Just watching this video after having purchased the bare minerals starter kit... I wish I would have thought about laura mercier... BUT I'm using the original mineral powder and it does look good. gives you a very natural coverage and glow. best part is, they now have the sifters with their makeup!
FINALLY, someone who uses "my colors"...colors I love. I enjoyed this haul and have watched a few Laura Mercier Mineral reviews and mine is on the way (can't wait to use it). I hated Bare Minerals (got in all the lines, pores, etc.). I am 58 so I don't need to look older.
Love your lipstick choices as well as your taste in general.
@alyyk123 I wasted so much money on BE. The bismuth made my skin itch the minute I put on the foundation and I could never achieve the level of coverage I wanted without it looking dry and patchy. LM's mineral makeup is so much more superior in all aspects, really. BE is popular but it's definitely not meant for my skin =)
i love the eye makeup you're wearing in this, you have applied it perfectly :)
could you do a tutorial on the eye makeup you have on please? and sorry this is a long comment but which nail varnish are you wearing? its gorgeous :)
@thesophieduncan Why, thank you! ;) The varnish is OPI's Melon of Troy. And I already have a tutorial posted for that look! It's the Matte Makeup + YSL Touche Eclat How-To Tutorial =)
I love your hauls, they're so straightforward and you don't ramble a lot :)
Do you have oily skin? Please do a review on the Revlon PhotoReady foundation some time :) (I tried commenting this on Part 2, but for w/e reason it kept saying "error, try again" and even after refreshing 10 times it still didn't go through)
Have you ever tried the Chanel Tweed Blush in pink? If you did, what do you think of it? BTW, I just purchased the illamsqua blush in katie after you mentioned it here but I'm waiting for it to arrive. (actually, i've been buying a lot of the stuff you reviewed, lol)
Have you seen or purchased the Limited Edition Chanel Palette. It is called Les Regards De Chanel. I think it is for eyebrows, eye liner and eyeshadow in one palette. I wonder what you think of it and if you have purchased it
Yes, it's actually been available for a few months now. But I don't want to pay $70 and shipping for that palette, as I don't think it's special enough to merit the price tag =)
Thanks for responding back. I really enjoy your channel because I love Chanel! Have you seen the online exclusive for the new Coco lipstick in Teheran. I guess it is only sold online. I cannot decide if I should order it. I wish I could see it in person but it sounds pretty. I think it just came out today
Teheran was released as a store exclusive when the Rouges launched. I am not 100% sure but I believe it was Saks. I won't be purchasing it, as I have seen swatches and don't think it suits my style but it's another gorgeous lippie!
Loooove your videos !!! Finally I find someone ,who has same skin type and needs . I will definitelly try many of your recomendations :) thanks sooo much !
Hi Rae, I had a request to make. I know you are busy, so no rush. =]
Can you make a comparison between mascaras? I think most people look for volume and thickness, but I like lengthening and clean lashes. I love the Shu Uemura because it looks so clean! It just accentuates every individual lash. Could you do a review of what kind of mascaras are good for what? Thank you!
I will try to do a mascara review and comparison probably in two or three months max. If you like length, try the Estee Lauder Turbo-Lash. It is amazing for lash separation and length!!
It is Melon of Troy by OPI. I personally think it looks better on camera. In person, it's pretty bright and slightly more frosty than how it reads in my video!
I've been finding myself constantly checking youtube to see if you have updated lol. I love watching your video's and your reviews are soo balanced and clear. My shopping list keeps increasing with every video i watch ^^. I'm definitely eying up the LM stuff.
I love hearing that you keep checking for my updates! I try to post as many videos as possible but I've had my hands full with school, work, and my family. Thank you so much for all the wonderfully kind comments; they're truly appreciated! Definitely check out LM. She is very underrated but her products are amazing!
I love the Laura Mercier make-up products, so will def look into this after this review! I never did use the Bare essen products, really didn't like it. How would you compare the Turbo Lash Vibrating Mascara vs the YSL Faux Cils? Great haul, can't wait for the next one!
hey Rae....great review/haul....can you please recommend me where I can buy this Laura Mercier online? I am from The Netherlands, studying in Austria Europe.
Haha. Don't be, I'm not. I can't wait to go pick up my Rouge Coco lipsticks on Friday. I called ahead and had them placed on hold for me in case my colors were sold out.
love the haul!!! gave you 5 stars! your so lucky you can afford getting all of this makeup i get excited to watch your haul videos!!! i'm going to have to get that lipstick/gloss duo it looks so pretty1! <3
haha I'm not lucky; I work a lot! ;) And the MK/EE lipgloss and lipstick are so much more impressive in person. Not a big fan of the lipstick's packaging but they're so gorgeous on the lips!
I finally went and bought the Shiseido mascara after watching your review. It does hold the curls like you said. i used alone...maybe, i will try layering with another mascara to get the effect look.
Yes, me too! LOL I plan to get the S100 series, the gorgeous orange-handled brushes. But it's $369 for a set of 8 so...we'll see how long it takes me to save up for them haha
I own three MAC blushes: Cubic, Peaches, and Buff. I used to have a few more, including Melba, but I gave them to my twin sister. MAC blushes are lovely, especially the mattes. Some, like Well Dressed, could be more pigmented. NARS blushers have better pigmentation but I feel that MAC blushers have longer wear and are best for those who want buildable coverage, hence a more versatile range of color.
I've heard a lot of good things about the LM mineral line, thinking of picking some up after I finish my bare escentuals. Can't wait for your tut/review, could you do it using your HD camera if it's not too much trouble?
I actually already filmed the tutorial using my regular camera. If anything, I will post my next haul video wearing the LM minerals and use my HD camera. I'll be posting the tutorial today or tomorrow and the next haul should be posted in the last week of March!
Thanks for posting awesome reviews ^^ you know so much about all the products. I just purchased Chanel's Rouge Coco in Mademoiselle and I love the color, smell, and metal case!
LM's mineral makeup is fantastic! I was afraid to try it because of my disastrous experience with Bare Escentuals but it's seriously worth your time. Thanks for watching!
