Trying Lancôme products

Disclaimer: This post is out of my own discretion and I'm not being payed to advertise these products. They are all my own opinion.

Recently, Debenhams have been having all different types of sales and offers and the one that grabbed my attention the most was the Lancôme offer - Buy two products and get a free goody bag. Perfect, right? I've never actually purchased anything from Lancôme before but quite a few people that I know rave about it.

I bought the two perfumes La vie est belle and Hypnôse. My favourite one out of the two is La vie set belle and I think that it's my new favourite of all time! Closely followed by Elie Saab - La Parum of course...

Now, the goody bag...
Due to me never trying any Lancôme products at all, I was a bit hesitant when it came to the makeup but I have had no problems whatsoever and love all of the products. The goody bag included: A mini nail varnish, a mini mascara, a mini eye serum, a mini sample of La vie set belle, a mini lipstick, two eye creams and an eye makeup remover.

I have contact dermatitis and I struggle to find products that don't irritate my eyes when I remove eye makeup but Lancôme's Bi - Facil eye make up remover is perfect and it really does sooth my skin. There were also two eye creams in there. One being Hydra Zen Neurocalm and the other being the Hydra Zen Neurocalm Night Cream. Both are very easy to apply and not too creamy.

I'm very happy with the other products too and I will be purchasing the full sized versions when I have run out. The nail varnish that I got was a really nice rich pink colour and I think it will match anything that you wear; the lipstick corresponds too!
