Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Mega Moisturizer SPF 15 Review

My skin has always been on the oily side, but lately and usually during winter I noticed some dryness around my lip area and below my cheeks, yet still my T-zone remained oily. Iโ€™ve been searching for a good moisturizer to deal with my skin issue and I wanted it to be really moisturizing but at a good price point. I happen to have a sample of Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Mega Moisturizer for Normal/Dry Skin and I really really liked it a lot, so I checked the price of its regular jar size of 1.7 oz and at $53 it seems like a very good deal. There was also another kind of this cream, the ones made for Normal/Combination Skin which I have yet to try, but I decided on the first kind because the dry spots onย my faceย are really flaking and have never been relieved by most moisturizers I’ve tried.

The thing that made me love this cream is its intense hydration to my face. Itโ€™s extremely hydrating but at the same it didnโ€™t weigh on my skin. It completely moisturized the dry spots around my lips and below my cheek area. I usually it use it at night and my skin stays moisturized the next day.

Apart from the intense hydration that this Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Mega Moisturizer gives, I also notice that it seems to soothe the redness of my face. In fact, I donโ€™t think Iโ€™ve seen a lot of moisturizers like this. Probably La Mer? They both have the same silky and lightweight feel on the face while having this luxurious texture.

The smell of this cream is very interesting, something like a blend of spf, lemon and egg. LOL. But itโ€™s not an annoying scent, in fact, the scent of this Laura Mercier Mega Moisturizer is very mild. Speaking of Spf, well, the only drawback I might say with this cream is the low spf, but it doesnโ€™t really bother me since I mostly use it at night. When used in the morning, as what itโ€™s supposed to be, I find that this really works well with my BB or CC Creams or any foundation without an issue. Although you may have to be careful and not use a lot of this moisturizer during the summer because it might make you look too oily.

Verdict. I love this moisturizer and this is definitely one of my holy grail for being one of the best winter facial moisturizer that also works well on oily skin. For sure Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Mega Moisturizer Spf 15 will be repurchased several times.

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Review

Heya! We’ve reviewed my favorite concealer (seen HERE), now it’s time talk about my favorite loose/setting powder that I cannot live without. If the Nars Radiant Creamy concealer has been makingย me look awake, this Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder has definitely made me look very awake. I cannot imagine my face without thisย ๐Ÿ™‚ย 

Actually, there’s a lot of us that have fallen in love with this loose setting powder. Its consistency is soft and transparent, yet it flatters almost all skin tones. It has a sheer coverage that’s buildable and gives a very natural effect. Apart from being able to absorb excess oil and mattifying the skin, the best thing about this is that it sets your makeup or concealer and you’re ready to go to town.ย

Right after applying my favorite Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer (Custard shade) around my undereye circles, I then apply this Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder (using a beauty blender) to setย it and let it cook or bake while I’m doing other stuff on my face. Yes, this setting powder is the secret to every contouring, conjuring, baking, strobing, stuffing and cooking out there. ๐Ÿ™‚ Once you’re done baking, you can thenย brush off the excess powder on your face and make sure that it looks normal and natural, not overdone or overcooked.ย 

 

Anyways, I definitely recommend this Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder very mucho, together with Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. But if you have another favorite concealer or even another favorite loose powder, well, as long it sets your makeup, it covers your facial landmines, it makes you look pwetty, then you’re on the right track to looking radiant, glowy, awake and alive!

Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour Part 2

Blue Hydrangea, Cashmere Cologne and White Sunshine (LDR) … oh hi there!ย Dreaming of summer already? I know, I know… just hold on, this chilly weather will be over soon. For the mean time, let’s enjoy some bright and glittery eyeshadows to brighten our day. Owkie dowkie?

I’ve added three more colorsย to my collection of Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colours. I just can’t get enough of these eyeshadow sticks. They’re sooo good and I’m hooked. If you’ve read my previous review of these eyeshadows (HERE), then you know that they’re probably one of the best (if not the best) eyeshadow sticks in the market nowadays.

As a recap, these Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colours have such an amazing array of colors to choose from, they’re a lot easier to blend compared to most eyeshadow sticks, and they’re extremely long lasting. They might be on the glittery side, but still, they’re really wearable and can be easily removed by either a makeup remover or a micellar water. So far, my skin never had any negative reaction towards these eyeshadows, and I love the fact that it’s so convenient to carry, plus all I’ll need is just a blending brush.

 

These three Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks are the latest addition to my collection.

  • Sugar FrostTan Beige Shimmer. This is great as a highlighter around the inner corners of the eye. If you want your eye makeup to standout, be sure to add a bit more of this in order to create some drama. Who doesn’t lurve drama?
  • SandglowSoft Bronze Shimmer. A shimmery midtone bronze-sand shade. I love this for overall lid shade. It creates slight definition on the eyes, and the shimmer is not too much.
  • AmethystSoft Mauve Pearl. A slightly shimmery mauve that is great for contouring the outer corners of the lid and for that smoky-eye look. I really like this because it’s a light mauve shade that’s blendable and it doesn’t look too purple-ish or too violet-ish, which means this won’t attract the wrong elements. Ha!

 

You know the other usage for these Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colours? Actually, whatever comes to your imagination. Apart from their intended purpose, these are really great for strobing or contouring, it’s just a matter of finding the right shades to do the job. ๐Ÿ™‚

 

Ok you guys, until next time…
