artists have to move quickly and precisely to create the looks requested by the designer.

The hair was beautifully and intricately braided and knotted to create next season’s look.

Fashion Week is crazy busy – Models running on a tight schedule between shows, Make Up artists have to create the perfect look in minutes while some of the models have a bite to eat or are busy with their smartphones, hair stylists are creating the most intricate braids and knots in literally no time at all. It is highly professional organized chaos.

Thanks for joining me for a peek behind the scenes at New York Fashion Week.
