Laura Mercier’s new spring 2014 collection offers warm and fresh hinges of color which leave your beauty look fresh and natural. This is an important beauty look for the spring since apparel is offering bright colors, patterns and prints. A natural, fresh beauty look will compliment and not compete with the styles of the season.

I was thrilled to see “Brigitte” by Laura Mercier for the spring. As a huge fan of last year’s “60’s Pink,”  I was looking forward to a light colored lip for the warm weather season in an updated color. Laura Mercier’s “Brigitte” lipstick delivers on my wish. “Brigitte” is a pale peach lipstick hue which is soft and warm. I have found this color works perfectly with apparel in shades of blue, pink, green, yellow and mixed prints which include these colors. 

Heavy make-up has never been  my style; especially since heavy make-up is frowned upon here in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are a natural make-up kind of place! This makes Laura Mercier’s new “Brigitte” lipstick the perfect go-to lipstick of the season. It will work perfectly with the current color palette and blend well with the season’s biggest trends. Love that!

Laura Mercier’s “Brigitte” has also been my go-to lipstick at New York Fashion Week this week; it has been long lasting and moisturizing. Love that! I am looking forward to wearing Laura Mercier’s “Brigitte” lipstick all through spring 2014!

Laura Mercier’s “Brigitte” Creme Smooth Lip Colour in “Brigitte” is priced at $26 and can be found online here.

Since Pantone announced the color of 2014, Radiant Orchid, in early December 2013, Fashionistas everywhere have been flocking to stores and shopping websites in search of the coveted “IT” color for the new year. One of the easy ways to incorporate this vivid hue is with cosmetics; specifically lipstick!

Pantone teams up every year with Sephora to create a make-up collection which reflects the color of the year. This year, Radiant Orchid, is an easy hue to turn into cosmetics since it is naturally a color found in make-up on a daily basis! Due to this fact, the lipstick has flown off the shelves and is next to impossible to find! Thankfully there are several other lipsticks on the market which are similar to the coveted color of 2014, Radiant Orchid.

I found a few alternatives to Sephora + Pantone’s Radiant Orchid lipstick and assembled them into this article. Some of the colors have a little more pink than Radiant Orchid while others offer more of a purple tinge. I hope you love them as much as I do! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
