Hi friends!
About a month ago Sephora had a exclusive beauty set from Laura Mercier. Today I wanted to share with you my thoughts on the items that were included in this kit. This set cost me 500 vib points; I usually do not like to use my vib points on small kits because I do not think it was worth it when I can get samples but I was very interested in this set so I decided to just go for it!
The items were all individually wrapped in the box, which is good so that they don't get damaged.

| Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer (0.5fl oz.) |
First I want to review this tinted moisturizer. It definitely is lightweight and moisturizes my face. I still used a primer before applying this, but this is really for people with probably just redness on their face or have minor scars from acne. It has almost very very light coverage. I am a person that have a few acne scars on my face, I used this and a concealer with helped. But overall for now I still prefer foundation because my face is not that clear. Definitely worth purchasing if you are looking for a light tinted moisturizer. I also love that it has spf 20 in it to protect your face from sun damage. That gives this product a plus. The full product is $43.00, which is a downside that it is a bit on the pricey side because it is a higher end product. The color that i got is Nude, which is a little too light for my skintone but it will fit well with those who have lighter and fairer skin.
For those who have oily skin, they also have a oil free version. I have oily combo skin, and this did not make me too oily.

| Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder (0.03 oz) |
Let me first just say that this small little package is awesome for traveling! As for the the product itself it is a little hard to use because my powder brush is so big and the container is so small, but I still love using this whenever I go to stay over somewhere for 1 or 2 nights. It makes my makeup very matte looking and definitely oil absorbing. The product is $35.00 which I feel is okay because a little goes a long way. But if you are looking for an alternative, I do like Tarte Smooth Operator amazonian clay finishing powder. I put a little more on my T-zone area and that was a no no. Do not overuse this product, or else it will make you look a little white and give you a cakey feeling!

| Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Face Polish (0.4 oz) |
I was very shocked when I first used this to cleanse my face because I did not know that there were micro-beads. It is one of those light exfoliating facial products that will not be too rough with your skin. Because I did not know there were beads in this product I did use my Clarisonic and it did not damage it at all. My face did feel fresh and polished. It is $30.00 for this product, I am not sure if I would buy it because I do use my Clarisonic and I feel like that already helps "polish" my face. It is good to use this about twice a week to help your skin feeling fresh.

| Laura Mercier Lip Glace Rose (0.1 oz) |
Out of all the products, I was most disappointed in this product because I really really really do not like sticky lip gloss. This product felt sticky on my lips. I have read some reviews that said the stickyness goes away but ehh I still don't like it. It is very glossy and shiny looking which is good, also the color goes well with my lips. There is also some shimmer to the lipgloss that makes it even shinier! But like I said its a turn off to me when the lip gloss has even the slightest stickyness to it. I do like the small packaging to this product which is also why I am disappointed because I wish I did like this product enough to put it in my bag. The actual product cost $24.00 which is not too bad, if you want to try it, go to your local sephora store to swatch some colors :)

| Laura Mercier Foundation Primer |
This primer applied onto my face flawlessly. It was very lightweight and helped create a smooth surface on my face. My face also did not feel sticky after applying. Although it is a nice primer, I still prefer Hourglass Primer, which is also a little more pricey. This product only cost $32 for a full tube which is not bad because a little goes a long way!

| Swatch: Laura Mercier Primer, Tinted Moisturizer, LipGloss |
I did a quick swatch to show you the colors of the tinted moister and lipgloss. The first swatch is the primer, which you can see how sheer and lightweight it looks.

| Laura Mercier Mini Fan Brush |
This cute mini brush was what attracted me waste my points on the Laura Mercier kit in the first place. Usually we all get travel kits, but they come with the most basic brushes, I thought this was awesome that I can get a mini fan brush. Its good for traveling, the bristles are soft, it does its job when I use it to get some glitter off my face.
I hope you enjoyed my review of the products, if there are questions please feel free to leave a comment below.
Enjoy the rest of your week :)
