Mini Sephora Haul- Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Flawless Fluide


Do I need another foundation? Probably not. But after I tried the sample size of the Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Flawless Fluide from Sephora, I am truly impressed with it and decided to order it online when ebates.com offered 10% cash back.



There are 24 shades offered for this foundation and it is much easier to find  your perfect shade. I picked up a couple of shades at the store and the nice sales associate matched me with the shade Honey.


The foundation comes in a plastic bottle with a narrow squeeze applicator. Since the foundation is very liquid-y, you have to shake the bottle before you dispense the product. The problem with this is after you shake this, some product would have already come out, making a bit of a mess. With the design of the bottle, it is supposed to be stored with the opening faced down. I am not sure about this and know I will waste a lot of product stored this way. I may have to try to store it upside down to prevent product from spilling out. 

But other than the flaws of the design of the packaging, this foundation is pretty amazing. If you like light to medium coverage, this is the one for you. I would say this is very similar to the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation, only better suited for oily combo skin as my skin stays matte mostly throughout the day without being powdered.




This Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation Serum is offered with one of their promotions. It comes in a pleasantly surprised deluxe sample size(10 ml). I have heard a lot of great reviews about this brand and have not tried so very excited to see what the hype is all about.


 Samples with my order, which is always a plus. Whether I use them up or not is another question. My sample drawer is getting full.
