 in Beauty / Fragrance  tagged bath products / laura mercier / reviews / summer 2012 by

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.

Laura Mercier’s “La Petite Patisserie Trio” is priced at $45 and will be available through May or until supplies last. The set includes the 90ml Crème Body Wash, 85g Soufflé Body Crème and the 14.8ml Eau Gourmand which is an eau de toilette formula.

 in Beauty / Nail Polish  tagged chanel / chanel nail polish / reviews / summer 2012 by

Chanel’s summer 2012 make-up collection has hit store shelves and the nail polish colors do not disappoint. Chanel has created “Holiday,” “Delight” and “Island” for the hot weather season and the colors evoke feelings of warm weather vacation attire. Chanel’s summer 2012 colors not only blend well with summer’s color palette, they offer hues which will blend easily with fall’s color palette, making them the perfect nail polish shades for transitioning into the cool weather season.

“Holiday” is the perfect shade of orange which works well with 2012’s “Tangerine Tango.” This red-orange hue is deep enough to be worn into fall and will work well with both summer wardrobes the fall 2012 runway color palette.

“Delight” is a sparkling taupe color which is a great neutral for the Fashionista who wears an orange and red color palette one day and then a blue and green color palette the following day. The medium taupe shade combined with the sparkles make this a great shade for both summer and fall.

“Island” is cool pinkish beige which will work perfectly with a summer tan. The neutral nature of the shade makes this a good choice for a Fashionista who is having fun this season with the bright or pastel color trend. “Island” plays well with every color from soft, baby pastels through to neon hues. This is also a nail polish color which will look fabulous on the beach. Love it!

Chanel’s summer 2012 nail polish colors are perfect for the summer color palette and for transitioning into fall 2012. Which color is your favorite? “Holiday?” “Delight?” or is it “Island?”

Laura Mercier Lavender Cloud nail polish review

 in Beauty / Nail Polish  tagged laura mercier / pastels / purple / reviews / spring 2012 / summer 2012 by

Laura Mercier’s hot new nail polish, Lavender Cloud, will arrive on store shelves on May 1, 2012 and the hot hue is sure to have nail polish enthusiasts running for the Laura Mercier beauty counter! Lavender Cloud by Laura Mercier is a limited edition nail polish color which is part of the new, limited edition summer collection, “Belle Nouveau Collection.”

Lavender Cloud by Laura Mercier is a vibrant shade of lavender which offers opaque nail coverage without streaking. The overall finish offers beautiful color saturation, and without a top coat, leaves a shiny, luxurious look on nails.

Laura Mercier’s Lavender Cloud is the perfect shade of lavender. The color saturation and vibrancy of the hue allows the nail polish to blend well with both bright colors and pastels; which is important for nail polish! This allows a Fashionista to wear her favorite Paris pastels one day, and then wear bright, New York runway hues the next without having to worry about her nail polish clashing with her ensemble. Love that!

Lavender Cloud by Laura Mercier will be available starting on May 1, 2012 and will remain on store shelves until June 30, 2012 or until supplies last. Lavender Cloud is priced at $18 and can be found at Bloomingdale’s, Bergdorf Goodman, Henri Bendel, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue and select Belk, Blue Mercury, Lord & Taylor and Macy’s stores. Of course, Lavender Cloud will also be available online at Laura Mercier’s website lauramercier.com
