Laura Mercier Lip Product Review

Hi guys! I hope you are doing well. Today I have 3 new lip products by Laura Mercier to share with you; 2 Lip Glaces (RRP $30.00) and 1 Paint Wash Liquid Lip Colour (RRP $35.00) both available from David Jones nationally. I'm a huge fan of Laura Mercier, every product being consistently good and today's products are no exception!

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of lipglosses/glaces in general but I gave these a Lip Glaces a try anyway! They were really moisturising and applied very smoothly onto the lips. They had a sheer/medium opacity but gave a really nice tint to the lips - nothing too dramatic, so perfect for everyday wear. I really loved the scent of them! The shades shown below are: Pink Pop; a beautiful light pink with subtle shimmers through it, and Orchid; a stunning dark wine/berry colour.

I was very intruiged by the Paint Wash Liquid Lip Colour, hoping it would be somewhat similar to liquid lipsticks that dry to a matte finish. It didn't try completely to a matte, i'd say more semi-matte but I really loved wearing this product. I was pleasantly surprised that the shade I wore (Rosewood; a beautiful brown/mauve colour - similar to Kylie Jenner's famous lip colour!) suited me so well! I wore this product all night where I went out for dinner, ate lots of food and even had gelato afterwards, and this baby stayed put! I highly recommend this lip product to anyone wanting to try something that has great opacity, as well as being very hydrating to your lips. Can't wait to wear this more and now i'm convinced I need more colours!


And me being a big poser wearing Rosewood. . but hey at least my lips look good don't you think?!

Thanks for reading! Let me know if you try/have tried any of these lip products!

L'ancome L'absolu Rouge Lipstick

Hi everyone! I have a beautiful lipstick shade to show you today by L'ancome called Rouge Grand Coeur (RRP $50.00). A perfect "big red heart" colour (that is the translation). It is an absolutely perfect lipstick with an amazing formula. It glides on effortlessly in 1 coat and smells beautiful. The scent of it always reminds me of my mum. She used to wear Guerlain mineral rocks and the smell is just beautiful. This will be the perfect valentine's day addition to my outfit but warning - it is not kiss proof!

Model Co - Spring Racing Essentials (Red Lip & Black Mascara)

Hello everyone! Hope you are having a lovely morning so far! Today I have 2 make up products by ModelCo to show you - which are perfect for the Spring Racing season! You can never go wrong with lashings of mascara and a red lip so today that's what i'll be showing you! The Power Lash Long Wear Black Mascara (RRP $24.00 , available online here) is a brilliant mascara that thickens your lashes and noticeably lengthens them - without clumping! This was seriously hard to remove so is perfect for long days out in the heat! I've also been loving the Lip Lacquer Liquid Lipstick in the shade Fire Red, which is a gorgeous blue toned red which makes your teeth look whiter - and a bonus - this product smells like cherries, YUM!! It was really hard not to lick my lips but I managed to get a shot just in time. This is really easy to apply, but is slightly sticky on the lips, although it does leave a nice stain afterwards. This retails for RRP $17.00 and is available here. Check out how these looked on me below!

Scout Cosmetics

Hey guys! Today I have a few products from Scout Cosmetics to show you! Last time I posted about this brand I only showed nail polish but today I have a mixture of nail polish and make up! All scout cosmetics can be purchased online here. I'll be reviewing 2 nail polishes, 3 lipsticks, the Mineral Mascara and the Mineral Corrector Concealer. Here's a look at the products!

I couldn't wait to use the polishes (RRP $19.95) that were sent so I decided to do some nail art with them. I used 2 coats of Scout - November Rain (a gorgeous metallic silver creme) followed by some taped triangles using 1 coat of You Oughta Know (a stunning deep cobalt blue that seems to glow in the bottle). This mani lasted me 1 whole week and I was seriously impressed with how gorgeous and vibrant it looked in real life! I finished the look off with 1 coat of G&G.

Mineral Mascara in the shade 01 (RRP$ 35.95) - This mascara has a great brush and really good formula. It isn't a mascara that gives you full on volume and length, but a subtle, natural look which I love. It is also a non irritating formula which makes it perfect for people who wear contact lens.

