I would use the Bi-Facil first, because I have heard such amazing reviews of this product. I’m on a mission to find an eye makeup remover that works well and doesn’t leave my skin feeling oily, so this could be my miracle product.

Cynthia B. Avatar

Definitely the Mandarin Sky blush! I’ve been in love with it since I’ve seen it on your site. Unfortunately Lancome.ca doesn’t list it, and my counters never have it in. 🙁

Cindy Avatar

Shimmer Mandarin Sky, no question about it. I have Shimmer Pink Pool and Shimmer Mocha Havana and love them both. An addition from the same family would be very welcome.

Mora Avatar

oh, i would use the blush first.
i felt in love with mandarin sky the first time i saw it on your blog month ago. its such a beautyful color, but this shade isn’t available in europe.

Essie Avatar

I would definately try the mascara first because here in holland its much more expensive and for me a bit too much for mascara.. Allthough the curiosity for a oscillation mascara stayed 🙂

Maria Mora Avatar

I would love to try the Oscillation Mascara first.
I have read many great reviews on it but it is pricey for a mascara and I prefer try it out first to know if its as good a mascara as everyone claims.
=)

Megan Avatar

I really want to try out Mandarian Sky. I remember seeing on your blog that it was a close cousin of Stereo Rose and I would like to see how it looks on me!

Kat Avatar

Either the lipstick or mascara – they’re the quickest to put on first to try on =) And i haven’t tried the vibrating mascara before, I’ve heard so many good things about their mascara line. It’s just out of my price range!

<3

Sera Avatar

Definately the blush first! Im currently obsessed with blush now! i never used to be particular about blush but suddenly an obsession hit me. however realistically speaking i’d probably be so excited to get this id use them ALL as soon as i do! =D

Alexis Avatar

I’d try the blush first. THe color looks beautiful, and since I don’t have a big range of blushes it would be nice to find another one to my make-up collection. The mascara would be the next thing I’d try!

wiwin Avatar

I’d use the Oscillation mascara first. I’ve never seen it up close, and I’m pretty intrigued at what it’s going to do to my lashes. I would be very excited to even turn it on!

Ruoxue Yan Avatar

I’d try the lip stick first, the color looks a bit intimidating, but I’d like to play with it and see if I can make it work with light eye make up.

Haley Avatar

I would use the Bi-Facil.. since the makeup remover I’m using right now burns my eyes! Bi-facil is so nice and comfortable and doesn’t leave a residue 🙂

Brynn Avatar

Oscillation Mascara!!! I’ve wanted to purchase this for the longest time, but I’m really trying to hold off on buying $30+ mascaras! … I feel myself breaking that soon.

Sylvia Avatar

The first item I would use would have to be the vibrating mascara, because I’ve never tried one before and it would be quite an interesting experience.

Brian McDowell aka Roulette Avatar

I love Coral and Orange on cheeks so I would probably use the Mandarin Sky blush first, although I have never tried a $30+ mascara before so I am very curious to see a difference. Got to be GOOD to beat my MAC Studio Lash. Its my Holy Grail mascara.

phuongk Avatar

i’d definitely use the oscillation mascara first because i haven’t tried an oscillation mascara before (i know, i’m sooo late) and because my lashes are oober short, being asian and all!

ALEXES JAN Avatar

i would definitely use the oscillation first because i am on a CONSTANT and NEVERENDING search for the perfect mascara. i use definicils and hypnose by lancome in addition to voluminus, lash blast, 2000 calories, aqua lash, lash stilleto, double extend, falsies and ANY OTHER mascara that i can get my hands on. I LOVE LASHES!

Mary Grace Avatar

My pick to try first would def be the Oscillation Mascara first. I’ve obsessed with mascara & I’m always on the hunt to find my HG mascara :]

natasha m Avatar

I would definately use the oscilating mascara to start with as i have heard so much about it and have nver tried it before. Sounds soo awesome!

kim Avatar

I remember your mentioning Mandarin Sky when Stereo Rose came out, I believe. I would use this first because it was so beautiful on you. (I hope I am remembering the correct shade.)

Carissa Avatar

I would use the Oscillation Mascara first because I haven’t tried it yet, however I would use every last drop of the Bi-Facil because it is the absolute best!!

