Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Bare Pink Review

February 12, 2014

I’ll be sharing my review on the Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Bare Pink. This is one of the lip glosses that came in the Sephora Gimme Some Lip Set. I’ve been using it in the past month or so.
Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Bare Pink
It has very simple packaging but it feels nice and heavy.  There is .1oz of product in here so it’s not bad for a deluxe sample! Using retail price this sample would be $19 and the whole set was only $30 so it’s definitely such a great deal when Sephora puts out those sample sets.
Swatch on hand- nude with a hint of pink
Swatch on my lips.
Pros
-Pigmented color. I like how it can actually give my lips a nude look
-Great texture. It’s not sticky at all which is a huge plus for some people!
-Moisturizing
Cons
-The smell. It’s suppose to be vanilla/creme brulee but it’s too sweet/strong for my liking! Kind of smells like a drugstore lipstick
-If you put too much on or want to layer on the color it sinks into the lines a bit. See my photo
Overall
-I don’t think I would repurchase the full size just because it’s so expensive. I feel like there are lower price alternatives that would do a good job. But I do enjoy the product and will happily finish up this sample size.
-The brand is known for their simple and sophisticated packaging but if I’m paying a high end price I like my packaging to be unique or really eye catching
Lip Gloss Ratings
Color: 10/10
Shine: 4/5
Scent/Taste: 1/5
Packaging: 4/5
Value: 4/5
Overall: 23/30 B

Where to find it?

The full size is .15 oz for $29 at Sephora. You can also buy it directly from Laura Mercier’s website for $25

What’s the most important thing for you when it comes to lipgloss? And are high end lipglosses worth it?

Hellllooo fall! 🍂🍁 In just a few weeks, the Hellllooo fall! 🍂🍁

In just a few weeks, the leaves are going to be golden red at Trout Lake!! 🤩😍. What are your favorite fall foliage spots in Vancouver?
Editing this post made MY MOUTH WATER!! 🤤🤤 Editing this post made MY MOUTH WATER!! 🤤🤤

Here are the best things I ate in Japan - restaraunt edition! (do you want to see one for snacks? or do you want to see a worst things I ate in Japan?)
Prices of the specific dish listed below.

1. Kanoko, try their special green tea infused soba or normal soba. I loved the dashi and tempura. Perfect lunch option for after visiting the tori gates. 1,300 Yen 🍜

2. Okonomiyaki Sakaba, you can pick the inside filling and a lot of the options were meat based. The sauce on top is delicious and you may be surprised the inside is mostly cabbage and not flour. 1,000 Yen🍥

3. Udon Bo Osaka, I tried out a cold dipping udon and it was excellent! They have a special yuzu sauce and the tempura is amazing too. 1,250 Yen 🍤

4. Roast Beef Ohno, the most affordable way to eat wagyu! Loved the sauces and nice side veggie dishes too. 1,750 Yen 🥓

5. Fuunji, flavorful dipping ramen with a vending machine to order! 1,400 (with egg + bamboo add on)🍱

6. Maguro Koya, holy crap I'm addicted to Ootoro now. So glad we splurged and got the double portion. We also tried the chutoro sashimi to compare cuts. 3,200 Yen 🍣

Hope this provides some delicious inspo for the best food in Japan!
Here's what I found from Ragtag in Japan!! 🤩🤩
I've definitely had my eye on a Dior piece and it's extra special that this design is a Japan exclusive.
I have to say, second hand designer shopping is a lot harder than I remembered! There are SO many stores now, I probably visited 20+ and the prices are not so cheap anymore 🤧🤧
.
A similar card holder from Dior is probably $600 CAD + tax. I got this one for ~$350 CAD. It's in excellent condition but there was no dust bag nor box.

📍 Ragtag, Shinseibashi, Osaka
We made it on the kyo-train garaku by Hankyu and I We made it on the kyo-train garaku by Hankyu and I'd highly recommend boarding this train if you're transiting between Osaka and Kyoto. ❤️‍🔥🌸
No reservations are required and the fare is just the basic fare (approximately $4!) 🚅
Check online for the most updated timetable but the most current is
9:32, 11:32, 13:32, and 15:32 leaving Osaka for Kyoto!
We showed up 30 minutes before boarding and was the first ones for car 5. Car 3 seems to be the most popular for the cherry blossoms!
