Loreal Lucent Magique Foundation in Gold Bronze

Hello guys...

I finally have my first ever foundation :) After reading reviews and comparing it, I bought the Loreal Lucent Magique Foundation in Gold Bronze. I started using makeup since High School years but I haven't gone to using foundations and BB creams yet during those times. I had only use powder, lip balm, lipsticks and eyeshadows. Just in 2010 that I began to explore more on makeup products. I became addicted to blushes and more eyeshadows... and now I am leveling up to using foundations. I choose the Lucent Magique out of tones of available foundations out there because it was recommended by my two favorite bloggers: Project Vanity with here post here and The Beauty Junkee with here post here. Most of my purchases rely greatly on feedback by beauty bloggers, availability in my place and affordability. I was eying this one and the Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse since last year and when I had the time to swatch it at the mall only the Lucent Magique was available and so I purchase it. Lucky me because it was on sale, I got it 50% off.

Loreal Lucent Magique Foundation - the first light creating foundation that illuminates every inch of your skin for a lively complexion. Light refined texture, oil free for a fresh moisturizing skin finish  with 24 hours hydration. Infused with liquid-light technology to bath complexion in a radiant halo, as if lit from within.

It is 40% Pure water blend for a perfectly flawless, fresh hydrated finish and sheer to medium coverage for that natural shine.

The packaging: a classy glass pump bottle with rose gold design and transparent cap. 

I got the shade G7 - Gold Bronze. Swatch on my hand... it just melts on my skin when blended :D The shade is just perfect for me for its yellowish undertones. 

The foundation is available in 6 shades {N2-Pure Porcelain, N5-Pure Honey, N7-Pure Bronze, G4-Gold Shell, G7-Gold Bronze and R2-Rose Porcelain} under three categories: N for neutral undertones, G for gold/yellow undertones and R for pink undertones.  

I'm truly satisfied with my first foundation purchase :)

What I like about Loreal Lucent Magique Foundation in Gold Bronze:  
Gives my skin a nice dewy radiant finish
I love the sheer formula
Has a light, watery, blendable texture and totally not greasy when applied
Has SPF 20 PA+++ protection from UVA/UVB rays
Covers few blemishes and skin discoloration
Didn't experience any breakouts because it doesn't clog my pores
Pump dispenses just the right amount of product
I love the classy packaging
I like that it's non-drying and unscented
Staying power of 4-6 hours
Gives me a light to medium coverage (light for daily use and medium for special events)
Affordable price at P859.00 per 30 ml bottle (I have been using this for 6 months, 6 days a week)
Available locally and has 6 shades to choose from

What I don't like about Loreal Lucent Magique Foundation in Gold Bronze:  
The bottle is not travel friendly
Needs to use concealer as it only covers few blemishes
Has the tendency to become shiny after 4 hours so I set it with a powder
Transparent cap is not durable and easily cracks
I can't check if how much is still available for use because the glass bottle is covered with the liquid foundation and it sticks in it

Will I repurchase?
Big, big yes!!!

If you're a first timer like me and don't know which to try because there are tons of foundations available, do try this Loreal Lucent Magique Foundation. Till my next post!
