Lancôme’s new spring collection is both tasty and modern. The brand’s spring launch is pastry-inspired and all of the products look good enough to eat! Pastries are all about texture, colour, and pleasuring the senses; which is true of makeup too, making this collection a winner!
The “My Makeup Guilty Pleasure” collection is pretty but don’t let the pastels through you off. This new launch is both edgy and daring at the same time. Pastels have been everywhere for a few years now but this year Lancôme is taking it up a notch by electrifying them.
Whether you’re new to makeup or are an existing junkie, you’re going to be instantly obsessed with these new products! From yummy textures to matte, icing-like finishes this collection has everything you need to rock the latest beauty trends for spring!
Here is what you can look forward to:
This adorable set looks exactly like a decadent box French desserts! Inside are 2 whipped cream blushes in “Rose” and “Lavender” as well as “Pistachio” and “Raspberry” Blenders. The blushers give a beautiful flushed look to the skin whereas the blenders provide a flawless application! There are also Les Petits Teints Macaron sets that include one blush and one blender in the same cute packaging! These sets are definitely one of the stand-out products in this collection!
This lip tint is arguably the prettiest lip product on the market. It is inspired by Flower Jelly Cake and gives the lips a subtle, healthy-looking tint. The product itself encapsulates real flowers and is as beautiful to look at in the tube as it is on the lips! Minimal makeup looks are a huge trend for 2018 and this lip tint will help you get the look while brightening up your complexion at the same time!
These creamy eye pencils are so cute and come in the prettiest pastel shades. “Bleached Flour” is a sweet pastel yellow and “Matcha Latte” is a gorgeous mint hue. They have a Crayola effect on the eyes which can be worn in colour blocks on the lids, underneath the eyes, or even on your brows for a more intense pastel look!
This 10 pan eyeshadow palette is a must-have for spring! Inside are 5 iridescent powdery shades, 3 ultra-matte hues, 2 sparkly colours, and a fluo double brush which is the perfect applicator for powder and creamy textures. The palette is the perfect mix of brights and pastels, giving you everything you need for a complete spring-fresh look!
These complement the Ombre Hypnose Chubbies perfectly and will give you neon brows, which are on trend for spring! Coloured brows are bold, but the pastel colours make the look more wearable. “Milky Rose” is a light pink and “Matcha Latte” is a mint green. Both colours are really fun and are sure to give you a bold look!
Absolu Rouge Lipsticks are a cult-favourite, and it’s easy to see why. The formula is super comfortable to wear while offering intense pigmentation that lasts! These 4 vibrant shades electrify the pastel colours in the collection and really amp up your look in just one swipe! “Strawberry Pulse” is a juicy red, “Crunchy Blueberry” is a fun purple, “Pink Acidulée” is an electric pink, and “Mandarin Zest” is a vibrant red-orange. Each shade will give you a bold end result which is super fun for spring!

Which of the products will you be picking up? I personally can’t wait to try the Les Topping Guilty Pleasure Palette and one of the Les Petits Teints sets!
Let me break down my feelings about this gloss. The packaging is stunning. I love the floating floral petals, and the actual container is a soft and flexible plastic that you kind of squeeze to push some of the lip tint up through a hole onto a slanted lip applicator. It’s functional, it’s compact, it’s pretty. It has a very gentle floral scent, but it’s like a whisper of fragrance, which is why I didn’t give it a five on that.
It was hydrating, because it had the texture of an oil. But the hydration was short lived. The oil texture made it so it doesn’t play nice with other lipstick because it dissolves it, and it slides off quickly and it a little on the sticky side.
The thing that surprised me most was all of the pictures of models for this product showed women with very natural soft rosy lips. They all had a very subtle dewy glow on their lips and I loved it. My lips however turned the same bright shade of fuchsia-pink as the oil in the container. It was super bold and unflattering, and because it is a reactive tint I couldn’t just wipe it off. I tested it on my husband (his arm!) and my sister in law who all have very different skin tones that I do and they also ended up with bold pink shades appearing. It truly surprised me and made this product one I will not be wearing again.
