Lancome My French Palette

After going through Sephora, Hudson's Bay and Holt and Renfrew and looking for spring collections of different makeup brands, my eyes landed on this beauty. How adorable and romantic Lancome My French Palette is ($68CAD)?

From the first look at it, I loved how compact it was. It is a great travel palette, as it takes little space and has wearable shades that are suitable  for every day.

Another thing about the palette that appealed to me was how aesthetically beautiful it was. The design of packaging is inspired by Parisian street style. We see a scene that looks like a street in a Paris park. In the inside of the palette we have an instructions of how to use the shades and are given two looks, for the day and the night.

Lancome My French Palette Shades

We have six neutral and three color shades in the palette: three soft pink matte shades and darker pink copper shimmer shades. Then, under the little door, we find three shimmer intense shades of blue-green range

The first one of the trio is an insanely beautiful shade of sea-green color and the one that struck me the first.

Then you have a shade that in the palette looks just dark blue, but on the skin is medium to dark greenish.

And the last color is something between black and grey and is perfect for the eyeliner.

It’s also evident that shades are of high quality as they apply very smooth and bend well. They are also rather pigmented which is a bonus.

Disadvantages:

Shades, especially the green ones don’t hold very long and after 3-4 hours they start fading, even with eyeshadow primer.

Overall, it’s great that there are some color shades that give more life and energy to the look .So, if you are tired from using only nudes and want to have a more spring and lively makeup, Lancome French Palette is a good addition.