Lucy Avatar

Please enter me in the giveaway. I love Lancome products. I already use Bi-Facial. It’s a terrific eye makeup remover. The best I’ve ever used. I’d try the Lucky Kiss Matte Lipstick first. I adore lipstick. I have many Lancome lipsticks but not any of their mattes. Thank you.

Erica Avatar

Bi-facil! It’s one of my eye makeup remover but I thought it’s too expensive so I switched to something else. If I have a chance I would LOVE to use it again!

Keira Avatar

I would most definitely use Oscillation Mascara first. I’ve heard so much about it, just havent gotten around to buying it.. I’m scared to spend that much.. haha. 🙂

Anne Avatar

The Mandarin blush – so pretty!!
PS- can you review Lancome’s newest foundation? I’m really curious about whether it lives up to its claims!!

Teresa Avatar

OMG! I’m so excited about this! Lancome has recently become one of my favorite brand. I would use the blush first because I was thinking of buying their blush and try it out, plus the color looks stunning. Thank you for this!!

SteffyP Avatar

I love the bi-facial and I haven’t tried the mascara, but I love Hypnose! I would love to try the blush first because I am looking for a new one 🙂

Felicia Avatar

I would use the Oscillation mascara first, Because I’m a mascara junkie. 🙂 I’d wear everything together actually. If it doesn’t look too bad together in person.

Carol L Avatar

To tell you the truth I would prob use the bi facils first. I’m big on taking my MU off when I get home. I like having that fresh just washed face feeling.

Jaymie Avatar

I would use the Oscillation Mascara because I’m always searching for the new Holy Grail mascara and I’ve also heard good things about it. If it can hold my straight asian lashes then it’s a winner!

Mandi Avatar

That’s a really hard choice. But I’d say Lucky Kiss Matte Lipstick because I’ve never really had an opportunity to try a matte lipstick, but I love the way they look!

Dalvys Avatar

I would try the mascara on first! I have always wondered if the good things I’ve heard about it were true! I’ve never tried a vibrating mascara before.I hope I win! 😉

Bree Avatar

Lucky Kiss matte lipstick! I have wanted to try Lancôme’s new mattes since they came out. And of course, Bi-Facil is the best makeup remover out there…

Valentine Avatar

I would definitely try out that mascara first. And I would hide the Bi-Facil because it’s one of my mom’s favorite products and might magically “disappear” if she caught sight of it.

Hinna Avatar

I would definitely use the mascara first, but the blush would be a very close second! My lashes are so short and I’ve heard great things about the mascara!! But I’m also in love with orange/warm blushes lately so it’s kind of a tie!

Caroline Avatar

All the products are so amazing… but I am such a lip junkie, I’d have to try the Lucky Kiss Matte Lipstick. What a BEAUTIFUL color! My lips would be SO happy! 😀

Felicia Avatar

I would use the Shimmer Mandarin Shy Blush first. Adding a little color to your face brightens up any look, and i love blush because it’s so versatile. I love to use blush as an eyeshadow or mix it with a clear gloss. This blush is gorgeous.

pandes Avatar

i used bi facil, oscillation mascara, and blush subtil, its amazing,bi facil removes all the waterproof make up from my eyes instantly, and the mascara makes my eye lashes looks fantastic.blush subtil gives a natural result on my cheeks. i love lancome.

Rosalie Avatar

I would probably use the Lucky Kiss Matte Lipsticks first since I’m dying for red lip colors that gives us a femme fatale/Pin-up/sexy vampire looks.
As my skin is very fair,the effect is stunning!

Tiffany M Avatar

I would absolutely use the Bi-Facil first. I’m always looking for good makeup remover since I almost exclusively use waterproof liner/mascara. I’m stuck using olive oil for now since it’s the best one I can find that I can fit into my drugstore makeup budget. :/

Kitten Avatar

I am joining this contest.

As for the first product I would use, it would have to be the oscillating mascara, first saw it at Michelle phan’s video, why? it’s something new that I’d like to try since it’s the first oscillating mascara in the market.

Scarlettscarlettninja10@aol.com Avatar

I would definatly use the mascara. I keep hearing such AMAZING things about it. I never have any time to go buy new makeup often. 🙂

Susan Avatar

I’d use the Oscillation mascara first; I’d be too curious not to. I’ve never tried a vibrating mascara wand and really wondered if it’s just a gimmick or if it really rocks…thanks for this giveaway!
🙂

Dazzle Me Avatar

I would try the oscillation mascara first because I have been looking for a new mascara, I get bored easily and haven’t really found any one that I love, love yet.

