Nude Beige Creme Lip Print, Laura Mercier

I’ve been a big fan of Laura Mercier color this season, and recently had the opportunity to sample some of their latest limited-edition color selection “Belle Nouveau”.  A staple product I’m particularly fond of is the Laura Mercier Nude Beige Creme Lip Print.  Nude Beige is the ”new neutral” I’ve been raging about for months now.  This darker nutmeg shade is bolder than the pale naked neutrals we favored in the past.

Le Metier de Beaute Kaleidoscope Lip Kit

When the strong solar flares were expected in March, I thought I finally might have my shot at viewing an Aurora Borealis first-hand! No such luck!  East Coast northerners were graced with the Northern Lights, and we West Coast citizens were greeted with just another dark night. Looks like I’ll have to get my Aurora fix with the Northern Lights Spring 2012 makeup collection from Le Metier de Beaute! The Aurora Kaleidoscope Lip Kit contains four shades of buttery gloss stacked into trays that flip in and out of the side of the palette for easy access. [Read more...]
