Lorac Eye Candy Full Face Collection

I got this set from Sephora when it first came out but for whatever reason the pictures I took got lost. Out of the blue it has resurfaced so I wish to share (please indulge me :). This set is exclusive to Sephora and it is now sold out, however, if you’re still looking for one I saw a set available at Bonanza for double the price (yikes!).

Quick note about the collection…The eyeshadows are velvety, finely milled, easy to blend. I didn’t experience any fall out and creasing. I didn’t experience fading as I seldom wear makeup longer than 7 hours. With the cream eyeliners, I love the color selection in this set. They were creamy, easy to apply. They are not long lasting though. The cheek and lip tints is a wonderful quad of cooler pink, warmer pink, nude mauve, and a cranberry-ish shade. They are creamy and easy to blend on the cheeks. I’m not happy with the lack of staying power. On the lips, it’s not overly drying but it’s definitely not hydrating. So the liner and cheek & lip tint are not the best things in this collection but I’m more than happy with the four eyeshadow palettes.

Let’s take a look…

Laura Mercier Mini Lip Glace Collection – Rich Berries for Holiday 2012

I have liked Laura Mercier’s Lip Glace formula from the very beginning and this is a great way of sampling different shades without having to invest in a full size product. Today I bring to you Laura Mercier Lip Glace Collection in Rich Berries.

According to the Laura Mercier website…

Give lips extra holiday sparkle, gloss and shine, with these collections of five colour coordinated Lip Glacés.

Laura Mercier’s Mini Lip Glacé Collection features five colour coordinated Lip Glacés available in two separate collections – Soft Nudes and Rich Berries. Tailored to shade preference, the Soft Nudes Collection includes shades of pale pink, shimmering peach and dusty mauve for a subtle, more demure look, while the Rich Berries Collection offers bolder, brighter hues in deeper rose, red and plum shades. Wear solo for a soft-shimmer tint, mix together to create your own personal shade or layer with your favorite Lip Colour.

Let’s take look…

Reds may not be my preferred lip color of choice but I am glad I have these little tubes of fun to turn to on those occasions that I need a little perk me up.

I got mine at Nordstroms for $48. It appears to be sold out at the Laura Mercier and Nordstrom website but I’ve seen them at select Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus counters so I suggest you check around.
