What it is:A first-of-its-kind micro-vibrating
mineral foundation with SPF 21.What it does:This
foundation outputs 7,000 micro-vibrations per
minute-which stimulates the skin and breaks down the
featherweight mineral powder for seamless blendability.
The micro-massage, and the ultra-fine, featherweight
texture of the foundation, creates a "no
makeup" look and feel-resulting in a pixel-perfect
complexion. The formula contains nourishing aloe and
vitamin E, as well as SPF 21 for protection, so skin is
left smoother, softer, and visibly healthier-even after
makeup removal. Simply push the button and let the
velvety cushion applicator glide effortlessly across
skin for perfect coverage that lasts up to 14 hours.What
else you need to know: Talc-free, oil-free,
fragrance-free. Safe for all skin types, even sensitive.
When I first tried the product, I was not that impressed. I felt like I was constantly trying to get more powder on the applicator....But once the applicator isn't so "new" anymore it works great. I love the "oscillation" factor now...for just a minute in the morning I can close my eyes as I run the foundation across my face and feel like I am at the spa. The coverage is great, and no more worrying that it looks blened. Best of all, it feels great.
I've tried so many foundations-Chanel, Make Up Forever, Hourglass, Stila, Tarte, etc, but none that make my skin appear so flawless, look as natural and last as long as this. I love that it has SPF 21 also. I have only been using it for a few days, so I don't know about the long-term benefits of the vibrations, but I will definitely be purchasing this again!

Easy application- 11.05.09
I was excited to try this, so once I got it, I put it on right away. It's messier than they claim (you have to shake out the powder because not enough of it gets onto the applicator if you don't), but it's very easy to apply. Just push the button and spread over your face. The coverage is pretty good, but you have to really build it to get a full coverage. The overall look is really nice... soft and natural looking. I can't wait to see if the long-term effects are what they claim--that you'll get better looking skin with long time use because of the vibrations, so we'll see. Overall, it may be expensive but worth the buy. Your skin definitely looks smoother with the formula.

Very Surprising- 11.05.09
Quick Take: natural finish
I have always had bad luck (bad skill?) with loose powders. Kabuki brushes usually irritate my sensitive skin and puffs always seem to put too thick a layer of powder on. So I decided to try this. I'm still searching for the perfect pale yellow color, and Ivory 20 is not yellow-based enough (it's clearly pinkish along the jaw line), but the applicator is pretty cool! It did give me a flawless finish with a minimum of fuss. I'll probably use a brush to apply it around my nose, but this is pretty good.
Lancome's website says the applicators are available for purchase without battery or powder. I may buy that and use with the amazing Urban Decay 'Universal' powder.

Amazing product!- 10.29.09
I have never used Lancome products before, but have always heard great things. I had to try this foundation when it launched and I love it! I have very oily skin and this seems to keep some of the oil at bay. The coverage is also amazing. I have red areas and it covers them very well. A little bit of this foundation with Urban Decay's De-Slick, and I'm good to go!
