Laura Mercier’s new “Attitude” nail polish is a fabulous pale blue nail colour which appears almost white in dark light. The pale blue hue lends a fresh take on ice blue nail polish for the summer 2014 season while staying true to the current pastel trend from the runways.

Pastels are an important color trend for the spring/summer 2014 season. The pastel color palette was spotted on the runways in New York, Paris, Milan and London and has proven to be popular on the streets in spring 2014. Although brights and neons are important for the summer 2014, the pastel color palette is carrying over from spring into summer; and proving to be equally important in the world of color.

Laura Mercier’s “Attitude” nail polish is the perfect pastel blue for the summer 2014 season. This icy blue hue not only blends well with pastels, it offers an almost-white feel when paired with attire in bright or neon hues. This makes it an easy, almost neutral, nail polish color to wear all week long as you change your daily attire from pastels one day, to neon hues the next. Love that!

I tested Laura Mercier’s “Attitude” nail polish with two coats of color and one base coat; no top coat. The nail polish was incredibly chip resistant even though I did some heavy housecleaning during the week without wearing gloves. “Attitude” by Laura Mercier did not chip during the week I wore the nail polish. This is always a plus, because in the summer months, we are a little bit more active. Having chip resistant nail polish is very important!

Laura Mercier’s “Attitude” nail polish is part of Laura Mercier’s limited edition summer 2014 beauty collection. “Attitude” by Laura Mercier can be found online here and here.

Laura Mercier’s new high coverage concealer for under eye is here! This amazing eye concealer is packaged in a small tube with a long point where the concealer comes out in mini drops. These small drops of concealer are easy to apply with dots under the eyes where coverage is needed. After applying the concealer in dots under the eye, Laura Mercier’s new high coverage eye concealer can easily be smoothed into skin creating a clean canvas on the face  and hiding everything which needs to be hidden under the eye! Bye bye dark circles!

I have found it difficult to find a good eye concealer over the years since the color always seems to be slightly off from the color of my foundation making the portion under my eyes too white. Laura Mercier’s new high coverage concealer blends perfectly with my foundation and smooths into skin without leaving a trace. This allows Laura Mercier’s high coverage concealer to properly hide imperfections under the eye without being detected. Perfection!

Laura Mercier’s high coverage concealer also lasts all day without melting in humidity and hot weather. Love that! Laura Mercer’s new high coverage concealer for under eye can be found online here, here and here.

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.
