Angie has reviewed La Prairie cellular treatment liquid foundation with SPF before, but I thought I'd mention it too.
Customer service is practically non-existent in Italy so I never stop by La Prairie counter unless my sweet Clara is there. She's a very knowledgeable specialist, and listens to my every skincare need. She sold me the undereye treatment (a concealer) last year.
I asked her about La Prairie foundations and she gave me these.
A sample in shade #100 for both the liquid foundation and the Caviar cream foundation. I've used the liquid foundation on two separate days and am very happy with it.
The first time I used it, I applied it with a foundation brush, and the result was much too pale. I think the brush picked up too much product and soon my face got oily.
But the second time I used it (today), I warmed up the product on the back of my hand, and applied a thin layer, as if it's a moisturiser, with my fingers. The result was wonderful: extreme comfort and all-day moisturising without being oily at all. The colour also looked much more natural. I will definite purchase this foundation after I finish the sample.
For those of you who have been reading my blog, you might notice that I don't do any major hauls. I absolutely cannot buy for the sake of quantity, but only quality.
This past week, I got Giorgio Armani luminous silk powder compact, and two Italian brands: Royal Effem (Laboratori Royal) lipstick and Nouba wet & dry eye shadow.
The packaging is very minimal. I love Guerlain and YSL's fancy casings too, but packaging is not something that affects my decision to purchase.
The powder is in shade #4, the lipstick is Totally Gloss #LU25, and the eye shadow is Nombra #329.
Looks coming up this week!
