My Product Endorsement of the Day is
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer
I happened upon this little gem while I was in Nordstrom waiting for my turn at the MAC counter. I wanted to look extra special for my cousins wedding. As I was patiently standing in line, I heard a "Pstt" and saw a girl gesture me over to her counter. I'd never even heard of Laura Mercier, but thought, hey why not.
Now, I'm not a huge make-up wearer. Two things keep me from it on a daily basis. Lateness and Laziness. I feel like I don't have time to put on a "full face" in the morning. I'd rather sleep for another 15 minutes. So for special events, I let the professionals do their thing.
Over the years, I've purchased many brands of foundations that the make-up person assures me is SO easy and quick to apply. Um, not so much. It usually ends up thick and requires a lot of blending to ensure that I don't look like Joan Crawford in her stage makeup in Mommy Dearest. But alas, I have finally been rewarded for my commitment to finding the flawless face.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer is easy to apply and stays with me all day. It blends wonderfully without a "cakey" feeling. I'm not afraid of my cheek brushing up against the collar of my coat and leaving a smudge. You can use it in conjunction with foundation or on it's own. I prefer to use it alone. It already has SPF 20 added, so if you choose to mix, it's a great way to add SPF to your existing foundation.
It garnered two Allure Best of Beauty awards. So novice make-up appliers stand up. There is hope for us yet. The moisturizer retails for $42.00 and is available at various major department and cosmetic stores such as Sephora. You can also buy it online at Laura Mercier's website.
The Laura Mercier website is hosting a one-day sale on February 18th. They are offering free next day shipping. If you're as impatient as I am, this is a great offer.
