Product Review – Laura Mercier Pressed Setting Powder

I tried a Laura Mercier product – a Sexy Lips Sheer Lipstick some months ago, and I liked it a lot. Since then, I have been on the lookout for other Laura Mercier products. I needed a setting powder, so I decided to try the Laura Mercier Pressed Setting Powder and I am glad I did. I was super impressed.

I love trying new beauty products. It is always a good feeling when I come across a beauty product I like. It does not happen every time but when it does, I make sure I hold on to that product. And I usually write a review post too so all my readers know all about it. I have a couple of beauty products I will be reviewing in the next few months and I can’t wait to tell you all about them. I recently came across some Korean BB creams, so reviews will be coming on those at some point. But back to this review, here is a brief description of this setting powder –

This convenient pressed powder version of our best-selling Translucent Loose Setting Powder. It feels luxuriously dense in the compact, feels silky-light and refined on your skin. It applies evenly and blends effortlessly.

I was very happy with this product description. I bought it online so I had the opportunity to read it as well as the various reviews. So I had a good idea of what to expect. I didn’t have to worry about getting the right shade, so buying online was the best option for me.

Product Review: skin Chemists Placenta Serum & Moisturiser

I had the opportunity to review the skin Chemists Placenta Serum and Moisturiser some weeks ago, and I grabbed the opportunity with both hands. I am a huge fan of the skin Chemists brand. I used the skin Chemists Coldtox Activ+ Professional Facial Treatment some months ago, and it did good wonders to my skin.  So I was very excited when these landed on my doorstep.

I have used the skin Chemists Placenta Serum and Moisturiser for weeks now. Here are my thoughts on both products –

PROS

  1. I love the packaging of both products. I like the fact that they come in a pump dispenser. So compact and easy to take away on holiday.
  2. The moisturiser smells AMAZING. I could sniff it all day.
  3. I love the texture of the moisturiser and serum. They feel amazing on the skin.
  4. They leave my skin feeling and looking silky smooth, and very radiant.
  5. They are suitable for every skin type, even sensitive skin.
  6. A little goes a long way. You only need to massage a small amount onto your face.

CONS

  1. I found both products made my skin feel a little dry, so I always massaged a small amount of face oil after applying these.