Jordyn Harris Avatar

I honestly couldn’t make a decision between the blush or mascara. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mascara. It’s me fave makeup product in the world but I also love a really pretty peachy blush. Ugh such a hard decision, especially since there both Lancome.

Shaynelle Avatar

I would use the Bi-facil first because eye make up is great to put on, however removing it can be so difficult for me at times, nevertheless i have heard amazing reviews so that would definitely be my first pick 🙂

sarah Avatar

ahh, Lancome! I’d first use the Teint Idole Fresh Wear because it is completely amazing – it feels like satin on your skin, and it’s so light weight! But I’m also dying for some more concealer!

May Avatar

Heyy, I would totally use the oscillation mascara first!! I love mascara… it’s a wonderful make up tool that can instantly open your eyes and make them look bigger 🙂

Marjo Avatar

Great Lancome give away, I’m a fan of Lancome and I love Lancome products. I’d use the Shimmer Mandarin Sky blush first because I have been wanting it for some time.. I collect Lancome blushes, they are sooooo silky and absolutely my favourite blush in the world!

Sarah A. Avatar

I would use the Oscillation Mascara first! I’ve been on the hunt for a new favorite mascara… My good ol’ Fresh is lovely, but not as dramatic as I’d like 🙂

Alexandra Avatar

i did a quick run through to see if i already commented on this post and didnt see my name, if i may have missed it im sorry, please put me in the running once for the comment on this post, but i would def use the mascara first! im a sucker for mascara!

Soo Young Avatar

I would use the Mandarin Sky Blush first because at a time when the weather is getting cold and everyone is getting sick, it’s important to maintain (or pretend to have) that healthy glow on your cheeks! then maybe the mascara 🙂

Kate M. Avatar

Shimmer Mandarin Sky!  It looked soooo gorgeous in your swatches and I’ve been
lemming it since!  Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

Lee Ann Amann Avatar

I love the oscillation mascara and bi-facial, so they cancel each other out.. so I would have to say the Shimmer Mandarin Sky Blush.. but all great!!!

judy Avatar

I would def put on the bi-facil first before putting on any kind of makeup. want my face to have an amazing foundation before i put on my face of the day/night!

Samantha Avatar

I would try the mascara first. I’ve heard great things about it and winning this would be absolutely awesome! Thank you for the contest 🙂

Lisa Avatar

I would definitely use the Bi Facial first. Then the oscillating mascara. I’ve tried the rest–the lash blasts, the stilletos, etc etc, now I want to try the best! 🙂

Gail Avatar

I love Lancome! All my makeup and face products are Lancome. I had so many positive comments when I post my picture after doing one of Michelle Phan’s tutorials! Which one I’d use first? I already have all of the above except for the lipstick. the oscillating mascara does wonders to my lashes.

Wendy Avatar

Im already using the bi-facil and absolutely love it!!! however.. out of the four product that were listed.. I would most likely try the shimmer blush. I <3 lancome blush and would like to try new colors!!!

Danielle DePersia Avatar

I adore Lancome. I have tried dozens of mascara in dozens of price ranges. Lancone is the only one I have found that does not burn my eyes, flake or leave the dreded “raccon eye”.

Thnak you Lancome!!!!!!

Phyllis Avatar

I would use the Oscillation Mascara my Cousin uses the Oscillation Mascara and she loves it and I’m sure I will also I alreay use Lancome eyeshadows and I Love,Love them…..RKsbabydoll

Jenefer B Avatar

I would use the Oscillation Mascara first, followed very closely by the Shimmer Mandarin Sky Blush and Lucky Kiss Matte Lipstick. The Bi-Facil would get used later once I was home 🙂

Sherry Avatar

I love Lancome. I have been wating to try the Genifique line for a long time. But it is kinda pricey..Have to convince my husband to get it for me:)

vinie Avatar

I would first use the Oscillation Mascara because it’s a true dramatic fascination that every women deserves to wear to enhance their gorgeous eyelashes 😉

Alkida Avatar

Bi-Facial it’s a great product and the best make-up remover out there and I used it all the time. Love love Lancome products all i use is from Lancome.

