Finally! A cosmetic brand that bundles beauty with brains. LCN (Light Concept Nails) is an international brand stemming from Germany and what are the Germans synonymous with? Technology. That’s exactly what they mean when we say that LCN is beauty with brains. All LCN products have the obvious aesthetic benefit attached to it but are also bundled with some sort of technological benefit. For example, you’ll be delighted to know that LCN stock (gorgeous) lipsticks that have a magnetic lipstick lid so that you never lose your mind (or the lipstick lid) ever again. The technology benefits don’t stop there though. LCN products are bundled with beauty-­focused technological benefits. Pop some “Peach Sugar” gloss on your lips for pretty pink lips, or simply rub onto your cheeks and the product effortlessly transforms into a powdery blush. Or the CC cream for example, is packed with a powerful punch of hyaluronic acid.
From head to toe, LCN has your back, by providing cosmetic solutions for your nails, face, body and your feet.


I bet you want to know what all about the prize, right?! ;-) Let me tell you... When I opened this, my heart skipped a beat, my hands got sweaty, and I felt a bit dizzy. It's THAT beautiful!


It all starts with the exquisite pearly white cosmetics bag. Oh my. SO stunning. When you open it, you'll find:
- Looking Good LCN Magical Skin Perfector Stick - worth R570.00
- Looking Good LCN Amazing Eye Brow Powder Trio "Brown" - worth R570.00

Looking Good LCN Review

Hey babes! :-)

Today I'm sharing a review on Looking Good LCN nail polish. Don't know who they are? Here's a quick look at their proud history.

As a leading manufacturer of cosmetic nail products, the success and reputation of LCN is based on a long history of providing exciting, innovative breakthroughs to the world of cosmetic science.

A PROUD HISTORY OF WILDE-COSMETICS GmbH

Wilde Dental was founded in 1914, few knew that these pioneering German researchers in dental resin would make such a lasting impact in the beauty industry. In 1985 (that's good year - the year yours truly was born - yay), Wilde Cosmetics GmbH was established to bring the same quality, durability and beauty of composite resin systems to fingernail cosmetics. The result? LCN, a revolutionary line of light-cured products designed to seal, correct, lengthen and beautify fingernails. The first of its kind in Europe, this system provided a non-acrylic alternative to conventional nail cosmetics, providing longer lasting beautiful results.

THE FUTURE OF BEAUTY

The LCN line has expanded to include natural nail, hand, foot, make-up, body and spa products. Every LCN beauty product remains the result of careful research, educated industry professionals, and a flawless eye for the future of beauty and fashion. LCN continues to break new grounds in the beauty industry, while still standing the test of time.

THE PROUD HISTORY OF LOOKING GOOD LCN

Looking Good LCN, founded in 2002 by CEO Lea Castro, started out in Wingate Park, Pretoria East. After just one year they moved to bigger premises in Pretorius Park, Pretoria East. They experienced so much success and growth, that they had to move yet again in 2007, into their current premises which is 200m², and in 2015 built a state of the art training facility boasting 250m². Their main focus is service excellence in the Beauty Industry and empowering women to become the best they can be! Having overcome many obstacles - the company has grown from strength to strength.

Pretty impressive, right? :-) What do I find best about the brand? The fact that they're also CRUELTY FREE! Definitely a big deal for me, being an animal lover, and a bit of a tree hugger! :-)

Their nail polishes are Soy Free, Vegan, Gluten free, 5-free, and promises a Streak Free Application, Dense Colour, Fast Drying, Non-Yellowing, Long Durability and Free of Parabens. Now, THAT's impressive stuff.

Let me show you. Pictured below is a plain swatch, with 3 coats, and no base or top coat.

 
There is no name on the bottle, and I couldn't find it on their website, so I think it might be a press sample. I'm not too sure. :-) It is a beautiful sheer nude, with a glamorous gold shimmer. If you look closely, you can see a slight pink shimmer too, which is clearer in real life than I'm able to capture with my camera. What is it with beautiful nail polishes and cameras? Jealous cameras? I don't know. I just know a lot of other bloggers also have a problem with this.

These polishes retail at R120.00 each per 8ml bottle (price correct at date of posting), and can be purchased at LCN Online Shop, and selected beauty salons. Even though I couldn't find this specific one online, they do have a beautiful variety of colours to choose from.

What is my honest opinion on this nail polish? Personally, I don't think I would buy it. Why not? It takes at least 3 coats to be somewhat opaque, even though say their polishes are colour dense. I'm not too sure if this was actually meant as a topper, so I would still like to try one of their other shades, before I can cross it off my to-buy list completely. The formula is quite thin, so it is fast drying, as promised. I see they do currently have a sale on, selling at R60.00. I'm not sure how long this sale will last, so I suggest you run over there right now and grab a bottle or two before it's over.

Looking Good LCN can be found on Facebook, Twitter and InstaGram.

Do you know Looking Good LCN? Have you tried any of their polishes? I would LOVE to know, so drop me a line. :-)

Thank you all so much for stopping by and taking time to read my ramblings. :-)


Stay Sassy
xoxo
Samantha
