Lancôme 2012 Fall Collection: Midnight Roses

With a 75-year heritage of developing outstanding make-up and skincare products, Lancôme is an international beauty pioneer. Founded in 1935 by Armand Petitjean, the name Lancôme was inspired by the ruins of a castle, Le Château de Lancosme, and the wild roses that grew in the grounds are referenced in the label's motif, a single golden rose.

Ambitious to carry le chic beyond French borders, Petitjean created outstanding Lancôme skincare, fragrance and cosmetic ranges which became the beauty products of choice for film stars of the time. Lancôme's success continues today, with make-up bag musts such as Hypnôse Mascara and the iconic Juicy Tubes worn by a glittering line-up of brand ambassadors. If you know Michelle Phan, then you can be so familiar with this brand.

In case you didn’t know, Michelle Phan is a beauty guru on youtube and a brand ambassador of Lancôme Paris. Honestly, almost all of her Lancôme sponsored videos impressed me. She just did a really prodigious job in creating different looks with different Lancôme products. I mean, yes you make numerous make-up looks with an abundant supplies at hand but only few can create the great ones. And here are the 2 Lancôme videos of Michelle that I really love. Just 2 words: Simple and Elegant.  (Click here and here!)
