Laura Mercier’s Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color is a new lipstick alternative from Laura Mercier. A fusion between lip gloss and cream lipstick, Laura Mercier’s Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color “paints” on your lips like a gloss, while offering the finish of a cream lipstick. Love that!

As lipstick trends toward darker hues in cream or matte finishes for the spring and summer seasons, Laura Mercier’s Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color is the perfect lipstick alternative to rocking this trend. Instead of worrying about a thick cream or matte lipstick which can cake up, as well as travel past your lip lines while on, Laura Mercier’s Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color stays exactly where you “paint” it on, and offers the lightweight feeling of a gloss. Perfection 😉

I tested out Laura Mercier Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color in “Red Brick” from the spring 2015 collection. This lip color offers a classic red hue which looks like a timeless red, cream lipstick. I loved how it felt lightweight like a gloss. Sometimes cream lipstick is too thick and does not stay in place on my lips. Laura Mercier’s Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color stayed exactly where I put it on my lips; giving me long lasting, worry-free color!

In addition to “Red Brick,” Laura Mercier’s new Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color comes in a variety of classic, and of-the-moment hues including Coral Reef, Fuchsia Mauve, Golden Peach, Orchid Pink, Petal Pink, and Vermilion Red. You can find Laura Mercier’s Paint Wash Liquid Lip Color online here.


Chanel Peche Nagree nail polish review

Last winter, Chanel repromoted four nail polish colors which had been huge hits in previous seasons. Chanel’s sweet peachy nail polish color, Peche Nagree, from Spring 2011, was one of the four hues repromoted and it is ideal for the spring season.

Chanel Peche Nagree nail polish is a soft peachy hue which is classic and easy to wear daily. If you are looking for a timeless nail polish shade, this is it! Peche Nagree has a pale orange and pink blend which offers color on the nails; without competing with jewelry or apparel. It fades into the background; an ideal color for wearing prints and mixing bright hues this spring season.

I tested out Chanel Peche Nagree nail polish with two coats of color, one base coat, and no top coat. The nail polish lasted a bit longer than most Chanel nail polishes; it lasted eight days! Love that! 

Chanel Peche Nagree nail polish can be found online here, and here.

Christian Louboutin’s spring 2015 “Python Vulcano Limited Edition Nail Colour Coffret” contains three, beautiful hues for the warm weather season. The three colors include, Salonu, Hot Chick, and True Blue. These beautiful nail colors can be used together to create nail art, or worn separately on their own. Either way, Christian Louboutin’s spring 2015 nail polish collection offers everything you need in a box for the spring season. Love that!

The thin brushes on Christain Louboutin’s nail polishes are ideal for nail art. If you are like me and you like to wear a solid color, they are a little bit cumbersome and difficult to manage. The long stem of the brush makes the painting tool unbalanced. If you don’t mind a little bit of a hassle while you paint your nails, then the result is worth the effort. Christian Louboutin’s nail polish is fabulous. It offers stunning color and it is long lasting. It also does not use toxic ingredients which can seep through your nails into your blood stream. Love that!

Since blue is my favorite color, I was excited to test out True Blue by Christian Louboutin from the spring 2015 collection. This beautiful blue hue offers a remarkable cobalt blue color. It is about one to two shades darker than medium blue, and it captures the essences of cobalt blue and also royal blue perfectly. True Blue by Christian Louboutin teeters between the cold and warm spectrum of color. This makes it an easy color to wear with both cool and warm color tones. Easy to match anything I wear = LOVE!

I tested out Christian Louboutin True Blue nail polish with two coats of color and one base coat; no top coat. The nail polish lasted for eight days before chipping! I absolutely adore this shade of blue, and I look forward to wearing Christian Louboutin True Blue nail polish this spring 2015 season.
