Laura Mercier Creme Lipstick-Audrey
Like all Laura Mercier Creme lipsticks, Audrey has a gorgeous color pay-off. This deep rose-pink color, almost raspberry, flatters my medium skin with yellow undertone. Laura Mercier colors suit most skin tones; therefore, I would recommend Audrey everyone. In addition, this Laura Mercier lipstick formula comforts and wears well on my dehydrated lips.

Revlon Colorstay Longwear Nail Enamels
According Revlon website, Revlon ColorStay Longwear Nail Enamels offer "gel-like shine and up to 11 days of shatter-proof color." I learned about Revlon ColorStay Longwear Nail Enamels in InStyle magazine. I searched for these polishes everywhere; I finally found them at CVS one night. As I was walking out the store, I spotted them near the entrance. Since I was in a rush, I quickly scanned the colors and picked three colors: 100 Buttercup, 020 Pale Cashmere, and Marmalade.
Out of excitement and curiosity, I applied the creamy yellow color, 100 Buttercup as soon as I got home. The application of this polish was difficult because of its thicker, slightly goopy consistency. The first coat appeared streaky; the second opaque. I read on Makeupalley that some users didn't like the long drying time; however, I didn't find it so. This morning the color of the polish transformed to a sheer wash of creamy white. A total surprise!
The next day I added two additional coats that gave me the desired opacity. The Buttercup 100 did not flatter my medium/yellow skin tone.
Because I couldn't stand 100 Buttercup color, I took it off and applied 020 Pale Cashmere. The color wasn't any better. It applied streaky; the final result looked patchy and unattractive.
Revlon ColorStay Longwear Nail Enemal was quite disappointing.

Laura Mercier 2012 Lingerie Eye and Cheek Palette and Caviar Stick Eye Shadow

Fresh Peach
The Laura Mercier Eye and Cheek Palette is part of the Spring 2012 Lingerie Collection. All the eye shadows and blushes belong in the permanent collection, which I think is a smart strategy to promote her products. I tend to avoid seasonal products because I find the quality and colors to be more often a miss than a hit. In this case, everything in Lingerie palette showcases the exceptional quality of color pigmentation, blendability, and texture.
For years I avoided shimmery shadows; however, African Violet eye shadow lifted my ban against them. Laura Mercier shadows qualify as HG products.
