Laura Mercier Luxurious Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Fresh Raspberry: Juicy NEW shade for Spring 2013


As you may or may not know, I'm a big fan of Laura Mercier products. I love the understated yet undoubtedly quality packaging, and the products themselves never fail to deliver. The brand new Fresh Raspberry shade of their Crème Smooth Lip Colour range is simply divine, it's fruity and fresh without being crass.


This lippy feels lovely and soft on the lips, and doesn't end up travelling across your face after a few glasses of bubbly. It ticks all my boxes: gorgeous eye-catching colour, moisturising, with stay-put-ability. Well worthy of the most fabulous of clutches.

Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Sugar Frost

Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Sugar Frost, new for Spring 2013, £18.50, available fro House of Fraser 

Laura Mercier's range of Caviar Sticks has got even better this spring, as they have released eight more gorgeous shades for seriously glam eyelids. I tried out the Sugar Frost, a subtle shimmering beige.  So pretty!
I love the classic LM packaging, simple and sophisticated as ever. The stick is great if you're on the go, you can pop it in your handbag without worrying about a shadow brush rolling around. The creamy shadow sits really nicely on the eyelids, and I found it really easy to blend. Gorgeous for a daytime glow, and buildable for those wilder evenings.

Model wears: Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Sugar Frost, Barry M Lash Modelling Extra Black Mascara, Laura Mercier Creme Eyeliner in Cobalt

Poudre Signee De Chanel Illuminating Powder: Review and Swatch


How absolutely gorgeous is this new illuminating powder by Chanel? The powder design is so ornate and beautiful that it seems like a sin to actually use it! Poudre Signee de Chanel, £46, available from Boots.com, may be a bit hefty on the price tag, but it really is 100% luxury... perhaps a justified one off splurge?

A limited edition release for Spring 2013, the 'Spirit of Chanel' powder is encased in a beautifully classic compact, which in turn is encased in a lovely little velvet pouch, complete with an applicator. So luxury, that the powder even has a crested little plastic cover (I practically squealed with delight at this little touch, although I'm not entirely sure why...)    


I can't say I was overly thrilled with the applicator, it seemed far too firm to use on the intricate palette, so I instead opted for my super soft Body Shop Face & Body Brush to sweep the illuminating powder across my cheek and brow bones. 

The powder itself has a flattering light golden-pink base, without being too OTT on the shimmer. It's a subtle enhancer, delicate and sheer with an eye-catching luminosity. The powder is long-lasting and ever so fine, it sits really well on the skin for hours after application.

  
I love the soft warmth of this highlighting powder, it adds a lovely and natural glow to the face. It's a pricey product, but serious luxury by Chanel.
