 Experience the dual power of anti-ageing skincare with a natural “no makeup” finish with our lightweight, tinted anti-ageing moisturizer. With super-fine colorspheres to even out your skin tone and the same active ingredients of one of our best anti-ageing moisturizer, Advanced CLA Complex + SPF 15 PA++ for that smooth, natural finish with a luminous radiant glow.

How to enjoy a naturally sheer finish with anti-ageing protection: Apply evenly over thoroughly cleansed face.

Price

Rs. 215 for 30 mL

Available in 3 shades 

1. Sheer Ivory
2. Sheer Rose
3. Sheer Honey

I use sheer Rose (02) But have repurchased it and now using honey(03)

Sheer rose has Pink undertone while Sheer Honey has yellow undertones.Stupid SA fooled me into getting the Rose shade :(

I have combination oily skin and it doesnt make my skin oilier. 

Pros

• Its is a 3 in one product - a sunscreen(has SPF 15),moisturizer and Tinted TM
• No breakout whilst wearing it , so YAY !
• Offers just the perfect coverage,nor too heavy neither too sheer
• Blends like a dream
• Dries up to a dewy finish
• Very versatile-You can apply it using a stippling brush,foundation brush or even your hands
• I sometimes use it to brighten my under eye area and it works !
• I love the price 
• My skin is softer and appears smoother when I use it
• Comes in a tiny cute bottle,very portable 
• the bottle dispenses just the enough product
• Doesn't grease my skin up
• Stay on for a decent amount of time 
• The shade sheer Honey is perfect .

Cons

• May not suit well for people seeking High coverage.Anyway its not a foundation.so it really won't be a con.
• Dry skin fellas might loathe it. But my other Blogger friends with dry skin love it.
• It is NOT a substitute for Sunblock
• Not very long lasting.I have to set it with a powder and be ready for mid-day touchups
• Limited shade selection. 

Will I repurchase ?

Of course .I'm on my second bottle :)

Btw I dropped at Ambience Mall on Saturday.Got my skin checked at Clinique, I have combination-oily skin contrary to what I think .I used to believe I have VERY oily skin .

Also did some shopping at Nine West and Aldo.I got THE killer Black stilettos :D

LAKME DAILY WEAR SOUFFLE

What lakme claims

Lightweight soufflé makeup, perfect for everyday wear.

Enriched with sunscreens and cucumber extracts. 100% water based formula is lightweight so skin does not feel weighed down by extra layers Souffle form allows for easy application to give skin a natural, flawless look It comes in 4 shades Pearl - very fair skin Marble- fair to wheatish Shell-wheatish to dusky Coral-dusky I have this in Shell . SA recommended marble but I think it's of no use . The coverage is sheer with just a hint of color 1. Packaging: - Very ordinary packaging .. a small jar with a lid. Not very hygienic, if you wish you may use a spatula instead 2. Texture :- Texture is very smooth but not consistent .You will find strange goops in between and the product looks strangely orange in the jar. 3. Coverage :- Don’t expect even medium coverage ..this will only dew up your look . It is so sheer that it is comparable to tinted moisturizer .. it will just even out your complexion and is great for dry - normal skin. 4. Extent of wear ability :- Very short ! I was just going on for a stroll and I applied this on my face .. and after half an hour .. I patted my face with a tissue and to my horror .. there was scary orange stuff on it !! 5. Price ;- Extremely affordable at 100 bucks !!

OVERALL

I think I had rather huge expectations . It does what exactly it says . lightweight in texture and enough to cover minor flaws . I think its good for people in hurry , just remember to set with a powder (eg Maybelline whitestay UV) I dont blame the product . Its quite decent product ! Its good for people who are just starting to build thier collection.
