Lancome F&F * Holly Wants It All

Hi All!

I wanted to do a post featuring my Lancôme favorites since their Friends & Family sale is going on right now through Monday, August 27th. Receive 20% off all products plus free shipping using code FRIENDS 🙂

Below are my favorites that I use regularly and I feel are definitely worth full price, never mind on sale!

1. My all time favorite concealer is Lancôme Maquicomplet which is a full coverage concealer that I use to help combat these ridiculously dark circles under my eyes. I have tried TONS of concealers over the years and I always seem to come back to this one. I use the color Camee. Lancôme offers this in nearly 30 shades, so I am certain there is a color for every skin tone.

2. I have tried out several different moisturizers and Energie De Vie Day Cream is my current favorite. It smells sooooooo good, goes on easily, and is not a heavy cream. Naturally, my skin is super oily so I cannot use a real hydrating moisturizer unless it is the middle of winter. My summertime moisturizer is always a lightweight one and this one fits the bill.

3. I spent a lot of my younger years being tanorexic and although I don’t think my skin is totally horrible (yet), I am always trying out different serums and creams to keep my skin as youthful as possible. A couple of years ago I tried the Genifique Youth Activating Serum and used it twice a day religiously. I definitely saw an improvement in both fine lines and dark spots fading. It’s not something that I have purchase again and again as it is on the more expensive side, but on sale it is definitely a smart purchase.

4. This toner (Tonique Confort) has been a staple in my medicine cabinet for years! The light, floral smell is divine and I use it most mornings to help hydrate and moisturizer my skin after cleansing. If you are looking to add a toner to your beauty regiment this one is definitely worth buying.

5. A couple of years ago I ordered some Lancôme concealer and instead Nordstrom shipped me this Grandiose Extreme Mascara in a navy blue color! At first I was very annoyed, but after realizing that the prices were the same, I decided to keep it and try it out (I was really curious about the blue color.) Immediately after applying I was in love with how my eyelashes looked! I loved that it was a subtle hint of a different color rather than the basic black and the mascara really enhanced my lashes in both length and fullness and didn’t flake. I have repurchased this several times since and I would say this is probably my second all time favorite mascara (after Diorshow).

6. Lastly, Lancôme makes an awesome eye makeup remover. I take eye makeup removal VERY seriously. I always, always, always was the girl who would take off all of her makeup before going to bed no matter what. However, in the last 6 months or so I would take it mostly off, but I was just using Micellar water to take off my eye makeup. Apparently, it didn’t take it all off that well and I actually ended up with a sty that got infected and I had to wear my glasses for a month before it fully healed. 🙁 It was AWFUL. So never again will I be lackadaisical about removing eye makeup. Wal-Mart Equate brand actually makes a decent one and so does Neutrogena, but if you want to spring for the good stuff, then Lancôme is it.
