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.

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

What I’m Wearing from Laura Mercier

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

Product List:

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer in “Almond” in 4C1
Translucent Loose Setting Powder – Glow
Flawless Fusion Concealer – Full Coverage in 3W
Matte Bronzing Powder Soleil Bronzer 2
Laura Mercier Blush Colour Infusion in “Sangria”

In conclusion, I highly recommend this new product! Finally, thank you for reading my Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Review! What are your thoughts about the new formula? Let me know below!

All-White Outfit of the Day

all white outfit forever 21 white lace top yuki bomb

Let’s be honest, everyone. All-white outfits are hard to pull off. And what’s worse is that fear of soiling your clean and fresh look and having to walk around in embarrassment. I’ve had quite a few mishaps while wearing all-white. Like the time I was in high school, I was naively bold enough to wear an all-white outfit to school and what do you know, a fellow classmate spilled chocolate milk all over my pants during lunch. Or that time when I wore a white tee to grab boba with friends. I stabbed my boba straw too hard into my Thai tea and got orange splatter marks all over my chest.

How to Keep Your All-White Outfit Fresh All Day

The following tips are followed by me when wearing an all-white outfit or when I have a photo shoot:

Eat leaning forward – Yes, it looks ridiculous but it helps! This includes having beverages as well.
If you’re stabbing a straw into boba, cover it with a napkin or hands.
Avoid carelessly sitting down anywhere. You’d be surprised by how many dirty white butts I’ve seen. Lol.
Carry a Tide Pen
If you have a mishap, soak with water or sparkling water and pat dry as soon as possible.

All-White Outfit Details

I absolutely love wearing white on white since it’s another way to make you “glow“. My entire outfit is by Forever 21. The white lace top (sold out but similar one here) was tricky since I thought a solid white or nude bra would look funny under this elegant top. I paired it with a white lace bralette and wore nipple covers under just in case! The pants were comfortable and made me feel chic. I finished this white on white look with white boots and a sun hat.

Black Turtleneck – Pigalle Basketball Court

Black Turtleneck - Black on Black Outfit - YukiBomb – Pigalle Basketball Court

Black Turtleneck – Pigalle Basketball Court

A black turtleneck is my must-have for the fall and winter season. The same team from my last shoot (read it here) took these photos at the Pigalle Basketball Court in Paris, France. This photo shoot was shot in less than 10 minutes due to the interruption of restrictions with filming and photography. Luckily, we were able to work quickly in the crowded and beautiful Pigalle Basketball Court.

Choihyuksoo’s (the photographer) favorite shoot with me was this black turtleneck outfit at the Pigalle Basketball Court.

Shooting at Pigalle Basketball Court

Since most of Paris, France has an old traditional charm, seeing the modern and vibrant Pigalle Basketball Court was strangely refreshing (not that I got tired of the beautiful old Parisian architecture). This colorful environment was a perfect contrast to the black on black outfit. I loved the bold colors of blue, white, pink, red, yellow, orange, and purple throughout the whole court. The court’s floor had caught my attention as I walked upon it because of its rubber surface. It’s gradient colors matched well with the brilliant walls.

This new Paris landmark is popular not only because of its uniqueness but because of it’s “out of place” vibe. It almost felt like entering the World of Oz when comparing to the rest of Paris.

What I Wore

The black turtleneck I am wearing is an old one that I picked up at a boutique but you can find a ton of similar ones almost anywhere. As for the pants, I ordered them from Revolve years ago. The sunglasses are one of my favorites because it reminds me of John Lennon. Lastly, the white sneakers are by Adidas.

This black turtleneck outfit was honestly not planned. They were meant to be worn after the team and I were done shooting but Choihyuksoo thought it would be best to wear it at the basketball court. He was right.

Blush Pink Dress Romance in Paris

Blush Pink Dress in Paris, France

I usually don’t like pink dresses, but this dress immediately caught my attention when I first saw it on ShopBlueDistrict.com. What caught my attention was the details and cut. This maxi pink lace dress has multiple lace layers with refined crochet features on the shoulders and waist. The back of the dress is entirely transparent with small floral details that flow across the back. Lastly, the inner layer embraces a solid mini skirt with a long outer layer of lace, faintly revealing the delicate legs.

I love this pink lace dress so much because of its charming composition, subtly sensual cuts, and elegant hue. You can wear it formally or as an evening dress. If you’re looking for dresses for weddings, this can also be worn. It’s such a great dress to have in the closet.

The Struggles of Shooting in Paris

I wore this romantic blush pink dress during my visit to the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris, aka Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, a Roman Catholic church. The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris was built in 1888. Unfortunately, the team and I couldn’t shoot in front of the beautiful landmark since it was too crowded. We walked around the famous Roman Catholic Church and found beautifully hidden alleyways with charming doors and greenery. I felt like I was on set for an old classic movie.

As you look through all of the photos I took wearing the pink lace dress, you can see that in some photos I am wearing black boots and in others, I am wearing white mules (lol). I started taking photos in the black heels but unfortunately, the stiletto was too small for the uneven bricked walkways of Paris (you can read about my first perspective here). I almost fell over while walking! It was so bad that I had to hold one of the photographer’s arm. Finally, I decided to switch out my heels for flat white mules. Luckily both shoe styles matched with the pink lace dress. The extraordinary feeling of relief from the constriction of heels literally made me skip down the alleyway. The team laughed either because I was relieved or because they didn’t have to watch me struggle through the walkway.