After Mascara



Mineral Corrector in the shade Skin (RRP $24.95) - This concealer is in a great pencil shape which makes it very easy to apply to spot cover blemishes or cover under the eye. It is very creamy and long wearing but I did find this shade was too light to cover blemishes but it worked well to hide dark circles under my eyes.


 

Mineral Lipstick in the shade; Delight (a coral/pink frost), Excite (a eggplant frost) and Destiny (a medium red creme) (RRP $35.95) - These lipsticks were the least impressive for me. The formula was a bit drying and wasn't very saturated in colour which made my lips look a bit blotchy. Destiny was the only one I found to not be drying and give great opacity.

Destiny
Overall i'm quite impressed with Scout Cosmetics but absolutely love their nail polishes more than their makeup. Have you tried any Scout Cosmetics? I'd love to know!

Estee Lauder - Pure Color Envy Lipstick

Hey everyone! Today I have a new Pure Colour Envy Sculpting lipstick by Estee Lauder to show you. The shade of the lipstick is called 250 Red Ego; a gorgeous deep crimson red creme. I absolutely love the packaging on this line, it is a super sleek navy body with a magnetic lid. It's very simple and minimal but screams luxe. This lipstick is super creamy and highly pigmented, as well as being intensely moisturising like a lip balm. I'm officially converted and need to start collecting them all. Pure Colour Envy lipsticks retail for $50 and is available from estee lauder's website here.

Revlon Colour Burst Lacquer Balms

Hey lovelies! I hope you're all having a great week. Today I have swatches and a review of 3/10 of the new Revlon Colour Burst Lacquer Balms. I actually got mine sent to me over a month ago from my friend in the U.S and they weren't available in Australia at the time but now they are!! (Chemist Warehouse available for $14.99, link here). I already adore the previous Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balms so knew I would love these. I originally saw my favourite YT, Nicole Guerriero review these on her channel and knew I wanted them too! The colours I have are; Tease; A copper toned orange creme, Whimsical; A berry toned purple but it is super flattering and not gothic/emo at all and Provocateur; a raspberry red creme which looks great with all skin tones. The formula and consistency on these 3 are so good, creamy, opaque and very easy to apply. I love all of these and love the mint scent too! Onto the pictures. I also love the metallic packaging and that the barrel is the colour of the product.



Tease
Whimsical
Provocateur
Which one is your favourite?

Estee Lauder - Bronze Goddess Collection 2014

Hey everyone!! Today I have swatches of a new nail lacquer and lip product by Estee Lauder to show you. These two products are from their new collection called Bronze Goddess, available now from counters nationally.

First up is the limited edition Pure Color Sheer RollerGloss in the shade Squeeze (RRP $40). It is just like the old school lip glosses you would buy from the $2 store. This particular one smells so good - like watermelon and passionfruit and gives your lips a super glossy look. It does not dehydrate your lips after time and adds a very sheer colour. 


Next is the new limited edition pure colour Nail Lacquer in the Shade Hot Spell (RRP $38). I've only owned 1 other Estee Lauder nail lacquer before and know how amazing the bottle, brush, formula and colours are and this is no exception. This hot orange toned coral is perfect for the hot summer days. It applied so well and I used 2 coats for these photos.

ELES Cosmetics - Micro Mocha Lipstick

Hey everyone! Happy New Year to you all! I hope you had a great 2013 and you are ready to take on the new year! Today I am showing you a lipstick by ELES Cosmetics called Micro Mocha* from their core lipstick range (RRP $39.50). I am seriously loving ELES cosmetics - their mascara is my favourite one EVER and their lipsticks are SO smooth and creamy and highly pigmented. The micro mocha colour is the perfect red toned brown that complements olive/tan skin tones very well (like myself!). I recommend you try their lipsticks out and see what I'm talking about - they are brilliant! I can't recommend it enough to people! The picture shows 1 coat of the lipstick. It has really great coverage and opacity. Head over to the ELES website at www.elescosmetics.com.au to see all of their wonderful products!
