Lancôme Visionnaire 1st Pre-view Event in Asia

I was among the privileged ones to attend Lancôme Visionnaire 1st Pre-view Event in Asia, thanks to Celine's invitation.

An elaborate yet confidential affair.

The event was held at an unconventional location - Redot Gallery.

The Brand Manager of Lancôme Singapore, Ms Jamie Ong.

The invention of Lancôme Visionnaire is Inspired by Nature.

The researchers discovered jasmonic acid, a“signal-molecule” for a plants' defence and healing processes. Jasmonic acid is produced when plants are damaged. This activates the healing of the damaged tissues, and also serves to make them more resistant.

Assistant Product Manager of Lancôme Singapore, Ms Celine Tan.

And, we had a sneak preview of the upcoming Lancôme Fall 2011 Color Collection by Aaron De Mey - 29 St Honoré.

Maison Lancôme

Created as a true work of art, this blush has all the allure of a pretty vintage postcard, telling the beautiful tale of Paris at the end of the 1940s. Its case is engraved with a golden plaque, reminiscent of the Capital's most distinguished addresses.

As for color, Aaron De Mey has created a universal harmony of tender rose, decorated with a delicate sprinkling of gold.


Aaron De Mey's tips:

"Blend the three shades with a brush, then use generous movements to sweep them up towards the temples, sculpting cheekbones and brightening the complexion."

Les Eillades 02 Blondette Fatale

Its four subtle, matt and iridescent shades effortlessly enhance eyes and define eyebrows. Everything a woman could ever need is contained within this precious case, its golden plaque recalling that outside the most prestigious Parisian address.

 

Aaron De Mey's tips:

"Use matt shades to sculpt the eyes, then the glistening shades to highlight the inner corner of the eyes, around the eyebrow arch or just at the centre of the eyelid. The eyeshadows are even more intense when moistened, making them perfect for lining eyes.

Applied using a small, bevelled brush, they can also subtly fill in and define eyebrows. Classic, simple and elegant...

This palette captures the very essence of Lancome's timeless chic."

To think I forgot to take photos of the Le French Touch Absolu lipstick (Rouge 29, Rouge Saint Honoré, Rouge Faubourg)......

Inside, its silky formula, rich in Pro-Xylane™, nourishes and replumps lips.

  • Rouge 29 - a slightly blue blood red, swathed in mystery
  • Rouge Saint Honoré - this season's star, a passionate and provocative red, simply laden with pigments
  • Rouge Faubourg - a captivating carmine, incredibly rich in red flecks of glitter

 

Aaron De Mey's tips:

"Depending on the intensity you're looking for, apply Le French Touch Absolu with fingertip for a tattooed lip effect, or with a brush for laquered lips with a perfectly defined contour. Why not dot a little to gently flush your cheekbones: instant healthy glow guaranteed."

My companion for the night - Sharon.

Check out the models' bold red lips! Absolutely stunning!

This is the 1st biometric diagnosis system measuring 15 clinical parameters in under 15mins(!!) - Lancôme Diagnôs Advanced Biometric System.

(Available at Lancôme TANGS Orchard as of 1st Aug 2011. Call TANGS Orchard at 67370095 for the complimentary one-to-one skincare consultation.)

The Diagnôs Advanced Biometric System uses facial recognition to identify seven key areas (forehead, eyes, cheeks, lips, chin, neck and facial contours) in order to produce a comprehensive facial mapping.

Equipped with two innovative probes developed exclsuively for Lancôme, which precisely measure four clinical skin parameters.

Check out my (real) lashes! Lancôme Hypnôse Precious Cells Mascara works pretty well yea?

The first measures hydration and pore size using a biometric scan.

The second assesses firmness and detects the presence of patches of flaking skin caused by skin dryness.

The moment of truth. Hmm.. I need to look more into skin hydration. Relatively good skin, but far from perfect.

This is the retail size (30ml), $150.

The bottle draws its inspiration from a high-technology mix of glass and metal. A fusion of silver and malachite green, as if crossed by a laser beam.

My 1st impression of Visionnaire? A refreshing feeling upon application. A pleasant scent which goes well with me. The texture is slightly watery, which is easily absorbed into skin. No sticky feeling after which.

An exclusive Visionnaire lab sample, which I've been diligently use for a week or so. So far, I'm lovin' every bit of it. My complexion is getting better day by day. No joke.

I can now see why 2 out of 3 women tempted by a cosmetic procedure decided to postpone it! One can achieve skin perfection without having to go under the knife, just by using Visionnaire. It is that powerful!

 

Lancôme Visionnaire [LR 2412 4%] will be available at all Lancôme counters from 1st Sept 2011 onwards.