Cierra Hauck Avatar

The first I’ve ever used was the mascara.. I sort of bought it at the spur of the moment n didn’t know a whole lot about Lancome at the time. But after using the product that one time, I knew I had found something great. As a matter of fact, I’ve been buying Lancome whenever I can ever since! =)

Karen Avatar

Definicils Mascara was the very first Lancome product i’ve used, i just love it! but then i found the other new series are even better.
so, i’d love to try the Oscillation Mascara first!
anyway, i just LOVE Lacome!

Terry Avatar

I have been using Lancome for a gazillion years and absolutely love their mascara. So that is a definite for me! Their lipsticks and face creams are great!

Brenda Avatar

Definitely the mascara!!! Lancome has the BEST mascara anyway, and this is such a new and exciting technology that pairs perfectly with it. Can’t wait to try it!

Jessica Avatar

I would definitely be using the mascara first because i have been in search for a really good one and i have heard nothing but good things about yours!

Jessica Avatar

i would use the lipstick first… i’ve always been a lip gloss girl and this year have started to experiment with different lip colors. i’m realizing lipstick is much more fun than lipgloss!

Paola Avatar

The first product that I would use would be the Mascara. Lancome makes the best mascara and there is nothing more sexier than having some beautiful eyelashes.

Megan Pruett Avatar

I would DEFINETLY use the Oscillation Mascara! I can leave the house without a full face on, but I ALWAYS use mascara and either lip gloss or lipstick!!! And there is no comparison when it comes to Oscillation!!!

Liz marinacccio Avatar

I love Lancome cosmetics, but i do switch on and off to other brands. But under no circumstances will ever change my skincare routine. I will always swear by my Galatee Comfort milky cleanser or Cream Radiance cleanser (depends on the oil build up), Bi-Facil eye makeup remover, Tonique Radiance clarifying toner and Exfolliance Radiance gel. These are the products I absolutely can not live without.

Cynthia Avatar

30 years is a long time. That’s how long I’ve been using Lancome…since the year I got married!! & we will live happily ever after~me, my husband & my Lancome…

June Avatar

I would definitely use the Mandarin sky blush.Very lightly brushed across cheekbones , forehead & nose as you would apply bronzer gives a warm subtle bronzy look perfect for this time of year !

Riima Avatar

I definitely would try on the Oscillation Mascara first!! 🙂
I still looking for my holy grail mascara and I’ve heard great things about lancome mascara.

Carmen Alamoudi Avatar

Most definitely the oscillation Mascara because I love to play up my eyes. Lancome is well known for the best Mascara’s I am a believer just about everyone I tried I loved.

katrin elliott Avatar

i’d use oscillation mascara first and then bi-facil,the fastest eye make-up remover ever,to take it all off without iritating my eyes. love it!!

jessica rivera Avatar

I’d definetly use the shimmer mandarin blush first! Its the perfect color for a healthy glow every day of the year! I love lancome products nothing makes me happier than lancome 🙂

Eve Avatar

I’d use Matt lipstick first,cuz i use other 3 on regular bases, so i’m interested in the one i don’t use (i use Juicy tubes for my lips!). And the color on the pic. looks nice, esp. for fall. 🙂

Tara Avatar

Oscillation Mascara!!! Love the oscillation foundation, I’ve been wanting to try the mascara! A close 2nd is the nice peachy blush, all I have are pinks.

Anita Avatar

I would use both the blush and the mascara! Because blush usually comes last I guess then the mascara would be first x) I am a huge mascara fiend lol, it is one of the first things I went crazy over. I’ve been doing a good job at limiting mascara purchases, though XD After throwing away all the old ones I actually only have TWO right now. Wow, lol.

And the blush, because I’ve never been a huge blush person and while I find it can look a little nice, none of it really “wowed” me.

mariam Avatar

Overall the colors remind me of sunset from the mountaintops in California. The look I would create =

EYES: I would create a sensuous eye using SAFFRON, RANI, and MARVEL eyeshadows (the colors of sunset), and SIAHI fluidline as the liner.

CHEEKS: For cheeks I would go with a nice natural pastel-like look. SUR would give and nice natural color paired GANA as a light highlighter which could be used to contour the face.

LIPS: I would like for the lip to have some color, I feel like MEHR would work best with they eyeshadows. For someone who prefers a more natural lip YASH would also work paired with the FLESH lipglass.
