Skin Deep: Lancome Teint Idole


Know what your favorite foundation is? I thought I did...and then Influenster sent me a lovely care package that they call a VoxBox, filled with Lancome products that rocked my world.


That being said...I have new favorites. I don't even know if it's fair to use the word favorite anymore now that they change with every new package I receive! I'm calling them my top 10s now, and my Lancome Teint Idole products are at the top.


Concealer:
The concealer I got is Teint Idole Ultra Wear Camouflage in 435 Suede (W). This concealer didn't come here to play games! I used it on my under eye area to brighten as well as cover up some redness from blemishes and acne scars. The product is powerful, so a little bit went a long way. On my under eye, I typically have issues with concealers being thick and ending up super cakey looking under my eyes, not this concealer! Camouflage is the perfect name. It slipped in, covered up my dark circles and was completely unnoticed. Even without foundation, this alone gave me a flawless finish. I applied with a concealer brush, then blended out with a medium moist sponge for just the right finish.


Foundation:
I have about 3 different foundations in my arsenal that I go back and forth between depending on what my skin is doing oil-wise and what shade I am. Since I've been testing out Lancome's Teint Idole Ultrawear Makeup Stick with SPF21 on my combination skin, I haven't had to go back to any of my others! I have the shade 460 Suede(w) and it is so perfect for my skin tone right now! This foundation gave me a medium to full coverage look without needing cake like layers, and a matte finish without needing a mattifying powder! It's the most light weight foundation I've ever worn, it really just feels and looks like skin! Avoid using extra oils on your skin before use if you have combo or oily skin. I layered this on top of a heavy face oil once and it did make the product slip a bit and look cakey. I tried multiple brushes to apply, but the best application I got was using a regular moist makeup sponge that is on the softer side. This was my first time using a foundation stick, but there wasn't anything difficult about it vs a liquid. It's actually a bit more fun to draw on my face with the stick!


Bonus Lash Love:
Influenster also sent me some products to get these lashes on point! I was able to try out Lancome's Monsieur Big and CILS Lash Booster XL. The brush on Monsieur Big mascara made me so happy. It's got a thick handle so it was nice to hold in my hand and easy for me to maneuver. I feel like this mascara really helped curl my lashes up, and gave me a dark dramatic thick lash that goes well with a glam look. The lash primer is BOMB. I tested it out under a few of my favorite mascaras and it really did improve ALL of them! Made my lashes appear thicker and longer and added no clump.





Overall I love the look these products gave me,  and so did everyone on my Instagram! The finish was matte and flawless. I'm so happy to add these to my makeup bag and fully recommend that you do too! You can pick these up at Sephora.

Vegas Bound: Christmas In Vegas 2019

Christmas in Las Vegas is really SUCH a magical thing. The Las Vegas strip sprinkles a little bit of holiday magic all over EVERYTHING, and it is so beautiful! All of our usual attractions, like the Bellagio Fountain bring the Christmas cheer with holiday music playing this season. I'd LOVE for the world to start looking at Vegas during the Holiday season, so here's a couple of things to be aware of, what's going on and my recommendations. SO, Vegas is not really less busy during the Holiday Season.  So don’t expect any holiday discounts or extra space it will be the general amount of crowded...if not a bit more! Buffets and full course meal/dine-in options are going to be a little more expensive b/c they are going to be WAY more decked out than usual. It’s cold as all hell here to me right now it’s like in the 50s all week so bundle up for that. But there are SO many things happening, most things are going to be open and at its usual hours except for like our l...

Why I Meditate

I love meditation. My life has totally turned around since I started taking time to be still and turn inward instead of always focusing so hard outward. There's no pressure to meditation, you can meditate for as long or as quickly as you'd like. You have no one to be accountable to, no one to impress, nothing to do but focus on yourself and take a moment for self-care. I started meditating probably about 9 years ago (don't do that math), but I didn't start doing it regularly until the last 3 years. It gives me the time to STOP reflecting on the day, stop thinking back on things I could have done differently, stop planning for the future and just be present. I practice some different energy healing modalities such as Reiki & the Seraphim Blueprint and use crystals and anything else that vibes with me to get in the zone. When I first started, I loved using guided meditations to "clear my chakras" or just talk me through relaxation and give my ...

Nikki On Vegas: The New Launch

Welcome to the new Nikki On Vegas Blog. I've had some huge changes in my life in the past year and a half that I needed to reflect into my online presence. The New New   Get a similar sweater dress here. Size up for maternity. About a year and a half ago, I was blogging regularly, all over social media and completely content to keep blogging specifically about Vegas and helping people have their best vacations ever. Then I got pregnant! I had a super difficult pregnancy and couldn't keep up with the lifestyle I had before at all. Since having my beautiful, amazing, miracle baby I realized that I have SO MUCH MORE that I want to talk about, share, and learn. It took me WAY too long to figure out how to do that and still provide the Vegas info, reviews, tips and tricks that I love so much. But! I'm back, the Vegas is still here, I've just expanded to much much more.  All of my social media will remain @NikkiOnVegas, so kee...
