Lakme Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Compact Review

Hello Prettiest!!

How are you all today? Enjoying boring monday! Today I’ll be reviewing the Lakme compact which I have been using for over two months and now it’s time to share the review with you all :) Move on to the review to know how it worked for me :P

a) Skin Brightening Pearls that add a pearly glow.
b) Goodness of Multi-minerals.
c) Vitamin B3 proven to visibly lighten skin tone with daily usage.
d) SPF 23 UVA & UVB protection.

Rose Medium 04

The shade which I use is Ivory Fair 01

My Experience with Lakme Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Compact :

This is a nice compact which might suit every skin tone. I have dry skin as you all know and this went well with my skin tone and skin type. Compact is a staple product in my vanity though I can go without foundation, primer and blush but not without compact. It is perfect for everyday use as it feels light on the skin. It blends well with my skin but doesn’t give that flawless glow as it claims to.

Swatch:

Pros: :)

Comes with SPF 23.
Inexpensive.
Feels light on the skin and is apt for everyday use.
Didn’t give me a cakey look which I absolutely like.
Has multi minerals and vitamin B3 which are good for skin.
Lovely packaging.
Mirror is quite big that you can see your full face clearly in it.
Staying power is 2-3 hours.
Variety of shades to choose from.

Cons: :(

Product claims are too big, it doesn’t give a pearly glow as shown in the advertisement by the model displaying fairy glow which is totally fake.
Average staying power, doesn’t stays for longer.

Will I Repurchase it:

I think no, I won’t be buying it again as it will last me for years and I easily get bore with such products that takes years to get over and secondly, I feel my Avon ideal white compact is much better than this for the flawless look it gives and the good staying power. :)

Rating: 4/5

Seems nice but i love compacts that controls oil for a long time. I am loving my Faces compact these days :)

  Yeah, oily skinned girls want oil control products :) I’d love to try the Faces compact if it will keep my skin hydrated and flawless at the same time :)
