MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Summer 2013 Collection

Aqua Rouge - $24.00
This long-wear lip color is perfect for the summer months. You can wear the highly-pigmented liquid lip color alone or top it with the clear gloss. I like to wear it with the gloss, because I am all about a little glossy lip. The look is not only beautiful, the look is smudge-proof, non-transferable and even kiss-proof. This beauty lasts. It comes in five new vibrant shades.

• Fuschia #16
• Pomegranate Pink #19
• Baby Pink #20
• Bright Coral #17
• Coral #18

Aqua Lip - $19.00
This lip pencil is perfect for prepping your lips and is the perfect complement to Aqua Rouge. Using evaporating silicone emollients that allow the pigment to glide on the skin and set, this creamy matter lip color can be used to fill in the lips as a base, or outline them. IT comes in two new shades.

• Pomegranate Pink #19C
• Baby Pink #20C

Aqua Cream - $23.00
For intense color that lasts through even the hottest days, Aqua Cream is it. This cream based eye color offers a beautiful crease-free, smudge-proof color. Evaporating oils and a special polymer work together to set the color pigments on the skin and lock moisture out. For summer, there are three new pretty shades.

• Pearly Green Lagoon #52
• Pearly Pastel Green #53
• Pearly Mauve #54

Aqua Eyes - $19.00
If you worry about your eyeliner smudging in the heat, you don't have to any longer if you use this creamy pencil. These eyeliners do not run or smudge. It stays put, yet it glides on for easy application. The formula actually sets on the eyelid and the pigments adhere to the skin for long-lasting color. There are two new must have shades for summer.

• Matte Brown #25L
• Pearly Green Lagoon #52L

Laura Mercier Summer Nudes Lip Glacés.

Laura Mercier went nude this summer with her new Summer Nudes collection. It is a beautiful and refreshing change from many of the seasons brights. As a more natural looking makeup girl myself, this really works for me.

Laura Mercier's Summer Nudes collection pairs chic neutral shades for both the lips and nails. The collection features a variety of nude Lip Glacés and Nail Lacquers on trend for the season, offering high-shine colour with a flawless finish. Of course, I am smitten with the Lip Glacés.

The non-sticky formula of the Lip Lip Glacé provides long-lasting colour and a beautiful glossy shine. It applies evenly without feathering or bleeding. The formula actually nourishes and protects the lips. I love the creamy vanilla flavor. It' subtle, but there and yummy.

The Summer Nudes Lip Lip Glacé shades:

• Pout
• Pink Diamond
• Bare Baby
• Bare Blush
• Bare Beige
• Quartz

I have Bare Beige and Bare Blush (pictured below). Bare Beige actually looks a bit bronze in the tube, but it is really a beige shade on the lips, with just a slight amount of shimmer to it. It is one of those shimmers only seen if the light hits it right. Bare Blush is a perfect nude shade, but on the mauve side of nude. It looks very natural and beautiful on my lips. I plan to pick up Pink Diamond too.

Laura Mercier Summer Nudes Lip Glacés are available now online at lauramercier.com and at Sephora. Each  Lip Glacé sells for $24.00.

Happy Booster™ Glow & Mood Boosting Baked Bronzer

This baked formula with a gold pearlescent center that adds a nice highlight to the bronze can be used wet or ry depending on the effect you desire. I use it dry with a fluffy brush for a natural glow or wet with a sponge for a more dramatic golden bronze. It is also infused with the Physician's Formula happy boost blend that is made up of special plant extracts that are shown to promote a feeling of happiness. I can sure use that from time to time.

How-To-Wear™ Bronzer

This bronzer contains two perfectly coordinated shades to bronze and contour perfectly. In the back of the handy box is a contoured brush along with complete instructions (built right in so you never forget) showing how to apply perfectly. I really like this little box of bronze.

Bronze Booster Glow-Boosting Shimmer Veil

This is a golden bronze shimmer powder that you spray on. It is beautiful for creating a soft glow on the tops of cheekbones or for use on the shoulders and décolletage. I'll be spraying it on my daughter and all of her friends for prom tonight. I spray and then blend with a fluffy powder brush. Everyone who uses this glow-boosting powder loves it.

Sexy Booster™ Sexy Glow Bronzer

This bronzer contains a blend of both bronze and gold powders to offer up a soft, yet sexy subtle golden bronze. If you are looking to turn it up or turn it on with a bronzer, this is your pick. An unexpected plus is that this bronzer is scented with a warm vanilla fragrance and pheromones that entice the senses. How can you not love the packaging?

These little bronzed hearts in shades of bronze and gold give off a customized, pearly glow on my skin. I swirl a medium sized powder brush over the loose hearts and it picks up the right amount of bronzer each and every time. These also contain that happy boost blend to make you feel happy when wearing.

Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Airbrushing Bronzer SPF 30

I love this bronzer and it is perfect for everyday. It is gentle on the skin and contains sunscreen, which is always a plus. The formula of this bronzer is very soft and silky, and it appears airbrushed on the skin. It even blurs fine lines and wrinkles, which is always a great thing.
