Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Crème Compact.

One of my favorite tinted moisturizers is now available in a new cream, or as Laura says, "crème"  form. What's not to love? The formula is similar, but even easier to apply and much easier for travel. Meet Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Crème Compact.

The lightweight crème formula is super easy to blend on with a sponge or even fingers. I even like using my favorite makeup brush to apply. The finish is super soft, subtly dewy and makes skin look very natural, yet almost flawless.  With an SPF 20 and a hint of color, this portable compact is perfect for travel and touch ups on the go.

There are twelve shades to choose from.

• Porcelain - for very fair skin tones
• Blush - for fair skin with pink undertones
• Nude - Light beige for fair to light skin tones
• Sand - for light to medium skin tones
• Bisque - for light neutral complexions with balance of yellow and pink undertones
• Fawn - for medium skin with pink tones
• Almond - for light medium skin tones
• Tawny - medium skin tone with neutral undertones
• Caramel - for light tanned & olive complexions with yellow undertones
• Tan - medium to dark skin tones
• Walnut - for rich, deep skin tones
• Mocha - for deep complexions with a balance of yellow and red undertones

Right now, I am using the color Fawn to blend nicely with my self-tan. It is a medium shade with pink undertones. It looks darker in the compact than it is. Remember, it may look like a foundation, but it is still a tinted moisturizer. The color is more like a wash of color, so it is lighter when going on, and more forgiving than the liquid formula.

The Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Crème Compact is for sale for $45.00 right now online at lauramercier.com and in Sephora.

Yes To Cucumbers Color Protection Shampoo & Conditioner.

You probably spend a fortune, not to mention a lot of time, on your hair color. You need to protect it from fading, of course.  The best way to do that is with a sulfate-free shampoo. There is a new sulfate-free duo from Yes To made just for this. Meet Yes to Cucumbers Color Protection Shampoo & Conditioner.

This effective duo is formulated with Sunflower, which nourish and strengthens hair follicles, and Aloe to moisturize the damage that's been done by coloring. Hair feels thick when using and looks more healthy and shiny. Most importantly, I've been using these for two weeks since coloring my hair and it looks just as good as it did when I walked out of the salon. It smells super fresh too.

Shop for the Yes To Cucumbers Color Protection Shampoo and Conditioner at yestocarrots.com as well as CVS, Walgreens, Target and Walmart.

M·A·C Azealia Banks Lipstick Yung Rapunxel.

M·A·C celebrated Fashion's Night Out with rapper Azealia Banks. In pure M·A·C fashion, they created a lipstick just for he, named Yung Rapunxel. If you look at Azealia's hair, you can understand where they came up with the name. Her hair is miles long and gorgeous!

This limited edition Yung Rapunxel lipstick is a beautiful deep plum cream. It looks super dark in the tube, but is actually very pretty on and perfect for fall. I especially like it with C-Thru Lipglass layered on top to soften it up and give it a bit of a pearly finish.

The lipstick is for sale right now at all M·A·C locations and online at maccosmetics.com for $15.00.
