This March, Lancôme will be launching a brand new compact powder foundation, which uses the same AURA-BRIGHT™ technology to recreate an aura of lively brightness and inner radiance that comes from within.  If you are unfamiliar with AURA-BRIGHT™, do CLICK HERE for my write up & information of the Teint Miracle, which is the first foundation that uses the same technology.  Maqui Miracle is formulated on the same basis, except it has a higher SPF, and in a convenient compact powder form.

Incidentally, my Teint Miracle review and application entry is the most read entry of all time, if you are interested, or have not checked it out before, CLICK HERE to view.

A few of us had the opportunity to preview this latest offering yesterday along with a series of point makeup which I will also be showing in this entry.  I will be posting the LOTD and more information in a later entry this week.  Lotsa swatches and colours to drool over here!

The compact foundation comes in a sleek white casing with the trademark Lancôme rose emblem on the cover.  It is also re-fillable.

MIRACLE AURA

• Recreate your inner light radiance
• Natural, shine-free and brightening translucent finish

MIRACLE Protection

• Highest UV Protection with SPF35/PA+++ in a compact
• Mineral-rich formular, suitable for sensitive skin
• 12hr long-wearing

MIRACLE Touch

• Ultra fine powders adhere to skin for a poreless-smooth finish
• Light, airy sensation all day long

There is a range of 8 Asian specific shades available, and while swatching all of them yesterday, I was most impressed by how silky smooth and light the powder feels.  Can't wait to try this out as a foundation on its own, and also to set my liquid foundation.

The compact also comes with an exclusive luxurious duo sponge to create the ideal coverage.

We were also shown a selection of new colors for the eyes and lips, which will also be available from MARCH.  Here they are!

L'ABSOLU ROUGE

Wrap your lips in rich, satiny color with this deeply replenishing lipstick. Infused with moisture-boosting Pro-Xylane™, lips stay moist, soft and comfortable for up to 8 hours. Antioxidant-rich Vitamin E and SPF 12 help keep lips safe from environmental aggressors, so they’ll look and feel healthier day after day. The stay true color won’t feather, flake or fade, so your pout will always look picture-perfect.

I picked my color in the reddish coral shade #180.

#180 (not sure of the name)

Is gorgeous!  I will do lip swatches in my LOTD entry.

And next, are the L'ABSOLU CRÈME DE BRILLANCE. Again, lip swatches will be up in my LOTD entry.  I picked a matching shade to the lipstick.

With one sweep this gloss delivers creamy color, intense hydration and elegant shine. Its innovative formula features the most powerful anti-aging ingredient from Lancôme research (Pro-Xylane™ Concentrated) in its most potent form, to help boost hydration from within the skin. Lips are instantly moisturized and remain comfortable for up to 10 hours.

Lancôme will be lauching 4 new eyeshadow palettes, named the Ombre Absolue Impact 3D, which consists of a new palette to create beautiful sparkling eyes.  Each of the shades in the palette work together to achieve different looks from natural day wear to sexy high glamour.

Infinitely luminous.  Sensationally smooth.  All-in-one 5 shadow palette to brighten eyes.

Lancôme’s new versatile, all-in-one palette conveniently creates a full eye look for day or night.

And I picked this following color, which I will be using in my LOTD!!

It is touted as a high glamour and sexy look! :)

Swatches!

Can't wait to try out all my goodies!  Stay tuned for more information and these products in action.

Hope this has been helpful, and thanks for looking.
