Laura Mercier has a new fragrance for the fall season which has been added to her line of body products this month; the new scent is warm “Ambre Vanille!” Ambre Vanille is perfect for the fall season as it combines warm woods, florals and sweet vanilla to create a warm and cozy fragrance expereience for the moderate to cool weather found in autumn. Ambre Vanille by Laura Mercier also happens to contain Fall’s ultimate “HipNote” of sandalwood. Love this!
Top notes: tangerine, coconut, almond

Middle notes: tiger orchid, milk flower, helitrope

Base notes: vanilla beans, brown sugar, sandalwood

Laura Mercier’s new fragrance Ambre Vanille is available at Sephora.com in a honey bath soap at $40, a bath scrub priced at $46 and a body cream priced at $55.
I tested out the Body Cream and it was A-MA-ZING! As is always the case with Laura Mercier’s body cream, the Ambre Vanille body cream is moisturing without leaving a greasy film and locks in your skin’s moisture. As someone who has sworn by Laura Mercie’s body creams for the past ten years, I am in love with this new scent! Ambre Vanille is a must try.
I rate Laura Mercier’s Ambre Vanille body cream five out of five stars!

Laura Mercier’s Ambre Vanille can be found online at Sephora.com and at Laura Mercier counters.

Laura Mercier Organza nail polish from Cinema Noir for fall 2012 review

 in Beauty / Nail Polish  tagged classic style / fall 2012 / laura mercier / pink / reviews by

Laura Mercier has released their hot new fall 2012 make-up collection “Cinema Noir” and I had to give the new, sparkling nude shade “Organza” a whirl. “Organza” is a sheer nude polish with gold sparkles which is perfect for the upcoming fall 2012 season.

Fall 2012 is all about nude nails and brown nails. In addition to nail polish colors, fall 2012 has many important trends; one of which is yellow gold. Yellow gold is huge for the fall 2012 season and Laura Mercier’s “Organza” is the perfect blend between the yellow gold trend and the nude nail polish trend.

The gold specks are eye catching and sparkle in both artificial and natural light. The sheer nude nature of the color allows the beauty of the natural nail to show through. I love the natural effect of Laura Mercier’s “Organza” combined with the dazzle of the gold sparkles!

“Organza” by Laura Mercier is perfect to wear now as well as during the fall 2012 season since the nail polish color is neutral and blends well with all colors and ensembles. It makes getting dressed in the morning a snap! Love that!

Laura Mercier’s “Organza” nail polish applies evenly and does not streak at all. In the below photo I used a base coat and two coats of “Organza” nail polish. I did not apply a top coat. The polish is long lasting, as one can expect from Laura Mercier’s fabulous line of nail lacquer.
The verdict is in! Laura Mercier’s “Organza” nail polish from the “Cinema Noir” make-up collection for the fall 2012 season received five out of five stars.

Priced at $18 each, Laura Mercier nail polish, including “Organza,” can be found at LauraMercier.com

Laura Mercier La Petite Patisserie Trio Almond Coconut Milk review

Laura Mercier has released a fabulous, limited edition travel set for the spring and summer seasons which offers a delicious, decadent, gourmand fragrance experience that is perfect for the warm weather. The “La Petite Patisserie Trio” in Coconut Almond Milk offers the ultimate collection of Laura Mercier’s Crème Body Wash, Soufflé Body Crème and Eau Gourmand in small, travel sized containers.

The fragrance trio offers the perfect products for layering fragrance. The Crème Body Wash allows the fragrance to settle into the skin during a shower while gently cleansing skin. After the shower, the Soufflé Body Crème can be applied on the body which gives the fragrance a long lasting, solid base for the day. After the body cream, the fragrance layer can be finished with a spray or two of the Eau Gourmand.

Fragrance notes: coconut, almond, milk, vanilla, heliotrope, musk

The limited edition, Laura Mercier “La Petite Patisserie Trio” in Coconut Almond Milk offers a light fragrance experience making the scent perfect for daily wear both indoors and outdoors. The coconut heart combined with the vanilla and musk base, make Coconut Almond Milk refreshing and perfect for warm days or after several hours in the sun.
