Beautycon LA 2019 – Day 1 & What I Wore

By Posted on 0 Comments 2 min read 2318 views

Beautycon LA 2019 Day 1 is officially over. I was a bit overwhelmed by the crazy vibes of excited attendees and the tons of familiar faces of “beauty queens” everywhere. Every year, I look forward to attending Beautycon LA since it’s such a tight community of positive creators.

One of my favorite booths on the main floor was Milani’s

I was very surprised to see many new brands on the main floor. It felt very different compared to last year.

The Talent Lounge – Lots of Makeup!

There are a number of reasons why the Talent Lounge for Beautycon LA 2019 is a privilege to have access to. Firstly, the talent lounge is where I have met the coolest people. As I mentioned earlier, you get to meet all kinds of individuals from entrepreneurs, YouTubers, fashion bloggers, and creatives for beauty within different categories. Second, you get to meet representatives of brands directly from Ulta Beauty, Milani, Rimmel London, and so much more. Lastly, you get to discover new products from makeup to hair care, thanks to the brands who participate in sponsoring the Talent Lounge. I saw some Talent Lounge attendees drag out their giant tote bags full of product! Crazy.

WIW – What I Wore

Today, I surprisingly received many compliments on my outfit while attending the con. I actually wore this outfit before Beautycon LA 2019 to an OOTD fashion shoot in Laguna Beach;

I loved it so much that I decided to wear it again today. The outfit was slightly styled differently by leaving the lace dress down and adding a belt to it. The lace dress with white florals is called the Fontaine Lace Set by Eggie. This includes the white bralette, a white belt, and white shorts (I wore pants instead). The pants are from here, and the accessories are from Target.

This Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Review goes over product benefits, some differences between the original and new forumla, and the Pros & Cons.

First of all, I am excited to share my Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Review (get it here)! I recently went to an event at the pop-up café by Laura Mercier called “Café Mercier” located in Venice Beach. It was such an ideal café for me since it felt like a trendy LA café that had a charming French touch.

The Laura Mercier pop-up event was for the launch of the new and improved tinted moisturizer. In contrast to the older tinted moisturizer, the new packaging has a nice sleek feel to it and shows the shade of the product.

           Before I get started on my Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Review, I must say I love the weightlessness. I felt comfortable with this product on all day. The product is infused with Tamarind Seed Extract to maintain moisture and prolongs hydration. The tinted moisturizer also contains Macadamia and Kukui seed oils to promote healthy skin by helping you skin’s fuctionality.

PROS & CONS

This Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Review goes over product benefits, some differences between the original and new forumla, and the Pros & Cons.

Next, is the pros and cons for the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Review.

PROS:

  • SPF 30 UVB/UVA
  • Because it contains Antioxidant Vitamins C & E, it has added benefits
  • Hydrating / Moisturizing
  • Dewy & Natural Finish
  • As a result of the added nut oils, it has a luminous glow
  • Due to smooth application, it has a natural finish
  • Non-greasy
  • Because of the creamy texture, it blurs imperfections
  • Weightless

CONS:

  • As a result of very light coverage – not recommended if you have hyper pigmentation or acne
  • Certainly not for individuals who have nut allergies – contains nut oil
  • Because the shades are different from the previous formula, you cannot order the same shade as before.
  • Due to its light coverage, it is not buildable
  • Seems like it can get “tacky” if you have oily skin; too hydrating for oily skin

First, for application, you can use a beauty sponge, but I prefer to use my fingers. Second, after applying about a “bean size” amount, I’ll pat my face with a beauty sponge to perfect the finish. Then, cover any pigmentation from previous acne with concealer. Finally, to set the tinted moisturizer, I used the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder using a powder brush
