ProduCt.ReViEw.- Guerlain Lingerie de Peau - Invisible Skin-Fusion Foundation SPF 20





Guerlain Lingerie de Peau - Invisible Skin-Fusion Foundation SPF 20
"Lingerie de Peau is a foundation in such perfect osmosis with the skin that it glides on like an extremely fine silk stocking. As invisible to the eye as to the touch, it fuses with the skin like an imperceptible second skin. Impalpable and secret, this shapely, silken veil renders the complexion sublime without artifice.ts texture is so supple, so soft that it melts deliciously into the skin. Uniquely comfortable, its formulation is so light it becomes transparent. Lingerie de Peau acts in absolute, weightless affinity with the skin to infuse it with light and freshness. Sublimely transparent, the complexion becomes as soft and radiant as silk.
A range of 9 natural shades, seeming to fuse so perfectly with the skin, it feels as though it were made just for you. The skin is coloured and evened out with total transparency. No colour is visible on the face; the complexion is simply fresh, radiant and disarmingly natural." Guerlain 
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: TITANIUM DIOXIDE 3.16 % - OCTINOXATE (ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE) 3.00 %.
OTHER INGREDIENTS: AQUA (WATER) - METHYLTRIMETHICONE - DIMETHICONE - ALCOHOL - PEG-9 POLYDIMETHYLSILOXYETHYL DIMETHICONE - PENTYLENE GLYCOL - MICA - PHENYLTRIMETHICONE - SILICA - ACRYLATES/DIMETHICONE COPOLYMER - ACRYLATES COPOLYMER - ALUMINUM HYDROXIDE - BUTYLENE GLYCOL DICAPRYLATE/DICAPRATE - STEARIC ACID - SORBITAN SESQUIOLEATE - PHENOXYETHANOL - ALUMINA - SODIUM MYRISTOYL GLUTAMATE - HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE - LECITHIN - TETRASODIUM EDTA - PARFUM (FRAGRANCE) - HEXYL CINNAMAL - SERICIN - HYDROXYCITRONELLAL - BHT - CITRONELLOL - ALPHA-ISOMETHYL IONONE - HYDROLYZED LINSEED EXTRACT - SORBIC ACID - [+/- CI 77891 (TITANIUM DIOXIDE) - CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499 (IRON OXIDES)] 051280
 
Comes in 11 shades. Blends easily on the skin with no effort. I also find that it is semi buildable with no "cakey" look. Looks extremely natural on the skin. Has a slight glow to it and has medium oil control. 
 Pricey for a foundation, but it's Guerlain, what else could we expect? Even though there are 11 shades, I could not find my colour. It is a sheer/medium coverage(I like heavier coverage). There is not even one single skincare quality ingredient in it! It is also heavily fragranced, therefore it is unsuitable for the eye area.  Another point is that it has ingredients that will surely clog the pores, for example, it contains 4(OMG! yes four!) differentypes of silicone AND not only that...it contains pure ALCOHOL! which of course will completely dehydrate the skin.

Again another liquid foundation, was iffy about it, and for a reason...... It did not offer as much coverage as I would like (as I have scars) however someone with pretty decent skin may like this. I do wish thathe colour selection however was better. Honestly, nothe quality that I would expect for the price first off.... and second for the name it represents..I would not repurchase this.

    • Ƹ̵̡Óœ̵̨̄Æ·..My thoughts: This one is one of my favourites that I tend to forget about. It is awesome for my oily skin without making me feel 'more oily'. At a great price and for sensitive skin, this one is a hidden gem.

    Ƹ̵̡Óœ̵̨̄Æ·..My thoughts: This serum is a little newer to the market. What attracted me to this one is first, the amazing smell of essential oils and plants as well as the fact that you can use it around the eyes and not just the face. I love that because it's a two in one! A little heavier on the texture side, I found that I did not have to pair this one up with a moisturizer.

    Dior Hydra Life Skin Energizer Pro Youth Hydrating Serum
    Claim to fame: An energy booster for tired, dehydrated skin.

    Ƹ̵̡Óœ̵̨̄Æ·..My thoughts: This little baby is new on the market(reformulated). It is wonderful. I used it on some make overs I did and really noticed a difference with foundation application and skin smoothness. After that, this little one has a special place in my heart.


    Guerlain Super Aqua Serum  OPTIMUM HYDRATION REVITALIZER - DESERT ROSE FLOWER COMPLEX
    Claim to fame: A serum that has enhanced hydrating power and revitalizes the skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles.

    Ƹ̵̡Óœ̵̨̄Æ·..Size/Price: 30ml - $150(ish) / 50ml -$198CAD
    Ƹ̵̡Óœ̵̨̄Æ·..My thoughts: First, this one smells divine; like desert rose. It is truly a 'cult' follower product. We often sell out of this one in my store. Sure it comes with a price tag. But it is almost justified by the quality. It is a little heavier on the texture side. My friend uses this religiously and he finds that it really helps with fine lines/wrinkles, especially for him, the nasolabial fold.


    I can never find a serum that fits my oily/acne prone skin without making me breakout. I really like all of these serums for different reasons. If you are looking to smooth out, perfect, hydrate or just get healthy skin - you should definitely try one of these serums. Adding one of these to your skin care regime will help your other skin care work better. And for those of you who do not know where to put it in your skin care regime - use it just before your face cream.


    Have you tried any of these serums? Do you use them already? Do you use serums? What's your favourite?
