Compact Eyelash Curler By Laura Mercier Review | Creates Dramatic Lashes

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

Laura Mercier Eyelash CurlerLaura Mercier's Eyelash Curler is devised to give eye the dramatic eye look by accentuating the lashes.

This curler is 2.5" X 1.5" X .75"/6.35cm X 3.81cm X 1.91cm, compact enough or travel and should be the perfect size to create the best lift and curl for the lashes.

The shape of the eyelash curler is unique compared to others, there is no need to squeeze this curler, as the easel-style handle flips down to provide the perfect amount of pressure with the cushiony pad for lasting curl without grabbing or pinching.

It has a replacement pad at the base for when the other pad is warn out.

Users Conclusions

The list below summarizes what the users think of Laura Merciers eye lash curler:

Pros

  • Easy to use
  • Travel size
  • Dramatic curl
  • No Pinching or pulling skin
  • Easy to clean

Cons

  • A little flimsy (one users opinion)

Directions For Use

Flip down the easel-style handle and position lashes into curler and gently squeeze. When desired curl is achieved, flip handle up into locked position.

To prevent less lash breakage and fall out, always curl before you apply mascara. This also stops the curler getting sticky and dirty.

To Sum Up

The reviews for the curler are first rate with the majority of the users saying how much easier it is to use. They also cherish the dramatic lashes it creates.

However, one patron did say it works well but the curler itself seems a bit flimsy compared to others.

I think the price is a little lavish at $16, as a metal curler could be bought for less than half. Although, this is a lot easier to use and more compact, plus it has a extra replacement pad.

Laura Mercier Face Polish Review | Cream Based Gommage Facial Exfoliator

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

Laura Mercier GommageLaura Mercier Face Polish Gommage Facial is a cream based scrub that should be gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin. The facial scrub is designed to leave the skin feeling smooth and toned.

The Gommage is a cleanser and exfoliant in one and is suitable for all skin types.

I have very sensitive skin that gets irritated easily by most scrubs. I find that the Gommages are so much more gentle and effective for me. As it is cream based it isn't as harsh on my skin.

You could use this everyday if needed, but I'd suggest just using it twice a week.

Users Conclusions

This face polish has very good reviews, I can't find a bad word said about it. Ladies from Sephora.com say it is gentle, smells great, leaves skin soft, doesn't dry out skin and leaves a healthy glow. What more could you ask for?

Tips

A gommage does exfoliate but it not scratchy or grainy like most others.

You apply the cream all over the face and then wait for a couple of minutes and it should feel tacky. Then using your middle finger rub back and forward over your face. It will rub off the gommage along with any dead skin.

To Sum Up

Basically everyone who has used this so far has found it works really well for exfoliating and smoothing skin.

If you want to give the Gommage a try it retails for $30. Which is expensive but according to the ladies using it, it actually works and lasts a long time.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Review | Cream To Even Skin Tones & Give A Glowing Complexion

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

Laura Mercier Tinted MoisturizerLaura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer is designed to work as a moisturizer and foundation in one. This makes applying your morning makeup before work a lot faster giving you a few extra minutes in bed.

Laura Mercier says that it is a lightweight formula will leave your skin with a natural finish and a glowing complexion.

It also contains a SPF 20 which is a sweet bonus. This will help prevent the signs of aging as unprotected sun exposure can cause photo-aging and dry skin. In result can lead to: wrinkles, liver spots, dilation of capillaries.

Good Points

Reviews on Amazon are mostly positive about this tinted moisturizer. Most users have said it is:

  • Light and sheer
  • Hydrating
  • Long lasting
  • Very natural looking

However, some users have found it to be a bit watery and so not effective at covering red spots or other blemishes.

Laura Mercier has priced this tinted moisturizer quite high at $42.00 a tube, but the majority of users think that it "deserves it's price tag". They consistently say that good things don't come cheap and that this tinted moisturizer/foundation definitely isn't cheap.
