Laura Mercier’s fall 2013 beauty collection “Dark Spell” is nothing short of amazing. There is a large array of colors to choose from for any beauty look or skin tone. The entire collection is also on trend, and hot-off-the-runway for the fall 2013 season. Love that!

One of the fabulous parts of Laura Mercier’s “Dark Spell” collection is the new line of lipsticks! This exciting new lipstick collection, “Rouge Nouveau Weightless Lip Colour” comes in three types of lipstick. The three lipstick types are “Sheer,” “Matte” and “Cream.” Each category includes four fabulous colors to choose from for the fall season.

Laura Mercier sent me “Sin” from the new “Rouge Nouveau Weightless Lip Colour” collection. “Sin” is one of the sheer lipsticks from the collection; which is my favorite type of lipstick! I tend to shy away from crème lipsticks or heavy colors. In the tube, “Sin” appears to be a vampy, deep purple lip color; wherein reality it is the perfect sheer purple for everyday wear. Love it!

I was thrilled when I first wore “Sin” from Laura Mercier’s “Rouge Nouveau Weightless Lip Colour” collection for fall 2013. The lipstick went on smoothly and gave my lips a perfect purple hue without looking heavy or vampy. I also found the lipstick moisturized my lips; eliminating the need for lip balm during the day. This lipstick is not sinful as the name of the color suggests, it is Heaven sent!

Laura Mercier’s new “Rouge Nouveau Weightless Lip Colour” is my new favorite lipstick! I cannot wait to try out other colors from the collection. Since the sheer lipstick is light and not too heavy, it is also perfect for wearing right now as a transitional lip color as we move from summer into fall. The sheer nature of the lipstick also makes it easy to wear during the day and at the office.

The new “Rouge Nouveau Weightless Lip Colour” by Laura Mercier is priced at $24 and can be found online here.

Laura Mercier “Spellbound” face illuminator

Laura Mercier’s new fall 2013 beauty collection “Dark Spell” includes a sparkling face illuminator; “Spellbound.” This fabulous pressed powder offers a natural, soft finish to your face which works on light to olive skin tones. The powder leaves the skin “illuminated” without adding shine or an oily effect. Love that!

I was thrilled when Laura Mercier sent me the fall 2013 face illuminator “Spellbound” to sample. When I first opened the compact, the beautiful wavy design took my breath away. I love when cosmetic companies take the time to make their beauty products beautiful; after all, the products are supposed to make us beautiful, so shouldn’t they be beautiful themselves? Yes, of course!

I was very pleased with how Laura Mercier’s face illuminator “Spellbound” worked on my skin. I wore it casually during the day without foundation and it set my blush as well as kept my skin from looking oily during the warm summer weather. I also tried “Spellbound” over foundation and concealer at night. Again, it kept my make-up set without allowing my skin to shine from oil. Perfection!

Laura Mercier’s new face illuminator “Spellbound” is my favorite beauty product. I am wearing it everyday for the perfect finish! I highly recommend “Spellbound” and rate the face illuminator five out of five stars.

Laura Mercier’s fall 2013 face illuminator “Spellbound” is priced at $42 and can be found online here.

Chanel Mysterious nail polish fall 2013 review

Chanel Mysterious nail polish is one of the three new nail hues from Chanel for fall 2013. This dark brown nail polish offers a slight sparkle which can be seen in the jar. The slight sparkle seen in the jar offers a shiny and subtle result on the nail.

Chanel Mysterious nail polish for fall 2013 is a classic brown nail polish color which works perfectly with autumn’s traditional color palette as well as the huge “print” trend from the runway. Mysterious by Chanel offers the perfect neutral backdrop for fall 2013’s animal prints, berry hues, burgundy shades and more. Love this!

I tested out Chanel Mysterious nail polish for fall 2013 and the polish lasted about one week. I used one base coat and two coats of color. I feel like this is the perfect neutral nail polish for fall 2013; as well as long term. Chanel Mysterious is a great staple, dark brown hue for any nail polish wardrobe. The brown color is rich and timeless. Love!

Chanel Mysterious nail polish for fall 2013 is priced at $27 and can be found online here. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
