Lumene?

[SydneyH]

Just rec'd some samples of a new European product called Lumene. The Night/Day dual serum and Moisturizer is very soothing. These products are available at CVS for very reasonable prices. Wondering if anybody has ever used them or heard of this line before.

I've heard and saw the ads on Japanese magazine, but I've never tried their line before. Let us know if you decided it to try it.

Lumene is a Finnish brand. Their skincare products tend to be better than their MU products (with some exceptions). I've tried lots of their products, let me know which ones you're interested in!

Oh, and Lumene is definitely not a new line. They've been around for decades but only recently have started to sell their products internationally.

Their website is at Lumene: Home

I have one of thier products cant remember its name. You mix it with your foundation or wear it alone to give you a shimmering/supple effect. Pretty good but I dont wear it a lot. I also got it at CVS they had a clearance sale on it so I got the product for $0.88

Gotta tell ya for the price the serum is a nice alternative to your more expensive brand, maybe as a backup product?

The only thing that I have tried is their eye primer...It is pretty good..especially if ya can't get UDPP...

I've used some Lumene products. Nowadays I use their eye makeup remover, eye primer and deep cleansing peat mask. All those products are really good and reasonably priced.

I will have to try the face mist. I still have about 1/2 a bottle of Fix + though and I

Fix + (thanks to MUT

).
I've used their eyeshadow singles and I absolutely love them. I only have 3 colors, but I think they're great. Very pigmented, very silky and on top of UDPP or Laura Mercier's Eye Basics, they stay quite well!

And it's apparently because they have too much pigment!?!

thanks for the info! i always eye this at cvs, but i've only tried their eye makeup remover, which was okay.
