This is going to be a difficult review to do.  Not because the product is bad, but because it does so many different things that I’m going to find it hard to remember to add it all in!

At first glance, the packaging is sleek and smart – shiny black with the red metallic signature ‘Lola’ logo on the front.

When you open it up, there are 2 face products in their own metal pans (not merged together like others!), that have been beautifully embossed with a Mandela style design.

However, this isn’t about how beautiful the product is to look at, it’s about how beautiful it can make you feel.

The principle is simple.  Blush your cheeks with one side, highlight with the other.  But its more than that.  Because these are a different type of face product.  They are both home to hidden inner glow particles.  You know, the ones that make you look like you’re radiating with inner beauty.  They are also so finely milled that your face almost takes on an airbrushed, soft-focus to it.  I did have to double check that it wasn’t my new bedroom lighting, and have taken this out and about with me on various jobs, and yes, it does have inbuilt soft-focus.

But it doesn’t stop there.  If you’re prone to getting a shine on later in the day, this does help to keep it at bay a little longer.  I would advise, with all makeup application, using primers appropriate for your skin, but if you’re a blush-and-go kind of girl, then this will keep oil spots away for a little longer.

And finally.  Does it last?  Definitely!  For me, in my particular makeup discipline, longevity is key, and on a personal level, its essential for my own face.  This is now a staple kit favourite, I’d recommend it for anyone really.  Anyone who wants to make sure their makeup lasts on their face, anyone who professionally needs to be able to guarantee that their makeup application will last, but also to the makeup artist who wants to create a ‘wow’ with their makeup technique.

Definitely one for everyone’s makeup bag.
