My Love Affair with T.LeClerc
#productreview
I have been in love with T.LeClerc for a long long time. Banane powder was the powder of choice of my mom when I was young and that silver, classy compact packaging was just to die for. Fast forward to about 20 years later, I still feel that T.LeClerc may have the best-looking packaging in the market today, and their Banane powder is still the best when it comes to touch ups or setting your makeup base.
When Rustan's threw me a baby shower about a months before I gave birth, I was elated that T.LeClerc gifted me with a set of makeup (with a blush brush too)!
After giving birth, I am just a teeny bit more sensitive with products and that's why I have been extra careful with makeup products now because I have developed somewhat sensitivity to makeup.

It kind of reminds me a lot of NARS Orgasm Blush, or Elizabeth Arden's Radiance Blush in Sunburst, or Clinique's Cheek Pop in Ginger Pop, but this one has gold shimmer on it.
It comes in a classy, silver packaging that is actually the same size as their pressed powder. So you can bet your butt that this blush will last you a while. So best to choose the best shade that suits you because it will be a while until you get to buy a new shade.
It's very sheer. You can hardly see it on camera and I had to layer it on several times just so you can see a subtle hint of color, which I think would look a lot different on the face though. It has some gold shimmers on the blush so I guess if you don't like the sparkly bits then you might not like to use this blush.
T.LeClerc Banane Pressed Powder comes housed in a really beautiful and hefty silver metal compact packaging, though I doubt it’s really steel), which comes with its very own velvet pouch and a really thin velour puff for application.
My first impression on T.LeClerc's Rouge Transparent Transparent Lipstick is that I thought it would be one of those really sheer lipsticks that goes on like a balm and looks like a very light tinted one. I had my doubts because of the name of the lipstick. The shade is called Essentiel. A very light and dainty shade of pink that kind of reminds me of Estée Lauder Pure Color Crystal Baby Collection in Crystal Blush, but it's actually a bit far off.
It really does glide on like balm, and when the shade is long gone from your lips, you are left with soft and supple lips that lasts a while. If you want a bolder color, you will just have to layer on the lipstick because this is how light it's going to be and this is already three layers.
I love how this lipstick doesn't dry out the lips. I have already flaky lips and chapped ones too most of the time, so I love how this lipstick was able to disguise that pretty well.
The T.LeClerc Volume Mascara intensifies your eyes. Its cutting-edge round brush coats and visibly thickens your lashes creating an even more impressive and spellbinding look.
I really enjoyed using this mascara. The impact is not as dramatic as Covergirl's Lashblast Volume Mascara, or as curling as Maybelline's HyperCurl Volum' Express Waterproof Mascara, but on really busy days that you need to be on the run and cannot leave without mascara, then this could be the product for that.
