Laura mercier primer and tinted moisturiser



I had this for almost a year. I just did not want to use it for some reason. Thanks to the tinted moisturizer, I finally tore the foil cap and use it. I tried with the foundations I have at the moment. I tried it after moisturizer. I tried it on a clean face. The packaging said I can use either way. I like it as it is soft/watery feels like gel and just goes on easily. It is clear and gives an invisible layer to give your face a smooth canvas. It dry pretty alright, doesn't break me out. Helps to prolong my foundation. Helps to smooth out foundations making them so much cleaner and nicer overall.

It is pricey, I wouldn't buy it again as I like long lasting foundation in first place. So I find that this is a redundant step. I guess it is nice for an important day or night to use a primer. But for daily, not a big fan. Oh except to cover my pores. So wait, I guess it is quite an important step. But if you have really good foundation, then you wouldn't need a primer right? But this doesn't really hide my pores, so its not the primer of my choice.

Tinted moisturizer in porcelain which is the lightest shade. It's just a tube shared between cousins, so each one of us get a bit of sample. It is an ok tinted moisturizer. It is not as moisturizing. As it is really hard to glide onto skin. It gives a sheer and smooth finish, once you managed to cover your whole face. The best way to apply is using your fingers. Using brush is just too jerky. From the picture, you will think its watery. It looks like it, but it is pretty thick. Strangely it becomes a light coverage.
Application with the face primer is much better. Any primer will do. It is still hard to apply, but blend a bit easier.
Anyway this is oil-free, one of the thing I like about. It doesn't give a matte finish, but it isn't oily. I still have to apply powder to set it, but the oil control is moderate. Pretty much last until I want to take them off. Porcelain is too light for me though. But yes, this is where the bronzer comes in.

Givenchy Le Rose Perfecto Lip Balm

This is in the shade 201, creamy and a hint of light milky pink. I like that it is pretty, but the shade doesn't really suit me. What I like best is that they can engrave your name on the packaging. So it is pretty.

Beauty Uk Baked Blush

A red blush looks really intimidating on the box but I picked this up cause I want something different for my collection. It's just a cardboard box kind of packaging, secured with magnet, so it's really simple. It's quite big and like all baked product, it's dome in shape. So it's actually quite bulky. I wouldn't bring it for travel that's for sure. The color payoff is good, but instead of red it's more pink. You can use it sparingly and it will be lighter or you can pack on the color which will gives you a really bright pink. In fact, if lightly dust over your cheek it is more coral than pink. It has tiny specks of shimmer, but it doesn't show. I can't remember how much I bought this for but it wasn't expensive. It's not my favorite blush, but I find myself reaching for it a lot. So that's something isn't?
