The Laura Mercier Stardust Radiant Glow Palette will make you glow and shine in the City of Lights

18 Comments

When I showed some pictures on Instagram of the Laura Mercier City of Lights Holiday 2018 collection, I received a surprisingly high number of inquiries about this particular palette. The Laura Mercier Stardust Radiant Glow Palette is a limited edition palette for this season, and I don’t really blame anyone for having their eye caught. This is quite a stunner of a palette to look at!

I will tell you right off that if you love shimmer and an eye-catching shine on the skin, then this palette will likely be right up your alley for that. But if you’re in the market for something a little more subtle, and don’t favour warm tones on skin, then you may want to look elsewhere.

Might the Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Foundation make a cameo appearance in my list of favourite foundation?

10 Comments

There was a little scare among Laura Mercier fans here in Malaysia, that the brand was pulling out of the country. Well, take heart, they aren’t! It was just a change in administration, and they are here to stay. And we know that Laura Mercier is known for their base makeup – their Flawless Base, as they call it. So what better way to join the trend of high coverage, long-wearing foundation bases, than with the Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Foundation.

The Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Foundation was launched about a year ago, and you may notice the subtle change in packaging. In fact, Laura Mercier has since been rebranding themselves, and they now sport a brand new logo, with a brand new font. You will be seeing it roll out in future releases, and their bright, spanking-new stores will also sport it. More modern, more with the times.

But I had to know – were they still as strong in their base products as I remember them to be?

Sticking to a Pink Glow with my favourite Laura Mercier Bonne Mine Stick Face Color

8 Comments

I’ve been about very light makeup in recent times, and I’d found myself reaching very often for cream stick blushes. I do like the Chanel one very much, but I wanted to tell you about another, more underrated one that I have been using a lot of lately. It’s the Laura Mercier Bonne Mine Stick Face Color.

I don’t see many people talking about this one, which I think is a pity because I think it’s a good product. I picked mine up a year back, if I remember correctly, and loved it from the get go. I didn’t talk about it however, because I thought it was a limited edition product. Perhaps it was, and it’s now permanent, I’m not sure. Either way, it’s easily available, and I wanted to tell you about it 🙂

Your Say: Is makeup primer a must-have for you? What is your favourite?

26 Comments

When I started out learning about makeup and how to use it, I stumbled upon this thing called a “primer”. It all made sense, when put in a painting context – you prime your walls, before you apply your paint. It helps the paint stick better, and last longer, and creates a smoother finish. When I had my walls painted, I made sure they put on a primer too! LOL!

But, what d’ya know? That’s what makeup primer does too! We discussed this once right here on the blog, but that was way back in 2012 – a lot has changed in 5 years! Or has it?

If you watch YouTube videos and try to learn about makeup, primer is always used. If you have oily skin, primer is recommended to keep the skin oil-free for longer. If you have visible pores, primer helps create a smooth finish.

Yet, how often do you use a makeup primer? Or rather, do you use any at all? 😀
