All great info ladies. thank you. I hear ya.. these last three comments lead me to another question. quality... are there any ingredients that you specifically stay away from when using cheaper cosmetics...

Usually the difference are the ingredients. L'oreal will use less expensive ingredients for eyeshadows and skin care, while Lancôme can use higher priced ingredients because they bring in a higher amount if money. I've never used Lancôme eyeshadows but I do love the mascaras. (Mind you I've only used samples and have never brought myself to buy any..) but loreal is a drugstore brand and uses more chemicals and will use cheaper alternatives. For example in the loreal magic nude, it's a dupe for the giorgio armani silk foundation. And I believe loreal owns Armani's makeup line too. Everyone says the magic nude is more drying, it cakes up easier and it doesn't feel as nice as the Armani one. Magic nudes first ingredient is alcohol so it's drying on skin after many uses. The Armani one doesn't have alcohol in it from what I remember. It also doesn't have as many chemicals and has ingredients that the average person may actually have heard of.
I love loreal, it's a go to for me when I'm too broke to buy my usual routine makeup and I usually don't have any problem with it. But it's not the best quality due to the ingredients and is more likely to break me out than Lancôme is.

Lol Shauna, its all gravy. lol.
at Louise, good to know I may grab the loreal one. I'm a maybelline girl when it comes to mascara but always looking for a new love.
@Danny, interesting. I've been wondering about the skincare as I'm looking for a good anti aging serum that isn't going to break the bank (loreal) but I also don't want to end up trying a bunch of stuff. I think ill just stay away from those two lines for skincare. stick to body shop n h20plus.

Thanks for your input ladies. n as always still open to more comments..
as far as ownership. Loreal owns Lancome along with a lot of other brands we use including urban decay (a more recent acquisition).. but loreal n lancome are very similar. hence my question. wondering what the differences are since they do charge a pretty penny for lancome n the brand has been withstanding the test of time and I do notice some diferences but like I said. I don't own any lancone, and very little loreal. I'm thinking some of you ladies may have both n can give me better insight.

Lancome own L'Oreal so their products are very similar. They use basically the same ingredients in their products. L'Oreal is one of my favourite brands, I love their foundation, eyeliner, etc. and it's a nice cheaper alternative to Lancome. However I do not like L'Oreal eyeshadows. They don't have the best pigmentation and there's always a lot of fallout. Their individual eyeshadows are way better, I find their quads are really bad quality.

Lancome is a good brand!! I love its mascara and my mom uses their lipsticks, these both things are cool!! Love'em... And L'Or?al is good too, but unfortunately I've not used anything from it except their nail polish! It was pretty good... Not sure about other, coz I've not used them!

I don't know if this is true or not, but I heard lancome owns the company Loreal, or if I'm mistaken it was Olay, not sure, but this is what I heard

I personally like the texture of my Lancôme lipsticks much more than that of L'oreal. I feel like they go on more smoothly and last longer, and I personally like the color options more, as well. Sorry I can't help with the eyeshadows, I have neither L'oreal or Lancôme eyeshadows.

I don't have any lancome makeup. some loreal. I've heard n read that its no big deal.. some of the lipsticks I've swatched here n there seem really smooth and pigmented. do you guys feel like there's a bug difference between lancome n loreal makeup in general. esp the lipstick n eyeshadows..
