PSA: Laura Mercier Fans

UmmLila (Lisa)

Their website is now offering 20% off everything <http://www.lauramercier.com>

I wonder if they are re-packaging or something, after having been bought out by Shiseido. <http://www.racked.com/2016/6/2.....ier-revive>

Thanks so much for the tip, UmmLila. And I hadn't heard about the Shiseido news yet!

Thanks for the heads up. My daughter and I will both have a crisis if they discontinue our favorite tinted moisturizers!

No!!! Didn't know that. Wow, I hope they don't change. I need a few things so I will look into this. Too bad I just bought the Matte Radiance (I think it's called) highlighting powder. It will last for years, so no need for a backup.

That stuff is genius btw! If you don't have it, use the sale to get it. Softest, most subtle highlight ever, just a glow that looks like you, not makeup!

Thank you!!!! I just got the tightlining gear that I've been hesitant to pull the trigger on.

I love so many of their products -- the tinted moisturizer, the radiance moisturizer, the radiance primer, eye liners, lip glosses, etc. The only product I have not liked is a mascara that always drops bits and pieces when it's applied. I will check out the Matte Radiance powder, too.

Lila, I checked...it's called Matte Radiance Baked Powder, in Highlighter-01 (because darker shades are intended as bronzers). Seriously good stuff!

Oh man, I just bought a new tinted moisturizer bottle last week. Sigh.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Oh, I was thinking of trying out the tinted moisturizer, so this is great! How do I figure out though what color is best for me...they have so many and I'm not sure I can get to a store to try them out, unless they carry them at Sephora.

They have at some Sephoras, and at Neiman Marcus at Copley Place.

I'm a big fan of the eyeshadow palettes. Good pigment and coverage. Love the Radiance primer too....

The fragrances and bath and body products are also out of this world - and I miss having them available at retail. Holts used to carry them here..

Has anyone tried their primer? I'm almost out of Dr Brandt "Pores No More" (which I don't think is a great name for it -- it mainly gives a nice semi-matte base before tinted moisturizer that helps the TM last, and it helps keep shine down for those of us who have a little excess of that). I was considering trying the LM primer if anyone recommends it.

ETA: Aaaaand I just saw the post directly above from Lisa about the Radiance Primer. I'll give it a try!

Janet - this Radiance Primer is really like a bronzer . It doesn't have that weird silicone base that so many of them have . I just mix it in with the tinted moisturizer or my foundation - and it bumps up the colour a bit for a tanned look.

I've used the LM ordinary primer, the radiance primer and the radiance bronze. I like the radiance the best because it gives that slight lit from within glow. The radiance bronze I use a bit in the summer under sand tinted moisturizer. Most of the year I am too pale to have that much color on my face.

Hmm, I'm a little worried about any tan or bronze effect -- my skin is paler than people realize (makeup SA's always try to put a darker shade on me and quickly realize that won't work). I'll have to check them out in store. Thank you!

I use the LM primer under their tinted moisturizer and like it. But I've never tried any other primer before so I have no comparison. I'm very fair and have tried a sample of the Radiance Primer and really like it. I think Lisa must have the Radiance Bronze primer because the one I tried is not dark at all. I think I'm going to pick up the Radiance Primer on sale.

Also, Nordstrom is price matching.

I went to Lord and Taylor's today and tried out the tinted moisturizer. Interestingly, Ummlila, the one she matched me with was also sand (the tan was too dark on my cheeks). Do you use the oil version or the oil-free?

I also bought the radiance primer and the face polish as well as the tinted moisturizer, but from Nordstrom's online, as Lord & Taylor's wasn't willing to do the price match. I felt bad since I used the makeup associate's time, but I would have bought from them had they offered the discount.

I use the oil version. Most of the year I use nude, sand is for summer if I get some outside time. I have also been using the illuminating tinted moisturizer in natural radiance but i've been thinking it looks too glowy in the summer.

FWIW, the sale appears to be over, and Nordstrom's pricing is back to normal. Darn it. I hadn't gotten there yet and was thinking of going today or tomorrow.
