Fan Favorite : Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20

A recent text I got this past weekend from a pleased friend prompted me to write this post. My girl had been looking for a new and improved foundation and I recommended this awesome tinted moisturizer, my go-to whenever someone is looking for intense but natural-looking coverage. She fell in love after just one application and used a lot of exclamation points in her corresponding text.

Laura Mercier's Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 covers and conceals like a foundation but feels like a light-weight moisturizer. Really, anything from the Mercier Flawless Face collection is sweeeeeet but this particular product never fails. For some reason, my hormones decided to kick my skin's ass this past week, so mama is a little broken out. But I had no fear because I knew I housed this tint in my arsenal and used it all week to pretend like I had flawless skin. I highly recommend this product year round.

Fan Favorite : Sephora Cream Lip Stain

My lips are constantly getting a workout. I talk and eat a lot during the day and, with a little help of a whiskey and Coke (or five), I kiss everyone in sight at night. Thank goodness I have found my go-to lip stain.

Sephora’s newest cream lip stain provides a concentrated, lasting color without the drying properties of other long-lasting lipsticks. I really like the pinkish nude color (05 Infinite Rose) for every day use and the bright berry red (03 Strawberry Kissed) for night. I actually used the red just the other night for a Sunday sock hop session and it looked great until 2:30 a.m.! If I had had a booty call, I would have showed up looking mighty fine.

Because of its creamy application, the stain does not flake or leave that annoying line along the back of the lips. However, I have talked to a few ladies who did find it a tad drying. I recommend lightly dabbing some Rosebud Salve to provide some emollient once your let the stain dry.

I plan on getting the classic red (01 Always Red). I am always in line for the next best rouge. My only complaint is the lip stain does not come in any sort of coral. I love me some orangey pink lips. Hopefully, Sephora plans to expand this line with more variety.
