Dolce & Gabbana has added a new finishing powder to their collection; the “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder.” This fabulous new make-up addition is light, luxurious and the perfect way to finish off your face!

Unlike a foundation powder or bronzer, Dolce & Gabbana’s “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder” offers a light, translucent radiance to the face which is natural and does not clog pores. Love that! The “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder” sets your foundation and concealer with an invisible touch which lasts throughout the day.

I tested out Dolce & Gabbana’s “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder” on warm days, cool days and rainy days. With each type of weather and air conditions, the “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder” by Dolce & Gabbana held up without allowing my face to shine or my foundation to melt. Love it!

Dolce & Gabbana’s “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder” is also a nice, light powder to wear on days when you do not want to wear foundation; it controls shine and offers a fresh faced look.

The new “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder” by Dolce & Gabbana is priced at $60 and can be found online here and here.

The weather here in the San Francisco Bay Area has been in the high 70’s and low 80’s lately; which is perfect spring weather! Since the weather has been perfect, I have been able to wear my new wedges from Ross which have turned out to be incredibly comfortable; not to mention they match everything!

Laura Mercier gel lip colour review

Laura Mercier has a fabulous new lipstick for spring/summer 2014! The new, limited edition, gel lip colour collection by Laura Mercier comes in four beautiful, on-trend hues and has quickly become my favorite lipstick!

I was able to test out Laura Mercier’s new gel lip colour in “Clementine” and “Temptation.” “Clementine” is a bright orange lipstick which is the exact hue spotted on the runways in New York for spring/summer 2014. Love that! I was afraid it would be too bright on me, but when I applied it to my lips it turned out to be perfect. “Clementine” has an orange-pink hue when applied to my lips and the gel formula is smooth, moisturizing and easy to wear. I also love the vanilla taste and scent!

“Temptation” was the second gel lip colour by Laura Mercier I was able to test out. It is a dark purple hue, also from the runways, which works as a nice contrast to the seasons’ pastel color palette. I love how it looks with pastel apparel; including the pale pink top I am wearing in the photo above. The color is long lasting, easy to wear, moisturizing and smells/tastes like vanilla! Yum!

Laura Mercier’s new, limited edition, gel lip colour is priced at $23 and can be found online here.
