Tweet Laura Mercier, like Bobbi Brown, is one of those brands that to me has a seriously impressive range of base products (foundations, concealer, powder). Laura M’s tinted moisturisers and concealer palette are probably the most well known and I remember making an investment in the palette years and years ago (I never finished it, I actually lost it before I had the chance but it would’ve lasted FOR-EVER). Now – Laura Mercier has a normal tinted moisturiser, an oil {Read More}
Tweet So this post is somewhat late, but I thought I’d share some of the things I got for Christmas! I asked for some nice gift sets from Laura Mercier – they are very good value good quality sets although I have to say – I’ve come to realise LM gift sets almost always go half price right after Christmas so in the future I think I’ll just wait til after the 25th of December! I got the Kohl Pencil {Read More}
Tweet Mr C gifted me with this Laura Mercier palette for Christmas called Bonne Mine (exclusive to Selfridges). It is a thick cardboard palette with 5 products in it. They say: This ultra-sheer, blendable palette wakes up the skin and gives it an immediate, healthy glow. Customize your look with bronzer, cheek color, and glow for a natural “no makeup” radiance. Inside, there are tabs that fan out to display Laura’s secrets on how to best use the formulas to {Read More}
Tweet This post should actually be called, “damn you eBay” followed by “damn you hazy shopping” because god knows I don’t need any more make up brushes but I can’t resist the ‘Bay. And yet….they still treat me like crap. Don’t you hate generic eBay answers to questions that tell you nothing at all? They should be sending me Birthday cards and giving me a direct line to their help desk where someone called Moss solves all my endless eBay {Read More}
Tweet Yet another beauty obsession of mine? Primers. I prefer gel or cream type ones over silicone-y feeling ones. Laura Mercier make a whopping 5 kinds to choose from! 1. Normal 2. Oil Free (for oily skins) 3. Hydrating (for drier skins) 4. Mineral Foundation Primer (good for use with mineral make up) 5. Powder Mineral Primer There’s a few brands I turn to if I need a reliable base products (Primer, Concealer and Foundation) – Laura Mercier is one {Read More}
Tweet I don’t know why I have a thing for Loose Powders, especially as most of them last a life time – why would I need more than, say, one?! I did really like the Armani Micro Fil Powder before I realised it is SUPER sparkly, and I iz no Edward Cullen. Nevertheless, I purchased this Laura Mercier Loose Powder to try – I’ve heard so many good things about it. Something about the brown of Laura Mercier’s packaging I {Read More}
Tweet I freaking love Laura Mercier primer and loose powder, hence I broke my no buy rule felt that the Tinted Moisturiser was necessary, since it would: 1. Complete my Laura Mercier Base collection (primer, powder) 2. Be great for this hot weather which will last about, oooh a week 3. Its a moisturiser so I count it as skincare so THERE So I plonked down £32 (sob) for the oil free version of the Tinted Moisturiser cos everyone goes {Read More}
Tweet I largely avoided the sales this year – I think I’m developing some phobia of being in busy shopping centres surrounded by aggressive women and snotty kids – but I did manage to pick up this kit from the Harrods sale for £37.50 (half price): Like Laura Mercier a lot even though I don’t give the brand that much loving all the time. One day I’ll go to the counter and get the entire flawless base range…. Anyway this {Read More}
