New: Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colors

Today I have swatches of two of the new Caviar Stick Eye Colors for Spring. I picked up Amethyst and Rose Gold. Amethyst is a beautiful purple taupe. Rose Gold is a pretty beige pink. Both are gorgeous, pigmented, and blendable.

Caviar Stick Eye Colors retail for $24. I picked mine up at Sephora.

Great Foundation Hunt: Various Brands

I did a post earlier on my search for an HG foundation and the samples I had received at my local MAC. This post is dedicated to some other brands I have tried.

First is NARS Sheer Glow in Ceylon. This is a fairly close color match. I like that this feels lighter on my skin and offers light to medium coverage. It hasn't irritated my skin at all. Still in the running.

Next is Laura Mercier Moisture Supreme foundation in Warm Ivory. This color is a bit too yellow for my skin. It feels nice, but a bit heavy. Not really a contender.

Estée Lauder Double Wear in 2C1. This was so dark on me! Really bad color match and felt like a mask. It also dried my skin out. Not a contender.

Estée Lauder Double Wear Light in Light 1 and Light 2. I was originally matched to Light 2 and it was too dark for me, so I returned for a sample of Light 1. This wore well, felt decent, and didn't irritate my skin. I'm willing to test this one a bit more.

Sephora Give Me Some Lip swatches

A couple days ago, I showed some pics of the new Give Me Some Lip gift set from Sephora. This is a set of 6 lip products; 2 of which are full size. The price is $25 USD. You can't beat that! I only swatched 4 of the 6 since the Sephora brand gloss and Fresh Sugar balm will be used in a future giveaway.

Bite Vintage is a gorgeous wine color. Great for Fall! This goes on fairly sheer, so it's nice for a quick swipe and go!

Laura Mercier Baby Doll is a shimmery light pink. LM's lip glacé is one of my fave gloss formulas and this is a great wearable color.

Hourglass Child is a peachy nude. This didn't do much to my natural lip color, but the formula is awesome! My lips felt great, moisturized during and after wear.

Finally, a Lipsurgence from Tarte in the color Hope. This is a matte warm pink. I have other Lipsurgence pencils and like them a lot, but this is my first matte formula. I haven't worn it yet and look forward to trying it!

This set is definitely worth the money and a great value!

Preview! Sephora's Give Me Some Lip gift set

I picked up this set today and haven't gotten much of a chance to try all the lip products yet. I wanted to put up a couple quick pics as I'm sure it will sell fast!

This set has 6 products from Sephora's own line, Laura Mercier, Tarte, Hourglass, Bite, and Fresh. Not bad for $25!

Laura Mercier: Lip Glacé for Summer 2012

I picked up 2 of the 3 new, limited edition lip glosses from Laura Mercier. These have an awesome formula; thick but not sticky and long lasting. They have a slight vanilla scent and taste, but it's not overpowering.

I have Orange Tulip which is a slightly milky peach. This is a great way to wear the orange that's so popular this summer! It's muted enough to not be scary to wear.

I also have Camellia. This is a gorgeous bright pink. Lovely on the lips and perfect for summer.

These are a bit pricey at around $24, but they are a great splurge item! Purchased by me.
