I’ve got to give it to the Vichy marketing team because the sample from Elle magazine is what made me fall in love with their Teint Idéal foundation. I'm actually very happy when I have the opportunity to test some products on my skin before I buy them. When I fist applied the foundation that I got, I saw that it was to dark for me, I was disappointed but I decided to blend it and go on with my concealer and contouring hoping that it won't be obvious. Not that it wasn't obvious, but my skin drank it in and it got a little bit lighter as it should be. I was blown away! Then after about 4-5 hours at Uni I came across a mirror and I fell in love with the way my skin looked. It was matte and my skin looked flawless without any redness (which does tend to break out trough my foundations during the day). 

There are 4 shades in range, which is not a big range but as I said they blend very well with your skin. The sample was in shade 25 MOYEN but I decided to by it in 15 CLAIR because my skin is not tanned now and the winter is coming along with my ghost face. Coverage is light to medium when I apply it with the expert face brush, but beauty blender would probably provide better coverage. Also this foundation comes in liquid or creamy formula, I went for creamy this time.

The thing about Vichy is that it is originally a skincare, not a makeup brand. I've realized that it is very important to me since some foundations that have good formula and coverage tend to break me out. Here they take care about everything. They make sure that it's not only good makeup but as good for your skin under it.

Those were all pros but as a con I need to say that maybe the quality of a sample foundation was a little better than the store ones. As I said, great marketing, but it is wrong to base it on lies, this time is just a little one.

   Čestitam Vichy marketing timu zato što je tester iz časopisa ono što me je nateralo da se zaljubim u Teint Idéal puder. Čini me jako srećnom kada imam mogućnost da proizvode probam pre nego što ih kupim. Kada sam prvi put koristila tester bila samo malo razočarana jer je boja bila tamnija od moje kože i izgledalo je baš čudno. Ali samo odlučila da sačekam da se upije i nastavim sa korektorom i konturisanjem u nadi da neće biti toliko očigledno. I ne samo da nije bilo oćigledno nego se on stopio sa mojom kožom i poprimio nijansu baš kakvu je trebalo da ima. Posle 4-5 sati na fakultetu sam prošla pored ogledala i oduševila s e jer mi je koža bila mat, ujednačena i bez crvenila (koje obično izbije iz svakog pudera koji koristim posle toliko vremena).

Postoje 4 različite boje, što nije baš veliki izbor ali kao što sam rekla upija se jako lepo i poprima nijansu vaše kože, tako da boja nije toliki problem. Tester je bio u boji 25 MOYEN ali sam odlučila da kupim 15 CLEAR jer mi koža više nije tamnija kao što je leti i polako dolazi zima kao i moje bledo lice. Pokrivanje je lakše do srednjeg kada ga stavljam četkom, a beauty blender bi verovatno omogućio bolje pokrivanje. Takodje postoji opcija tečne ili kremaste formule, ja sam ovog puta izabrala kremastu.

Bitna činjenica o Vichy je ta da su oni originalno brend brige o koži a ne šminke. Shvatila sam da je meni to jako bitno jer postoje puderi sa jako dobrom formulom i pokrivanjem ali mi pritom oštećuju kožu. Ovde se brinu o svemu ali prvenstverno o koži, a onda o pokrivanju i kvalitetu same šminke.
Ovo su sve bile prednosti ali kao manu moram da dodam da je možda kvalitet testera malo bolji od pudera u prodaji. Kao što sam rekla, odličan marketing, ali opet pogrešno je zasnivati ga na laži, ova je na sreću jako mala.

I'm really looking forward to trying more of Vichy products!

Jedva čekam da probam još Vichy stvarčica, baš!

Lots of love, Dunja xx
