I’ll admit, what initially drew me in to look at the Jason Wu for Lancôme display was the cute little bag you got with any palette purchase. It was too small to use as a makeup bag (for me, anyway… because I have hoarding issues) but I thought it would be adorable to keep kid essentials in (band-aids, hand wipes.. the usual) and still look like a classy momma. It was the push I needed to buy a few products from the counter at Nordstrom. Also, I’m a sucker for pretty packaging and the little floral decor is subtle and gorgeous!
The first item I want to talk about is the Lancôme Midnight Floral Color Design Eye Brightening All-in-One 5 Shadow & Liner Palette ($50.00). The 5 shades are meant to work well together and coordinate flawlessly. Each is marked for wear you need to put it on your lid, but if you’re like me you probably just went ahead and did what you wanted with the colors.
The shadows in this palette are soft and silky. They apply well and last the day without creasing. Midnight Floral is a great palette for a day look, work look and will be super easy to transition all of that into a killer sultry night look.
The shades are swatched below dry and with no primer, though with my eye look I did use Urban Decay Primer Potion as a base.
Unfortunately, as beautiful as the Lancôme Atlantic Blue Artliner is, it was a huge dud for me. I actually spoke with a Lancôme MUA just this past week who said they get a ton of returns on that particular product (not just the one from Jason Wu, the entire range of Artliner). So much so that she recommends the 24H over the regular Artliner because they’re fantastic to work with. I personally haven’t tried the other, so if you’ve had the opportunity to test out both I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments! Anyway, as you can see below the liner was patchy to apply. No matter what I did (shaking it up, letting coats dry in between, using different sides of the applicator) nothing helped. This was seriously the best I could do with it and this is coming from someone who had no issues with the Benefit They’re Real Push-Up Liner on the first attempt. It took me 10 minutes to get the line on my eye below and it still looks bad.
Overall, yes to the palette, no to the liner. Have you tried anything from the Jason Wu x Lancôme line? What are your faves?
The Jason Wu for Lancôme collection can be purchased at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Dillard’s, Macy’s and lancome-usa.com.
Love the palette! Your eyes are gorgeous!
what a stunning collection!! The floral design is what’s really making these products tempting! The eyeshadow palette and blush duos seem really promising…

I love that bag it is so elegant. It’s too bad about the eyeliner. The shimmer in the eyeshadow is a bit too much for me even though the colors are gorgeous.

I would have went for the collection solely for that bag, too! It’s too bad the eyeliner was a dud (especially at that price) 🙁

Big shame about the liner, it was one thing I was considering and if you can’t use it I would have absolutely no hope!

Thank you!
That whole look is gorgeous on you!
Years ago, I bought a blue Artliner from Lancome that was my absolute FAVE. It was my precious. And, it was long before I was really into makeup and didn’t know that it wasn’t going to be around forever. They’ve brought back several blues, but not that particular one… and one day, the felt tip just shattered. Fell into bitty pieces, along with my heart. I haven’t bought another one since…

That palette is beautiful, too bad about the liner though! I have the Fuchsia Veneer polish from this collection and its so perfect for fall!

That bag is seriously classy. I love Lancome and swear by many of their products but the Artliner was a big dud for me on swatching itself. I want this palette, though.
