Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Getting ready for the Holidays with Laura Mercier

December 5, 2019 Paris B 3 Comments

The year-end festive period is a love-it or hate-it time for many.

On the one hand, who doesn’t love winding down with the year, as people slow down, take time off to spend with loved ones, enjoy the school holidays with their kids, and revel in the Christmas and New Year festivities.

On the other hand, just think of the stress all that brings! LOL! 😀

Well, Laura Mercier has a few Holiday releases to create a little oasis of calm and encourage that little bit of me-time, to help you cope with the stress of the year-end holidays and festivities 🙂

I think the Laura Mercier Rouge Essential Silky Crème Lipstick might be a lipstick wardrobe essential

Laura Mercier has been busy revamping themselves recently, first with a new logo, then a new foundation, and now, a new lipstick! While I have struggled to appreciate the brand’s lipsticks in the past, I have to say, I really like the new Laura Mercier Rouge Essential Silky Crème Lipstick!

It’s no secret that my lipstick preference tends towards glossy, creamy and satin finishes. I struggle to work with matte-finish lipsticks. So, when a slew of new lip products were released this year by various brands, marking a shift away from matte textures, I sat up to take notice, after slouching in my seat, willing away the dry, heavy, matte-textured lip looks of the recent past.

And one that was interesting enough was this new offering from Laura Mercier.

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

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?

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?
