hi beauties and welcome back to my
channel in today's video
i'm going to do a product review i am
testing out the new laura mercier
translucent setting powder in
honey and it's just
like honey
i don't know any words anymore that's a
90s song or 2000s
so if you'd like to find out my initial
thoughts on this product
then just keep watching
so i have to use these product reviews
as an opportunity
to film a makeup tutorial because you
guys don't necessarily
like makeup tutorials i get it
everybody's an expert now they don't
need to watch a makeup tutorial
i love creating a full face of makeup
we're gonna get ready
and then i'll speed through some of
these parts and
then we're gonna test out this powder
one more thing guys
today's video is a giveaway video yay
in today's video i'm going to announce
my august giveaway items
so stay tuned for that you guys know
it's my summer in the sun
it's been a little bit more low-key this
year a lot of times i will film
a giveaway video for every single month
and this time i've just incorporated it
into
my regular video uploads let's get
started i'm ready to put something on my
face
i'm going to apply this lip treatment
this is fresh sugar
advanced therapy lip treatment
i was added to i don't know if it's
permanent or temporary but i was added
to
a pr list for fresh and they sent me a
cute little package
it included this and this is so good
i don't talk about their lip balms or
lip treatments that often
but i do use them a lot what is it with
me in the boxes oh my god
all right i'm going to start off with my
airbrush flawless
setting spray from charlotte tilbury
wayne goss talked about this product and
how much he really likes it but it has
this
very intense floral fragrance and i
really did not notice it
when i first tried this out but he's
right just fyi
this is the mini size but it is a good
setting spray it's a 16 hour setting
spray
lately i've been applying setting sprays
as my prep spray just to increase the
longevity of my foundation
today we are going to be using the skin
fetish
sublime perfection foundation medium 18
is the shade
of this one this is one of my absolute
favorite foundations oh love it
I'ma apply it with the brush here we're going
to start with just
oh whoa whoa whoa i still need a little
bit of primer
we're going to put on the bobbi brown
bobby brown face base
been using this a lot lately in the
summer months
a lot of my foundation routines that i
have been posting lately
have just really included trying to
keep my makeup on in the heat
tarte smoothing primer timeless smoothing
primer might be the name of this one
never can remember it it has been so
super hot lately that i've just really
been trying to keep everything on my
face
and especially underneath the face mask
i do have a face mask video
this is light especially in the
summertime
but i will deepen it but i just love
the finish of this stop it dogs
when i picked this out i picked out a
shade that was a little bit too light
but i'm afraid to go with a darker shade
and this is an it cosmetics foundation
brush we're going to do the dior
dior forever skin correct and 3w
peach me and these dark circles
but what do i expect i am 47
now i had a birthday
my birthday is august 4th meghan markle
and president obama's birthday are also
august 4th
i've really been loving this concealer
it just looks so good and it looks
really good on my nose
always looks good on my nose but it
likes the beauty blender so i like to
apply it with the beauty blender
i noticed the last time that i wore this
that it really seems to minimize my
pores it may be this and my skin care
i've been doing different things with my
skin care one product like
is something i talked about in a recent
video
lavie i think was the name of the brand
that sent me this product
and they sent me like a skincare system
and i've been using it and
my skin looks really nice i get sent a
lot of stuff that's kind of unknown
brands
you know like smaller youtubers we get
sent things like that
and people don't always watch it or buy
it
because it's a brand they've never heard
of a lot of times when i've been sent
these products
it's been good stuff i will test them
out because
a lot of times it's really good i'm just
going to go in with a little bit more
second layer here and the corners of my
mouth
i just keep thinking of places where i
could use it
it's time okay okay
all right okay that's all i do i like
this packaging
it's really cute here i can imagine on
the shelf it'll be easy to pick it out
sometimes the packages for some of these
brands look
so similar that you go home with the
wrong thing i think this looks a little
different than their other packaging
here we go and you do get one full ounce
of this product
oh i'm so glad that this is easy to peel
off
we do have the sifter here and i do have
my regular laura mercier powder
so that we can do a little bit of a
comparison so this is the honey shade
here is my regular translucent powder
here we go now you can see the two
and i have a lot of lights going on in
here it's really bright outside too
so you might not be able to see that
this
is probably a little deeper
than it looks on camera it's almost a
peachy
yellow a peach yellow if it was a crayon
and then this is a creamy white so i'm
interested to see
how this will work to set my under eye
i really like the original translucent
powder under my eye
i just like that brightness this works
for me so i'm
interested to see will this honey shade
be too deep for me
or will it just add a different type of
look will it be
perfect i don't know and i'm also going
to
use this medium deep to set the rest of
my face
honey and medium deep very different
so this definitely was a shade that was
necessary i think
to add to their lineup do this again
get rid of those lines
okay the iconic translucent loose
setting powder sets makeup for 12 hour
