Rouge Bunny Rouge Blush, Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks and a YSL Lipstick

Rouge Bunny Rouge Delicata blush functions as a subtle contour shade for pale skin, whilst the Gracilis adds a bit of a natural pink presence. The packaging of these blushes might not be A+ (in my book), but the textures are very smooth and blend into the skin seamlessly. You can't even tell that you're wearing a powder.

The Laura Mercier Caviar sticks are just brilliant (I'm British now, btw). But seriously, I've never been a big LM'er, but between the Rose Rendezvous Illuminator and these bad boys, she's almost got me converted. Amethyst, in particular, is a must-have for pretty much everyone. It's a confusing mixture of brown/purple/taupe, with gorgeous micro-glitter flecks (that do *not* fall down). The video doesn't even do Amethyst justice.

Lastly, the Rouge Volupte Perle 115 Shimmering Coral is nothing short of glorious. The last couple releases of the RVPs have been consistently impressive, with a much easier feel and formulation to that of the OG Rouge Voluptes. They're not as crazy pigmented, and as such, wear more as a standard lipstick. 116 Milky Pink is also beautiful, but I think Shimmering Coral is the more dazzling of the two.

    1. Thanks, hon! Lol, I'm slowly trying to not be such a slacker. It's just weird being between YT and blogs. You're bound to piss somebody off, somewhere. Well, I mostly piss myself of...ha.

  4. Wow, loved the video! I've never been a LM fan either but may need to try these out. And I have to have the lipstick. I wonder if its the same color though as 'Coral Sun' from the old versions. I'll have to check them out! BTW you're sooo pretty!

    1. Yes yes, I think they're definitely worth the check out. I think Amethyst is the standout in the line. Smoke is actually pretty damn handy, as well. It's nice to have something that's black yet blendable. Thank you so much for the kind words! :) <3 xxx
