Laura Mercier “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” is a new line of finishing powder from Laura Mercier! This new collection of foundation powder is offered in a large variety of skin tone’s and can act as a powder or a foundation; or both! Love that!

I tested out color #5 and loved it. On a daily basis I prefer to only wear powder. I usually wear foundation and concealer for special occasions or at night. My skin is acne prone so I have always found the less I put on it, the better! I love Laura Mercier’s “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” because you have the option to apply it light, medium or heavy. The powder offers a lot of coverage without showing any traces of itself on the face. Love that!

In the video below I show how I applied Laura Mercier’s “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” with a powder brush. My application was light to medium. The powder instantly covered my uneven skin tone due to sun damage and also my acne. As a thirty-something, covering up my acne is imperative! Acne is embarrassing at my age!

The “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” by Laura Mercier can also be applied with a sponge. If the sponge is damp you can use it to apply the powder in lieu of liquid foundation. When dampened, the sponge with the powder offers full coverage; as if you were wearing liquid foundation but without the weight!

I am really excited to use Laura Mercier’s “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” on a daily basis. It is really easy to apply, overs a lot of coverage, is lightweight and is really fast to apply! Love that!

Laura Mercier’s “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” is priced at $45 and can be found online here, here and here.

There is nothing like a relaxing bubble bath! Let’s face it, whether you work full time, are a full time Mommy or you are just plain stressed out-a bubble bath is your ticket to relaxation! For me, I need the perfect fragrance in my tub in order to create the perfect, relaxing bubble bath. Thankfully Laura Mercier’s line of foaming honey bath products offers the ultimate, fragrant bubble bath! Love it!

Fresh Fig Honey by Laura Mercier offers a sweet fruity-wood fragrance experience which is perfect for the cool autumn weather. The sweet scent of apricot combined with ylang-ylang starts the fragrance experience off with an invigorating, eye opening scent. After the fruity floral scent settles down the warm, woody gourmand base rises up and creates a cozy, relaxing fragrance experience throughout your bath. Loved it!

Fragrance notes: Apricot Nectar, Ylang-Ylang, rich Vanilla, exotic Sandalwood and Fig Musk.

What I love about Laura Mercier’s Fresh Fig Honey bath is how luxurious the foaming bath experience is. Laura Mercier’s Fresh Fig Honey bath offers rich bubbles which not only offer an amazing fragrance experience; they don’t pop half-way through your bath! In addition, they work like soap so I am squeaky-clean after my bubble bath! Love that!

I highly recommend Laura Mercier Fresh Fig Honey bath for the ultimate, luxurious and fragrant bubble bath. I am also a huge fan of Laura Mercier’s foaming honey bath in Ambre Vanille, crème brulee and coconut milk. Yum!

Laura Mercier’s Fresh Fig Honey bath is priced at $40 and can be found online here.

Dolce & Gabbana’s Passion Duo lipstick is one of my favorite lipstick lines. The lipstick is a sheer gloss which adds a soft color to the lips. “Rose” is one of the new colors from Dolce & Gabbana’s fall 2013 collection which debuts in October. “Rose” is a beautiful and classic lipstick color which I find to be chic and the perfect lipstick to keep in my purse at all times. It goes with everything! I can definitely see myself wearing Dolce & Gabbana’s Passion Duo “Rose” in any season. The hue plays well with warm and cool colors. Love that!

One of the fabulous features of Dolce & Gabbana’s Passion Duo lipstick is the moisture. This lipstick moisturizes! This is fabulous because instead of using a lip balm and then topping it off with a lipstick, you can wear Dolce & Gabbana’s Passion Duo lipstick alone! It moisturizes your lips, does not cake and adds the perfect sheer color to lips. Perfection!

Dolce & Gabbana’s Passion Duo Lipstick is priced at $35 and can be found online here and here. I know you will love it as much as I do!
