Lippie Love: Laura Mercier Paint Wash Liquid Lip Colour in Nude Rose

~purchased by me~

This is my second foray into the “liquid lips” category, the first being Too Faced’s Melted line (if that even falls into that category). So far, I’m liking it. Not the fastest way but I like the end result.

Let me explain myself. Application wise, they apply like a gloss. They do not feel tacky or sticky to me but they do slide while it is wet. It needs to set for it to last longer so I discovered the best way is to apply an even thin layer, let it dry and apply a second thin coat for good measure. This gives me a good 4-5 hours with straw sipping.

The formula is neither hydrating or drying. Best to exfoliate and moisturize pre-application. It is opaque in one layer. The applicator is perfect. It grabs the right amount of product to apply that first layer.

I got mine in my favorite shade, a lovely rosey nude shade from Nordstrom for $28. Also available at Sephora.

Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour

If there’s one thing that I always take with me when I travel it’s the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour. Summer of 2013 I visited my favorite city (ever!), New York, and if you don’t know summers in NYC I have to tell you it’s brutal. It is hot and humid. I was warned about the weather and so I brought with me Laura Mercier’s Caviar Sticks and Trish McEvoy’s 24 Hour Eyeshadow Sticks. I was happy I did as both did not disappoint.

Let’s check out the shades I have in my possession.

Final thoughts:

• Easy to apply, just twist up and apply. It glides easily on the eyelid. There’s enough time to blend and if preferred top with powder eyeshadow before it dries out.
• Easy to sheer out as well as build up. My preferred method of building up is apply, blend, dry, repeat.
• Lasted 14 hours before I had to take it off in hot and humid weather.
• Can be used alone or as a base. There’s a wide shade selection however there are times when I prefer to use it as a base.
• High color payoff
• They are indeed long-wearing, transfer- and crease-resistant.
• I highly approve of this product. If ever you’re in need of an eye product that is easy to apply, blends beautifully, has a high color payoff, long-wearing, transfer and crease-resistant I suggest you give Laura Mercier Caviar Stick a try. Or at least check it out in the counters.

Availability | Can be found at Macy’s, Nordstroms and Neiman Marcus for $26. Some shades featured in the swatch picture above may be limited edition.
