LAURA MERCIER FOUNDATION PRIMER


This is a bit of a "I tried it once, and I already love it" post. I've only been using it for a couple of days so I'm not sure if it'll last the distance (only time will tell), but I just had to share anyway. The Laura Mercier Foundation primer (£29) helps to make my make-up apply so smoothly. As we're now into the colder months, my skin has been suffering with dry patches galore. So not fun. There had been a few days in a row where things just didn't look right. The first time I used this primer I immediately noticed a difference. Everything just sort of sat a little bit smoother.

Not only that but my make-up still looked pretty good after a full day. We're talking 12 hours. I am majorly impressed with this stuff so far. It has a slightly silicone texture but is a bit more liquid-y than your average primer. It has a hint of smell which I can't quite place, but nothing too offensive. It goes on clear and sinks into the skin almost immediately even adding a hit of hydration. There are so many different versions of this primer: oil-free, hydrating, radiance and the list goes on, so there's really something for everyone.


There are really no complaints so far and I may or may not have already ordered the hydrating version too (my skin neeeeds it). I really have been finding some primer gems lately. You may see me raving about some others in the near future.

Do you have a favourite primer? Have you tried this one? You can get on the House of Fraser website for £29.

LAURA MERCIER LIP GLACÉ IN BARE NAKED #30LipsIn30


If you watched my blog sale haul a couple of weeks ago, then you'll have seen I purchased a lot of lip products. I've been slowly working my way through giving them a good test and today I'm shining a light on the Laura Mercier Lip GlacĂ© in Bare Naked. I've not tried much (if anything, actually) from Laura Mercier but this lipgloss is right in my comfort zone - ha. It reminds me a lot of an old Revlon favourite but I think I prefer this formula.

It has quite a bit of pigment, but it's definitely still glossy and perfect for topping lipstick. In fact, I love it on top of a little lip combo I mentioned here.


This kind of shade is one I find easiest to wear, and the little doe foot applicator makes it easy to apply the perfect amount of non-sticky gloss. I'm glad I finally got round to giving this one a chance - I love it.

Is there anything else I need to try from Laura Mercier? Let me know!
