New Guilty Pleasure

My newest guilty pleasure at the moment: Lancome Teint Visionairre Skin Duo Foundation. I recently had some store credit from Sephora and decided to gear it towards some goodies. I wanted something that included some great skin care, which would directly help my skin, as well as a medium coverage foundation. Most foundations nowadays that include skincare are BB or CC creams but they usually don't have a large selection of shades.

Now I originally picked up the shade 320 Bisque W, considering I have very warm golden undertones, unfortunately Sephora has the worst lighting. In store it seemed like a good match, but when I tried it at home, I looked almost ashy. I went back and exchanged it for 340 Bisque N, so far it is okay. But I will have to really take it out for a trial run before I make any final decisions.

On to the foundation and concealer itself, the foundation does seem to have medium-full coverage, a slightly satin finish which may be very well for those who have dry skin. While wearing it I nearly almost forgot that I was wearing it to be honest, most of the time I can "feel" my foundation & try to be attentive of it so I usually won't touch my face. I caught myself touching my face multiple times. The concealer itself has a creamy consistency, leaning towards the thicker side. I attempted to cover my pretty dark post-acne marks and it did OK. It sure isn't the best concealer I have used, but I will say it did not crease on me.
