Co-Ordinates | Style Wars

Hey

So over the summer the co-ordinates (also known as a 2 piece) have been really popular this summer. Especially in London where I live, I've seen so many styles and have defiantly been a fan of the floral prints (as I own about 6 lol).

So here's a few celebrity styles which I loved.

Pixie Lott  / Lydia-Rose Bright  / Adriene Bailon  /  Kerrueche Tran    

Who do you think rocked it better?

Pixie Lotte - Looking elegant In her gorgeous White lace 2 piece

Lydia-Rose Bright - Casual day out in her yellow Summer Florals 

Adrienne Bailon - Making a statement 'in my personal favourite' Pretty in Pink 2 piece

Kerrueche Tran - All in White net, ready for date night.

My Summer Favourite : Hottie NOTD

Hey!!!

Summer has officially gone, and Autumn has arrived :(. During the summer, my summer favourite we'll for the past 2 months, I would have to say that this nail varnish by 'L.A. Color' has been my go to summer Shade.

L.A.Colors: Hottie (CNP534)

It is a very fun and playful peachy colour, that has worked well for the summer. I just love how it looks orange in some lights and pink in others.

It complimented most of my summer looks and looked great against a white dress, 'color craze' is slowly becoming my favourite nail brand, they have such a great range of colours, that are long lasting and only cost 99p :)

What was your summer favourite nail colour?

Laura Mercier - Foundation and Loose Powder | Review ★★★☆☆

Hey Dolls

So the foundation I usually use throughout the year is usually a shade darker then I am, I've always done this as my neck is slightly darker and I like the tanned look, I think it gives of a healthy glow. This is also usually an advantage, as my foundation then usually fits me perfect when summer does come around. But this summer however I actually got a lot darker so my  concept didn't work this year :(. However it's not all bad news as it gave me a chance to try out this foundation and loose powder by Laura Mercer. I've been using it since the beginning of August now so I think I can give a decent review so here goes. 

Laura Mercier
 Moisture Surpreme Fondation - Rich Sienna
Invisible Loose Setting Powder - Universal 

Swatches Of the Products
P.S The Powder can actually be blended in a lot more
but I wanted to show it fresh on 

Review
Ok so first of all the overall packaging, It's not very eye catching, it's very simple. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I think the silver sleek look does add a bit of class and sophistication to the product.

Powder 
Invisible Loose Setting Powder |Colour: Universal|11.34g |John Lewis Price: £29 |link to Product

Pros
1. Its Light Weight, and easy to use
2. It actually is invisible, When applied it gives of a flawless look and matts down the shiny look the foundation gives off.
3. Last all day, No need to re apply
4. A little goes a long way
5. Small & Compact design

Cons
1. If you do accidentally put to much on it can look ghostly which can then take a while to blend in.
2. It Is a bit costly at £29, But you pay for quality

Foundation 

Moisture Supreme Fondation |Colour: Rich Sienna |30ml  |JohnLewis Price: £34 |Link to product

Pros

1. Easy to use pump bottle

2. Great Colour Match 

3. Easy and smooth application with decent coverage

Cons

1. Very Oily, gives off a shiny look if worn without the powder 

2. Stings your eyes if you accidentally get some in. 

3. Quite expensive at £34
4. Strong smell, but that goes once applied to face

Verdict
Overall, I must say that the finishing products together work very well, they defiantly do complement one another.

But separately I am not a fan of the foundation at all, so defiantly won't be purchasing again in a hurry. I do however love the powder, I have tried it with my MaryKay and Mac Foundation and it works wonders so the powder is a WIN!!!!.

Powder: ★★★★☆       Foundation: ★★☆☆☆

Has anyone else used these products or any other by Laura Mercier?
