These are some products I've bought over the last month so I've had some time to test them out on different occasions.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer: I bought this because of all the hype surrounding it (loads of great reviews) but it doesn’t quite measure up to my expectations. It is mostly what it claims; lightweight, sheer coverage and does even out skin tones quite nicely if your skin pretty good to start with. What killed it for me though, is how poorly it reacts to water. I'm a little bit of a clean freak in the sense that I brush my teeth about 3-4 times a day so my mouth/chin comes into contact with water quite a bit. This tends to run a little, and turns into a tinted milky-coloured residue. Not really water resistant.
Overall it’s a great natural finish if all you want is to even out your skin tone a little but don't expect it to cover up any distinct blemishes/marks.

Deleteim loving these beauty posts.. even if i run a fashion blog myself, i'd always wanted to do cosmetic reviews too, but my camera just wouldn't do justice to pigmentation/texture etc of the products.. but this post from you is definitely a good start! :D

I totally get what you mean! I don't think I could ever run a pure fashion or beauty blog. I love too many things to just focus on one. Thanks for the words of encouragement :)
DeleteAwesome first post, darling! I was going to try out the Mercier Tinted moisturizer but I think I'll hold off thanks to your review. I love discovering other blogs so close to home. We are based in Victoria, just a short ferry ride away :)
