For someone who likes to update her makeup & skincare essentials, I was excited to see the new releases on Escentual to perhaps add something new & refreshing to my makeup bag or skincare routine.
When anything screams limited edition I really have to control myself, but this though……
GIVENCHY PRISME LIBRE POWDER *LIMITED EDITION*
< Givenchy Prisme Libre >
To celebrate the Chinese New Year Givenchy Prisme Libre is encased in red to bring good fortune and joy. yay
All skin tones can use this powder as it’s translucent, but the colour correcting benefits will be most effective for a light to medium skin tone. The shade 1 is Mousseline Pastel with green, blue, purple and white powders to correct and reduce imperfections, transforming a brighter complexion with a natural opal effect. If you have a deeper skin tone, 2 Taffetas Beige and 3 Organza Caramel in the main line of Prisme Libre will be ideal for you.

The gold standard in treating wrinkles, premature sun damage and uneven skin tone.
