I wanted to try some of the new Lancome products, so I asked a SA to do a makeover on me.
She used the new Lancome minerals in the lightest shade, Natural Ivory 10. She tried the next deepest on one side (she says they get lighter on the face) but she felt it looked too dark, so she used the 10 on the other side. I told her to just put some 10 on the other side, so one side is a bit more made up than the other. I'd prefer it a bit sheerer.
The SA said the foundation doesn't look good on everyone, but she loved it on me, that it gave me a glow.
Since I don't normally wear mineral foundation, I think I'd like to go in to see if I can apply it correctly before I buy it. The brush is super scrumptuous! It feels like velvet, just like their claims. I am going to have to get this, at least.
*The Lancôme innovation: skin-renewing White Sapphire Complex* helps fight visible signs of aging. Skin looks brighter, revived and feels softer for hours.
* Experience the velvety brush for a blissful, effortless, controlled application.
*11 luxurious, long-wearing natural shades – free of talc, oil and fragrance
*Aloe, Vitamin E, Mica, Alumina, Bismuth Oxychloride
Blush: I'll have to ask her. She started off thinking browner, but was glad she chose this. [Update: Sheer Amarose]
Lipstick: Groupie, a gorgeous color. I wanted her to do it by itself, with no pencil. After cataloguing my pencils, I'm simply not going to get another one. (Maybe, LOL!) Lippies will have to stand on their own.
Eyes:
Eyeshadows were a duo, I think Emerald, Green on one side, a sort of sandy taupe on the other. She started thinking apricot and pink, but wasn't sure. I said try the green -- you're sure??!! Yes, I knew I could wear the green. Loved this color.
After applying a base, she applied the taupy shade up to my brows, then the green. She used a green pencil on the lower lid, then topped it with more of the green shadow.
Mascara: Extreme Black -- I don't own this one, but I'm going to. Talk about lash power! I don't know how I missed this mascara.

She loved the lippie; prefers the way I do my eyes.
My take
Very pretty minerals, if they work for you, color and all. Loved, loved, loved the brush!! Loved the lippie and the eyeshadows.
How about you?
Do you own these shadow or lip colors? Do you wear the foundation? How do you like it on me?
