Lancome used to have an older “aunty” image for me when I first started getting into makeup and skincare. It was a place where someone like my Mom would shop at, not me – because I was young and hip and all that jazz! Tra la la!
But somewhere in the past 10 years, I’ve noticed a shift in Lancome’s focus and image. Now, they seem to have taken on a younger image and look a little less “aunty”. Or it might be that I’ve grown up and so has my tastes 🙂 You gotta admit though that the last Declaring Indigo collection and most recent O My Rose collection with Pop n Petrol eyeshadow palette are edgier than the old school Lancome collections.
Either way, Lancome celebrates their 75th anniversary this year and I’ll tell you of 8 Lancome products I’ve loved over the years – some of which I still keep firmly entrenched in my product cabinet.
Lancome Primordiale Nuit night cream
One of the first Lancome skincare products I used on recommendation of my childhood friend who told me that her boyfriend (now husband) swears keeps her looking young 🙂 Curious, I purchased a tub and though I stray now and again, I come back to Lancome Primordiale Nuit. I believe its got a new packaging and a new name now but I haven’t bought the new version yet so I’m not sure if its the same texture. I sure do hope so because mine is all but gone!

Lancome Flextencils Mascara
My first high end mascara and one I repurchased twice before finding out to my dismay that it was discontinued! Till today, despite the new fangled Oscillation mascara, my heart remains firmly with Flextencils. If you like, you can read why I liked Flextencils Mascara here.
Lancome Maquiliquide liquid Foundation
I never liked liquid foundation because of its heavy oily feel on my skin. When Lancome launched Maquiliquide it was a blessing because I can now wear liquid foundation without suffocating or turning into an oil slick! I still have half a bottle to go but once its gone, its a repurchase for me! You can read why I like the Lancome Maquiliquide UV Infinite foundation here.
Lancome Blanc Expert Spot Eraser
If you are like me with fair skin that is prone to freckles, or just have pigmentation, you might be like me and like the Blanc Expert Spot Eraser. It does help lighten freckles if used diligently and with a good sunblock in the day. Its been a repurchase for me 🙂 My earlier review on Blanc Expert Spot Eraser is here.
