Laura Mercier

[silverstarlight]

  Hi! I'm very interested in this brand. Esp when they released their shimmery mosaic garden.  Could someone share their favorites in Laura Mercier Brand?

i'm planning to get their secret powder and their 2nd skin blush  did anyone try this already? is it good?

Hi I am so glad you started this topic. I did go to Rustan's Shang rila Edsa and sat down to test their products. I immediately fell in love with all their products. Especially, the flawless face starter kit. I feel like everything is a MUST -HAVE. I like everything in it  the concealer(the 2 in 1 thing) and the secret powder are good if you are asking about these products,  I highly recommend them~

i have the laura mercier caviar eyeliner. it's pretty good, i must say. it glides on smoothly and is very pigmented, whether applied wet or dry. it can also double as an eyeshadow. you just have to apply a good amount then smudge it on the lids. it also has good staying power. if my memory serves me right, i don't think it's available here. the cake eyeliner is available here, it's what I remembered from spotting the LM counter in Rustans 3 mos. ago.

I have their Secret Concealer. This is my HG concealer for the under eye area

Has anyone tried their blush?  i heard that it's super nice and long wearing 

Actually my next beauty buy for this month i their secret powder and 2nd skin blush 

About their eye concealer, is it better than the bobbi brown 2 way    i'm still debating on that

I love their tinted moisturizer. Hg tm ko. For the blushes, ok also. May mga unique shades sila. My faves are crushed hazelnut and azalea,ü! Pero discontinued na daw yung crushed hazelnut but i still have it in my traincase. Pag gusto ko hint or natural color,gamit ko to. Cute casing, size is good for travelling.

^fresh ginger yung naging parang kapalit ng crushed hazelnut.

hg tm ko din ang lm, and i'm actually considering to get one haha! laura mercier is known especially for her flawless face products. maganda mga base niya talaga (meaning foundation, powder, etc).

[k_heart]

Fresh ginger sis? Wow, i need to see that. Ano difference sa crushed hazel?Mas maganda ba ito. I want one.Ha!Ha!Ha!
In fairness, maganda talaga powders nila.

I LOVE LAURA MERCIER!!! Thanks for bringing this line up again

So far I've tried her:

1. Oil-Free foundation in warm ivory - i prefer MAC SFF though
2. Oil-Free primer - swapped it away, nothing spectacular
3. Undercover - nice! hmmm... i think i want to repurchase...
4. Secret camouflage (#3) - LOVE!!!
5. Stardust loose powder
6. Eyebase in Linen - swapped away and regretted it!
7. Blushes in azalea, crushed hazelnut, rose petal and nectar (older versions, i have not yet finished them up! azalea is my special ocassions blush)
8. Eyeshadows in desire and mermaid (gorgeous gorgeous eyeshadow!!!)
9. lip glaces in ambre rose glace (former fave! replaced already), rose glace, bare glace (and some others i forgot - i purchased the 5-piece set eh) and lipstick in bare lips. - I HATE THEIR LIP PRODUCTS. Smelly. I'm not sure about the new line though.

My must haves which i use everyday are the secret camouflage (which I've only recently repurchased in 3 years... not goopy, doesn't crease, covers super well.... you just have to get used to the brush technique and not finger-pat) and stardust loose powder, which gives the most beautiful sheen on the skin and the inner corner of the eyes. I remember calling and going back and forth sa Rustan's Makati to ensure that these two were reserved for me when the stocks arrived this summer.

My addiction started when I was in 2nd year college, so you know where all my "baon" and "aguinaldos" went. Right now I've branched to NARS and MAC and I'm trying to control the addiction...

Bummer nga lang, I had no concept of "freebies" and was too shy to ask. Dapat pala ga-bundok na ng freebies ang meron ako ngayon sa dami ng binili ko. Hmph.

Hahaha this is funny. I rarely post nowadays but with a LM thread, I can't help myself!

highly reco ng derma ko ang shimmer bloc nila in orchid mosaic

[babyjapnurse01]

^gusto ko yannn!

[babyjapnurse01]

pero parang type ko din yung Gilded Garden Shimmer Mosaic, ang girly girly, parang nakakapanghinayang gamitin. haha!

[lelila]

^yan ba yung may flower? gusto ni fuzzkittie, wala daw sya mahanap na ibang product na nagbibigay ng glow gaya ng binibigay ng LM haha

[babyjapnurse01]

^yeppyepp! ito: eto sha sis hehe! naaliw ako sa derma mo, dinrowing nya pa yung orchid mosaic diba? hehe!

[lelila]

^oo! haha. nireco nya talaga, nakasulat sa pang reseta nya LOL!

tapos nung friday andun kame, ask nya ako if nabili ko na. sabi ko indi pa. pinapasok ako ulit sa clinic nya, dala nya daw, ipakita nya sa akin, nag apply pa sya ulit! nag demo haha! aliw talaga yun, pero promise ang ganda sa kanya. takot lang ako kase maputi yun ako hindi haha. pero di sya ganun kashimmer sa kanya. sana hindi rin sa akin.

bilin nya magpalagay daw ako, then wag ko muna bilihin, hintayin ko daw muna pano magiging effect sa akin.

Laura Mercier din blush brush nya (I like), binati ko nga, sabi nya, kung ikaw loyal sa NARS, ako sa Laura haha. pang 3rd nya na daw na shimmer bloc yun!

yan nga yung kay fuzzkittie, gamit nya daw yung pink na flower, e ang liit  haha
 

[babyjapnurse01]

^tama yung reco nya sis, palagay ka muna then tingnan mo kung ano effect pag nag"melt" na sa skin mo, di sha shimmery na super, parang sa guerlain, parang may kakaibang glow na pag nagblend  na sa skin eh mukhang hindi makeup, parang sadyang maganda lang yung skin mo.. ganun..

[lelila]

hay, too many makeups! next in line! haha

[babyjapnurse01]

pink and golden ang meron ako, yung orchid di ko pa nakikita in person, pero since sabi mo maganda, will have to check it out soon. haha!

ok din yung LM Bronzing Duo in Coral Bronze, parang sa lahat ng bronzers ito yung pinaka nadalian ako iblend sakin at feeling ko bumagay sakin.

[lelila]

alanganin ako gumamit pa ng bronzer eh, kaya yung lemming ko for NARS Laguna nanatiling lemming haha

gusto ko yun orchid kase sa pan, dusty rose sya eh. btw, si Derma, yung 3 triangles na light lang gamit nya. di nya ginagamit yung darkest na pink

[babyjapnurse01]

^onga mukha nga super pigmented sa stockphoto sa net.
