Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation Review

Hiya!

How are my bloggies doing out there??? ^__^ I feel like I've been blogging a little bit too often lately XD There are some posts that I really want to finish before I go home, and plus I think I'm just so impatient to go home that I feel like days drag by... so slowly... orz. So I busy myself in blogging to distract myself XD

Today today todayyyy I have Laura Mercier for youuuuuuuu *sings*
Photobucket

Volume: 1.18 fl. oz./35ml
Price: $42

Swatches:
SAM_4693
My shade is "cream ivory"
SAM_4699

SAM_4704

SAM_4705

- I tried like 4 shades at the counter and I ended up matching with cream ivory. But you will see in the video it runs just a tiny bit orange. Nothing too obvious but it does make my face appear more pink (in a healthy way) than neutral. However although it makes my skin looks great, the color of my face slightly mismatches my body XD  
- If you have super dry/ flaky skin avoid this, cuz this foundation accentuates the flakiness
- Comfortable to wear, very light-weighted.
- Good coverage. Medium
- One thing I really don't like about this foundation is that it tends to flake if you don't wait for your moisturizer/ primer to completely set.
-  I really like the initial finish, but this foundation's staying power seriously sucks -__- even after setting with powder. Maybe it's just my skin type. At the end of the day I always wonder where did my foundation go... orz (I feel like that for cream foundations in general). The foundation stays well on my dry cheeks, but since I have oily nose that is where my foundation tends to disappear... which isn't cool cuz that's where I need my coverage for my redness lol -__- I think this foundation will be great for people who have dry skin.
- Most definitely not going to buy it cuz the staying power really doesn't cut it for me. lol.


I filmed this when I just woke up so if I look really tired... that's because I was! XD hahaha. And my face is usually even redder in the morning lol


I hope I didn't scare you guys with my morning face XD if I did I'm SORRY!!! XD

Laters!

  2. Your face does not look red! You have perfect skin! I really like Laura Mercier products and I've tried the moisturizing foundation that comes in a bottle. I really liked the dewey finish, but like you, it didn't match my neck! :( I tried two different shades but they just didn't match. They should make more shades.

  4. Ohhh girl please ; D I'm NOT photogenic. You think I'd post up some of the ugly photos of me? D: hell no! Seriously.. I can take 10 photos and maybe use 1 of them.. >_<" It's so frustrating!

    Ignorant fools like that fail at life. Seriously.. I cannot STAND intolerance, pointless hate (like the Justin Bieber haters currently popping up everywhere) and people who talk about things they know NOTHING about.. It's like.. are you kidding me? -__-"

    GET IT! ^^v It doesn't look cakey! : D Of course you can tell that you're wearing makeup (you always can), but it's WAYYY more subtle than ANY of the 50 powders I've tried.. XD haha.. okay, maybe not 50. But a LOT!

  13. I’ve read many rave reviews about Laura Mercier Silk Crème Foundation that’s why I also gave it a try and I was surprised on how it blended with my skin!
    xo,

    1. it does blend super nicely :D too bad it doesn't like to stay on my combination skin =/ but I suspect a good primer will take care of that problem XD
