Lancôme for me has always been an issue, every product I've tried has either burnt or made my skin red so when I was offered a free trial, I'd heard good things about this product from a friend so I thought I'd rather not PAY to be a masochist and try this product but be a masochist for free and I will tell you one thing: ANYONE with sensitive skin like me who's scared of Lancôme that will fork out the money for a good skin corrector to help combat those three evil critters, wrinkles, pores and uneven skin tone, DO IT because this did not AT ALL sting, burn or make me look like I had some horrible disease, they've obviously improved their formula since I last tried this product. Also a warning, waste a few pumps because even after shaking the first few pumps of my Visionnaire smelt like pure chemicals but after those first few pumps it had a pleasant fresh smell As with all Lancôme I used to believe the packaging made up for the quality of their products, personally. Their packaging is beautiful, something you'd see more for high-end toiletry sprays or perfumes than for a skincare product so, I'd definitely rate the bottle that Visonnaire comes in at a 5/5 As for how well the product works because that is the most important thing, not the pretty packaging or the price but if it really DOES work, especially how expensive it is. I'd say it maintained my skincare routine, which I switched my Diorsnow serums for this product and it kept up appearances and also, this seemed to make my pores smaller than the Dior range did so, when comparing Lancôme to Dior and in me saying that it not only maintained my regime but seemed to make my pores a little smaller it is definitely a product to be considered if you're paying more for your correctors.

It might be great for people with dry skin but when you have combination skin like me with an oily t-zone and part cheek even with powder you skin like Christmas lights. I just believe olay regenerist is too much to add to a foundation.

Both myself and my mother love this product until it's time to wash it off; it's DEFINITELY long lasting and doesn't go astray from your eyelashes throughout the course of the day/evening. I'm not very frequently a mascara user but I do love this mascara as you can more easily than other products control the amount and the depth that it brings to your eyelashes more so than other products that give you instant chunky looking eyelashes no matter how much you wipe off the brush.

I always have a criteria for testing a new product. That criteria being packaging, let's face it, if it's ugly packaging you're not going to want it, after all it's meant to be a BEAUTY product, right? Then there's the scent of the product as I'm very fragrance sensitive and easily get headaches if the ingredience in products are too strong. I also look for ease of use, how it feels on the particular part of my body but most importantly, the end result of using the product so I'm going to go through them 1 by 1 in this review starting with the packaging Packaging: 5/5 – If this was on a shelf with a dozen other products of its kind this is definitely the packaging that would catch my attention first. Also, the added little design on the bottle poking out from the box would make me want to investigate further. It's those little extra touches that give it a perfect score. The bottle actually reminds me of those jackets you get with the bulky, sci-fi shoulders, not that that's at all important but it just does and it's surprisingly light weight for a 30ml, quite thickly glassed bottle. One little minor complaint is the length of the actual 'brush arm'. I know it's a big ml bottle but it's not quite suitable for those of us who tend to have days when we're a tiny bit shaky and need a shorter handle to have a steadier and more cleaner application but I didn't fault the product for that.
The products texture, consistency, how it feels on your nails. 4/5 – The actual treatment itself reminds me of a milky light olive oil but it's consistency is VERY misleading. If you just open the bottle and let it drip off the brush it appears to be quite a runny, semi-thin liquid but be warned… when you start to apply it to your nails it's quite thick so make sure to wipe of not only the brush but use that famous twirly motion to clean off the arm of the brush also to eliminate any run off that could spill off onto your fingertips and cuticles which you are recommended to avoid. Just a sidenote on this product because it's something I've never experienced before, I did 1 hand first then the other and the hand that I had done, it made my fingernails feel lighter than air, like they were non existent as opposed to my other side where my fingernails felt heavy in comparison, it's a unique and nice feeling. It also feels cold when applied onto your nails, more cold than a slight chill like normal nail polishes would have you experience.
Product smell 3/5 - I give it a 3/5 because my nose is EXTREMELY fragrant sensitive, I only have to smell some perfumes and I've got a headache that requires sometimes a lay down and/or quite a few headache pills. This product though is mildly strong on application, I don't recommend you sticking your face to close while applying if you're like me but as the drying process begins the smells change and fade to the point where, on completion of drying you literally have to stick your finger up your nose to get a faint waft of a scent which is why I LOVE this product; if only it were like that from start to finish it'd receive a 5 Ease of use: 5/5 – First day 2 coats then one every day is definitely a regime that EVERYONE has time for because it doesn't actually take that long to dry and the removal process is quick also therefore it's definitely time efficient.

The clinique 3-step system is a tried and true system for maintaining healthy, clean looking skin. I've tried proactiv and other clarifying lotions and Clinique I will say is the one that's given me the best results and has also been the least harsh on my skin. Other products feel like you're wiping a hotplate across your face but this is soothing, feeling like you're rubbing a warm piece of ice across your face and for sensitiver skiners like myself Clinique is a godsent.

The Blush isn't extraordinary in comparison to any other blush you can acquire on the market today but I've found that the best brush you CAN acquire on the market, well for me anyways, is the blush brush from clinique. It allows you to control the amount of blush perfectly which is great for someone who doesn't like to look overly made up on the cheek area.

I love the feel of this product on your face and it does remove oil from your face and leave it feeling soft but without the oily residue on your hands with a swipe across the cheek.

I tried this to see if it was better than the original 3 step system and I found it to be more harsher on my skin. It's more expensive and it's more harsher on my skin. Now I'm not going to say anything bad about this product because it may be due to the fact that I don't have regular breakouts so I got a product that wasn't designed for me I just got the original system to keep my skin clear and under control. I will say though, the few times while using when I did get a blemish it cleared them up fast so for that reason I'll say excellent things about the product. :)

I think it's great for a moisture boost and to make your skin feel SOOOO relaxed you want to take a snooze immediately after use but it's not a combat tool for anti-aging if that's what you're looking for. It DOES however reduce redness, puffiness and it is also the only eye cream of its kind that's not given me white heads from constant use.

Build it up and allow some time in between before applying more layers if need be. Depending on your skin at time of application coverage can be slightly off.