weightless wear for matte finish
this no flashback formula creates a soft
focus effect
to subtly blur the look of fine lines
and imperfections without looking cakey
and i'm putting a generous amount for
one i'm putting it on here
to help my makeup last but i also want
to make sure that you can see
the color so i'm going to add a little
more
i actually like this it does look
yellow it looks more yellow on my skin
like it just looks like a yellow like a
yellow powder like a banana powder
but i can see why they called it honey
because it's deeper
you know than banana would be
yeah i'm smelling i thought i was
smelling laura mercier
but i'm smelling the nikkia joy because i
didn't wash this brush
before i used it i don't really think
this has a fragrance
i'm going overboard i know i am
i want to apply my medium deep
in the other areas of my face
so i'm just using a different brush and
this just helps to add
a little definition and contrast that's
how i like to use it
if you have deeper skin then this medium
deep might be
just perfect a perfect translucent
powder for you
but for me i just like using it to add a
little bit more contrast
before bronzer and so forth while that
bakes a little bit i'm going to apply my
brows and i'll be right back
let's dust it off
i like the color
a lot
yeah this video is more about showing
you guys the color
than anything else because i already
know i love laura mercier powder
i already know it so you guys see
how it looks i like this so far i really
like the color of the powder of course i
love
how the powder is smooth and
everything else is the same as my normal
laura mercier powder
so let's go ahead and complete the look
and then i'm going to talk about my
first impressions of the powder
i really feel like i have to get my full
face on to be able to tell the
difference between
this honey shade and my regular laura
mercier
translucent powder experience so we're
going to speed through this part
make sure that you stick around because
you're not going to
know what this looks like if you don't
see the end so just stick around
new i am trying one more new product
this is the tinted smudge
proof eyeshadow base from nars
i have tried nars eyeshadow base before
but this is my first time trying this
one
in this shade this one is the shade
medium
and i purchased this because i lost
a brand new urban decay
eyeshadow primer after i filmed my last
video i lost the eyeshadow primer i
don't know what happened to it
it was brand new i don't know where it
is it's somewhere in here but i can't
find it so i had to buy
a new eyeshadow primer i decided to try
the nars again because i did like this
like the original one and i have faith
that i'm gonna
find my other one and i didn't want to
have two of them so we're gonna just
use this beauty blender to spread this
out
i just thought i would try this medium
shade just to see what it looks like
i'm gonna put a little more powder a
small amount
since i am applying eye shadow just a
small amount
we're gonna go with the naked reloaded
palette today
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
so we're going to talk about the powder
but before we do that let me go ahead
and tell you guys what i'm giving away
in today's video
i'm giving away the naked reloaded
eyeshadow palette
it's the palette that you saw me use
today to create
the eyeshadow look i'm wearing and i'm
also giving away the
eyes uncomplicated brush set
this is a sephora brush set and i love
sephora brushes
i don't have this brush set but i love
sephora brushes
and i thought this would be helpful to
anyone who's
needing to add to their eyeshadow brush
collection it has five eyeshadow brushes
and
again this is the palette i'm giving
away here is my palette
voila this is what it looks like i
thought this would be a good palette to
give away
because i love naked eyeshadows some of
my favorite eyeshadow palettes are from
the brand naked
this is going to give you a beautiful
everyday
eyeshadow look i am the type of person
that creates more wearable
eyeshadow looks than i do super bold i
thought this would be
good for my viewers because hopefully if
you're watching me you're the type of
person
that likes more wearable looks so i
thought that you all would get a lot
out of this palette no matter what your
complexion is because you have this deep
chocolate you can deepen just about any
eyeshadow look that you create
i really like this palette and i thought
that you guys would like it too
so i'm going to talk about the powder
and then at the end of the video i'm
going to tell you what you have to do to
enter to win this giveaway
i like the powder i don't know
that i see a huge huge difference
on my complexion from the original
powder
i think it is a hint more yellow you
guys let me know and i think
when i watch this back i'll be able to
tell with certainty like with all
certainty and i'll
leave information in the description box
or in the comments down below
but i think i see yellow it's definitely
more
golden than the original powder it adds
a little bit more warmth
to my skin without me looking yellow
it's a very natural hue i still think it
brightens
down the center of my face i don't think
that i
am exceptionally bright maybe when i
wear
laura mercier the original that maybe
i'm a little brighter
and this is a little more natural
looking on me
you guys let me know in the comments i'm
just this is first impression just
trying to
trying to figure it out you know you
guys saw it is distinctly
more yellow than the original and of
course it is just
beautiful by laura mercier standards
like i i feel like
my skin looks just as good as it always
looks whenever i use laura mercier i'm
pleased with it
and definitely recommend it but i wanted
to just demo it here for you guys
for anyone who is trying to determine
what it would look like on their skin if
