Laura Mercier “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” is a new line of finishing powder from Laura Mercier! This new collection of foundation powder is offered in a large variety of skin tone’s and can act as a powder or a foundation; or both! Love that!

I tested out color #5 and loved it. On a daily basis I prefer to only wear powder. I usually wear foundation and concealer for special occasions or at night. My skin is acne prone so I have always found the less I put on it, the better! I love Laura Mercier’s “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” because you have the option to apply it light, medium or heavy. The powder offers a lot of coverage without showing any traces of itself on the face. Love that!

In the video below I show how I applied Laura Mercier’s “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” with a powder brush. My application was light to medium. The powder instantly covered my uneven skin tone due to sun damage and also my acne. As a thirty-something, covering up my acne is imperative! Acne is embarrassing at my age!

The “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” by Laura Mercier can also be applied with a sponge. If the sponge is damp you can use it to apply the powder in lieu of liquid foundation. When dampened, the sponge with the powder offers full coverage; as if you were wearing liquid foundation but without the weight!

I am really excited to use Laura Mercier’s “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” on a daily basis. It is really easy to apply, overs a lot of coverage, is lightweight and is really fast to apply! Love that!

Laura Mercier’s “Smooth Finish Foundation Powder” is priced at $45 and can be found online here, here and here.

There is nothing like a relaxing bubble bath! Let’s face it, whether you work full time, are a full time Mommy or you are just plain stressed out-a bubble bath is your ticket to relaxation! For me, I need the perfect fragrance in my tub in order to create the perfect, relaxing bubble bath. Thankfully Laura Mercier’s line of foaming honey bath products offers the ultimate, fragrant bubble bath! Love it!

Fresh Fig Honey by Laura Mercier offers a sweet fruity-wood fragrance experience which is perfect for the cool autumn weather. The sweet scent of apricot combined with ylang-ylang starts the fragrance experience off with an invigorating, eye opening scent. After the fruity floral scent settles down the warm, woody gourmand base rises up and creates a cozy, relaxing fragrance experience throughout your bath. Loved it!

Fragrance notes: Apricot Nectar, Ylang-Ylang, rich Vanilla, exotic Sandalwood and Fig Musk.

What I love about Laura Mercier’s Fresh Fig Honey bath is how luxurious the foaming bath experience is. Laura Mercier’s Fresh Fig Honey bath offers rich bubbles which not only offer an amazing fragrance experience; they don’t pop half-way through your bath! In addition, they work like soap so I am squeaky-clean after my bubble bath! Love that!

I highly recommend Laura Mercier Fresh Fig Honey bath for the ultimate, luxurious and fragrant bubble bath. I am also a huge fan of Laura Mercier’s foaming honey bath in Ambre Vanille, crème brulee and coconut milk. Yum!

Laura Mercier’s Fresh Fig Honey bath is priced at $40 and can be found online here.

Fall has arrived and ’tis the season for pumpkins, colorful leaves, crisp air and boots! Fabulous boots! There is nothing that screams “fall” more than a comfortable, fabulous pair of boots to keep your feet warm and add pizazz to an ensemble.

This autumn 2013 season I am in love with my new pair of Naya “Apollonia” boots. These boots are so comfortable, it is a shame to take them off at the end of the day! I can walk for miles in them and feel good about every step I take. Everything about Naya is feel-good. The company is dedicated to making the world a better place through environmentally sound materials and production. Love that!

I have been a huge fan of Naya Shoes for several years now and have acquired quite the collection! Naya’s shoes and boots are excellent quality and last season after season. Every time I wear a pair of Naya Shoes from a past season people will ask me if they are new! They maintain their shape, color and fit over the years making them not only eco-chic but investment worthy!

I love how Naya’s “Apollonia” boots look with this season’s coated jeans; as well as regular jeans. They also look amazing with graphic prints, leopard print and fall’s hot leather trend! I am looking forward to wearing the “Apollonia” with a variety of different outfits throughout the season; and again next year!
