The new packaging!
I had to pick this up! Blood red, oxblood, deep berry, merlot whatever you want to call it is very on trend right now. It’s very lush and opulent! I love it!!
So one brand that has a kind of a sleeper status is Laura Mercier. Professionals have been for years singing the praises of their foundations, including the best-selling Tinted Moisturizer. Most tinted moisturizers aim to give sheer to light coverage, basically just to brighten the complexion and some evening of the skintone.
Laura Mercier just recently released their liquid tinted moisturizer in a convenient compact!
From PR:
Laura’s latest innovation features a lightweight crème formula that gives skin a dewy, natural-looking finish ideal for all skin types. With SPF 20 and a hint of color, this portable compact is perfect for travel and touch ups on the go. It’s a breakthrough for the Flawless Face!
The Tinted Moisturizer Crème Compact also boasts:
A lightweight formula that moisturizes and hydrates the skin
Provides sheer to moderate, buildable coverage with a hint of color for a natural look
Long wearing formula (6-8 hours) ideal for active lifestyles
Broad spectrum SPF 20 provides UVA and UVB protection
Visibly evens skintone and softens fine and dry lines
Upon application, skin is brighter, more even-toned, and dark spots and imperfections look visibly diminished.
Features Vitamin C, which has skin brightening properties
Contains the antioxidants Vitamins C and E to help protect skin from environmental elements
So it’s autumn, and it is already getting cold here. I’m thinking of all the goodies that I want to bake and hibernating! Summer is over! 🙁
The one thing that I do like about colder weather are the rich colours and luxe fabrics and this season purple and oxblood are the stars!
So Zoya has 3 colour collections for their fall offering. The Fall collection has been inspired by the runways and designers at NYFW and some of these shades are really, off the runway! Here is the Gloss Collection.
This is my first review of Laura Mercier products. I was instantly attracted to the beautiful, bold, punchy colours. The Très Chic collection is a limited edition, spring nail collection consisting of 5 colours that range from pastel to bright.
I picked up the two that I thought were going to be my favourites and I love them!! The polishes are contained in short, square bottles and are slightly smaller than the typical nail polish – 0.35 fl. oz. (10.35 ml) vs. 0.5 fl. oz. (15 ml) and they cost US$18 each. So the price is a little costly. The brush is short, and not like the Pro-Wides that you get with OPI. For those with long nail beds, you may have to use more strokes than you normally would. The formula is a little on the thin side, but smooth. I used 2 coats in the swatches, but I could have done with an additional one. Drying time is pretty fast. The formula is good, and standard for what is out there. They are also Big 3 free.
Hey! It’s May allyuh!!! I can’t believe it! My favourite season is fast approaching, so I start looking forward to wearing very bronzy colours on the eyes and coraly ones on the cheeks.
A few months ago, I decided that I was going to try something from Mally Roncal’s line, mally. If you don’ t know, Mally is a celebrity makeup artist, who has worked on some of the top names in the entertainment industry, such as Ms. Jay-Z aka Beyonce. And I always check out what she has to offer when she appears on QVC, ‘cuz I secretly love her style! So I headed over to Henri Bendel in NYC and picked up this little beauty:
