Laura Mercier has a beautiful color palette for the summer 2014 season. Of this palette, “Strawberry Sorbet” from the creme smooth lip colour collection stands out as a fabulous pinkish-red hue for the summer season. 

“Strawberry Sorbet” creme smooth lip colour by Laura Mercier is a beautiful pinkish-red lip color which plays well with any color palette. It is the perfect alternative to classic red as it is a slightly softer color with a pink undertone; which is just as neutral as traditional red without being as bold. Love that!

I am already a huge fan of Laura Mercier’s creme smooth lip colour. The lipstick collection is long lasting and moisturizes the lips; which is ideal for everyday wear. Laura Mercier’s creme smooth lip colour does not bleed onto the skin surrounding the lips and it does not smudge; a common problem with many creme lipsticks on the market.

“Strawberry Sorbet” creme smooth lip colour by Laura Mercier is a great color for brightening up one’s face when paired with apparel in neutral hues, black or white. I love how it keeps my face from looking washed out in the photo above; which can easily happen when wearing white, or being photographed in white!

I am definitely keeping Laura Mercier’s “Strawberry Sorbet” creme smooth lip colour in my handbag so that I can reach for it on a regular basis.

Dolce & Gabbana’s new summer 2014 colors in their Classic Cream Lipstick are inspired by the nuances of Sicilian Roses as well as the velvety touch of their petals. For spring/summer 2014, Dolce & Gabbana have added twenty new colors to their Classic Cream Lipstick collection, taking the choice of colors up to forty-two!

Dolce & Gabbana have divided the Classic Cream Lipstick colors into six categories including, reds, oranges, corals, pinks and nudes. This ensures there is a color for every mood, skin-tone and look. Each lipstick is inspired by a particular Sicilian Rose; for example, “Mandorla” is inspired by the Alchemist Rose and “Star” is inspired by the Black Rose. 

The Classic Cream Lipstick by Dolce & Gabbana is a favorite lipstick of mine. The formula is moisturizing; it never dries out the the lips. The color glides on smoothly without clumping or traveling. The color is true; it looks the same on the lips as it does in the tube. Love that!

Dolce & Gabbana was kind enough to send me six new colors from the spring/summer 2014 Classic Cream Lipstick collection to test out, and share with you! Below you will see “Mandorla,” “Delight,” “Petal,” “Devil,” “Fire” and “Scarlett.” All photos were taken in bright shade, outside, late morning with the same camera settings.

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.
