Thanks to Cozycot, I was introduced to Sampar, a Parisian skin care brand dedicated to the city dwellers looking for modern alternative skin care treatments.
Here's the full size Glamour Shot [30ml] that was provided for review. It claims to minimize wrinkles and imperfections in 1 min.
Here's the ingredient list, for reference.
Glamour Shot
It is the break-through introduction to Cosmakeup, an avant-garde concept that promises the experience and the result of make up with the simplicity of skin care.
According to Sampar, Glamour Shot is the 1st transparent foundation that
- instantly corrects wrinkles
- masks enlarged pores, redness and imperfections
- smooths skin texture and mattifies the complexion
Avant-garde Technology
- HQA Microlens, newest generation of soft focus, fill in furrows and lines so that light is reflected off the skin homogeneously, visually erasing imperfections and illuminating the face.
- Oat Extract provides an optimal and immediate lifting action.
- Encapsulated Hyaluronic Acid enables targeting of wrinkles and fine lines from within and plumps the face for a long-term antiwrinkles action.
- Urban Advance Complex, powerful anti-oxidant shield, the metabolic skin trigger reactivates the vital functions of the skin.
How to use?
- After moisturizing, apply a small quantity of Glamour Shot by smoothing uniformly onto the face from the inside to the outside.
- Apply Glamour Shot before make-up (powder, blush), taking care to let dry first.
- May also be applied at any time of day on make-up.
NOTE: It is not compatible with liquid foundation.
I also received Equalizing Foam Peel, Glamour Shot Eyes in sample size.
- Ingredient list of Equalizing Foam Peel -
Equalizing Foam Peel
According to Sampar, this is the star product - a foaming and cleansing peeling treatment [formulated without particles or artificial colors] that gives you healthy, radiant complexion and moisturized skin.
- brightens the skin by removing unhealthy and dead skin cells
- stimulates new cell growth to ease away fine lines and wrinkles
- boosts the skin's natural defense
Main ingredients
The probiotic enzymes soothe wrinkles and fine lines by a natural exfoliation. They deeply regenerate the epidermis. The essential oils (lavender, sage, savory, thyme and geranium) detoxify, soothe and rebalance tired skin.
How to use?
- Apply to the face, twice a week avoiding the eye contour.
- Leave on for 2 mins.
- Then, add water and rub into skin with fingertips. Rinse thoroughly.
- Ingredient list of Glamour Shot Eyes -
Glamour Shot Eyes
It is the 1st transparent under-eye corrector that brightens and smooths the eye area in 1 min.
- instantly erases dark circles and puffiness
- brightens the dark areas around the eye
- blurs under-eye wrinkles and fine lines
- provides a long-lasting anti-wrinkles action
It has an exceptional formula which has the avant-garde technology of Glamour Shot [HQA Microlens, Oat Extract, Encapsulated Hyaluronic Acid and Urban Advance Complex] + MIB Complex [helps eliminate puffiness and dark circles, thanks to its anti-oedematous, anti-inflammatory and veinotonic properties].
How to use?
- After fully moisturizing the eye contour, dab a bit of product under the eye with the applicator.
- Lightly tap with fingertips until the product is completely absorbed.
- Apply makeup after 5 minutes.
NOTE: It is not intended for use with liquid foundation.
Here's my thoughts based on one-time use...
- swatch of Glamour Shot -
Both Glamour Shot and Glamour Shot Eyes have an initial smooth serum-like consistency (face and eye respectively), which becomes creamier and silicone-like, upon application on skin. They are lightweight. However, they've this pretty strong chemical scent, with Glamour Shot being slightly stronger. Thankfully, the scent does go away after a while.
Immediate results can be seen - skin looks mattified and "fine lines" are instantly filled up, looking smoother. I don't think I need to fill you in which finger I applied Glamour Shot (:
On the face and undereye area, the difference is clear with Sampar. The undereye area looks brighter, with fine lines being blurred. It's like applying photoshop in real life.
On the face, my skin is instantly mattified, looking smoother and brighter. I won't say that my imperfections are 100% masked, at least 75%? I can wear it alone or apply a thin layer of powder foundation for better coverage. My skin stays nicely matte for about 3 to 4 hours, without a need to blot my face.
As for the Equalizing Foam Peel, it has the strongest chemical scent of the three. It feels quite mild, since it doesn't sting the skin. My skin does look slightly radiant after use.
That's all for now. Thank you for reading! TGIF (:

ReplyDeleteThey are meant to be quick fix for wrinkles and fine lines... so don't think it has long term effects?
