l'oreal lipstick spring 2017 review

There are three fabulous types of lipsticks from L’Oreal Paris to wear this spring 2017 season. The new Infallible Paints Lipcolor, Infallible Pro-Matte Gloss, and two fabulous shades of L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche lipstick.

The new L’Oreal Paris Infallible Paints Lipcolor collection includes 14 new lip colors! They fill in the lip with bold color; which is a huge street trend right now. The intense color is bold, and for me, more of a nighttime lip color. They are statement-making colors which are a-ma-zing!

Like all lipsticks from L’Oreal Paris, the Infallible Paints don’t dry out your lips, and the color stays put. Love that!

Of course, L’Oreal Paris is also showing their fabulous Infallible Pro-Matte Gloss for spring 2017 in Statement Nude (316), and in Shanghai Scarlet (308).  These colors are perfect for spring; Statement Nude is in line with the beige lip trend, and Shanghai Scarlet is a classic, spring/summer red. Love!

If you are looking more for a classic lipstick, L’Oreal Paris has you covered. The two perfect hues for spring 2017 from the L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche lipstick collection are Blushing Berry (590), and Raisin Rapture (892).  Blushing Berry is a classic, medium berry hue which is perfect to wear on a daily basis. Raisin Rapture is a bold, dark berry which fits in perfectly with the current vampy lip trend for spring 2017. Love!

My absolute favorite color from L’Oreal’s spring 2017 lipstick collection is the Color Riche lipstick in Blushing Berry, color number 590. Berry hues are hot in lipstick for the spring 2017 season, and this is an easy, everyday berry lipstick. It matches everything! Love!

As you know, I tend to shy away from cream lipstick, but L’Oreal’s Colour Riche lipstick collection doesn’t smear, run, clump, or dry out lips. It is one of the few cream lipsticks on the market I recommend. It is my go-to cream lipstick this season!

Christian Louboutin Loubichrome spring 2017 nail polish review

Christian Louboutin nail polish is hotter than hot; but oftentimes the price tag is bit off-putting. So for spring 2017, Christian Louboutin created a collection of mini’s, which are not that mini, and priced them at a competitive $30 a bottle. Love that!

This is a price point people expect to pay for luxury nail polish. Most premiere designers offer their nail colour at a price tag between $25-$35, so at $30 a bottle, Christian Louboutin has hit a price point home run.

For spring 2017, Christian Louboutin’s nail polish collection, Loubichrome, offers three bright nail polish hues. No beige or vamp for Louboutin this spring! The three colors are neon yellow, vivid fuchsia, some may call it neon violet, and a neon watermelon hue. These are not shy colors!

My favorite color of the Christian Louboutin Loubichrome collection is color number Iii, which is the neon fuchsia hue. This also happens to be the color selling out first from stores. If you want it, you can still find it in stock online here and online here.

I tested out Christian Louboutin Loubichrome Iii nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and no top coat. The polish lasted a full week! The week I wore it I took down my Christmas decorations, and my nail polish did not chip. Love that!

It seems as though the brush has been modified for spring 2017 as well. The brush in my Christian Louboutin Loubichrome mini was not as skinny as in other bottles I own of Christian Louboutin nail polish. It was still thin, but much easier to use. Love!

This is a great color alternative to spring 2017’s collection of grey’s, beige’s, pale pinks, and vampy colors. Sometimes you just need to brighten up the day! One of the Loubichrome nail polish colors will do just that!

The color I chose, Loubichrome Iii, is selling out quickly. If this is your favorite color from the collection, you can find it in stock online here and online here. Act quickly though, it is gone at most stores already! You can also find the remaining collection online here.

Laura Mercier Stickgloss Rouge a Levres gloss review

If you have been following along, you may already know I am a sucker for sheer lipsticks. I am not a huge fan of thick, cream lipsticks, or sticky lipglosses. When I noticed Laura Mercier Stickgloss Rouge a Levres, I was intrigued! The packaging labeled it as a “gloss,” yet it appeared to be a lipstick. Hmmmm. . . this looked like a fun investigation!

Since spring lipstick is either golden, beige, or vampy, I decided to try out Black Orchid in Laura Mercier’s Stickgloss Rouge a Levres. Why not go vampy when trying out a gloss? Black Orchid is vampy indeed! It is a dark purple color which is edgy yet seasonally appropriate. Love that!

I was not quite sure what to expect in a stickgloss. Would it be sticky like a lipgloss, or would it be smooth like a sheer lipstick? When I applied my new Laura Mercier Stickgloss Rouge a Levres in Black Orchid, I was pleasantly pleased! It applies just like a sheer lipstick. Three cheers for no stickiness! Whoo-hoo!

The composition of sheer lipstick is lightweight and natural; which is exactly what this lipstick feels like. There isn’t anything sticky, slimy, or annoying about it. Love that!

The part of Laura Mercier’s Stickgloss which is glossy, is how it looks. There is more color, or pigment, then with a sheer lipstick. In fact, the color also has some shine; which is what gives off that glossy effect. It really is perfection in a tube.

I love how Black Orchid looks. It gives off that perfectly on-trend, dark, vampy lipstick look without being too dark and costumy. After all, I am a Mother of three, I cannot walk around in stage makeup. Can you imagine? Yikes!

Laura Mercier’s Stickgloss Rouge a Levres is a new favorite of mine. I am looking forward to trying out new colors as the seasons progress. You can find it in many color choices online here.
