Two-Timing Wonders

Two
Very rarely does a makeup product really deliver on its promises... but these two-timing wonders have made it into the Venti hall of fame. A glosser & plumper that really does both (thank you, Dior!), my longtime favorite tinted Moisturizer (Laura Mercier is a genius) and a new staple: the Clarins Gentle Exfoliating wash. Why pay for two products when one will do beautifully.

The Tinted Moisturizer from Laura Mercier has 20 SPF. In all fairness, I still use a moisturizer AND an SPF (the Clarins UV Plus w/ 40 UVA/UVB SPF) but I can't seem to find any foundation or tint that leaves my skin as dewy as this product. There's something really special about the contents of this tube that keeps me going back for more. The oil-free version doesn't impress me as much, but the "Nude" in the regular formula matches my skin perfectly.

So... any beauty secrets you'd like the share?

What the beautiful people are saying...

LOVE LM products! She's a genius

I think so too, Ashley. Her glosses and bronzers are fantastic as well. Try as I might, I can't find anything to replace the Nude Tinted Moisturizer. I just love it!

Oh God you are a genius person and a good photographer i like your pics thanks.

Something to say, gorgeous?
