Current Obsession: Fingerless Gloves

I bought these gloves about 2 weeks ago at a local store on sale for about $8. I needed some, as it is still cold where I live, and they were inexpensive. I am that kind of person who always has freezing cold hands no matter what, so this little guys are my lifesaver for the wintertime:)
I am obsessed with them, so comfy and warm and just a nice accessory to the whole outfit. I got those along with 2 other pair which I love as well. I prefer them to regular gloves for driving, running, anything where you want some dexterity and palm warmth.
These gloves do the job!

Dupe for Mac Stereo Rose? Maybe!

Lately I got a chance to swap for Mac Stereo Rose, still can´t believe it!

There has been a lot of hype for the Stereo Rose and I absolutely understand why.

It´s the right mix of pink and coral with the perfect amount of highlighter to create that perfect glow on your cheeks. No chunky glitter here, which I love!

I also had a chance to swap for Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit, another beautiful color and shockingly very similar to Mac Stereo Rose!

Not really the same in the pot, but the swatches on my hand do look very similar.

with flash L-R: Mac Stereo Rose - Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit

without flash L-R: Mac Stereo Rose - Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit

Pink Grapefruit has just a hint more of pink than Stereo Rose, but overall it´s very similar and has the same glow!

In my opinion if you can´t get your hands on the Stereo Rose just go with the Pink Grapefruit and definitely don´t spend $60 on ebay, that´s just insane!!!

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free

I have been using these products for 2 weeks now before I decided to write a proper review.
I don't like wearing heavy full coverage foundation every day. That´s more for going out purposes for me or when my hormones break me out once a month, that´s when I tend to grab more for my MUFE HD foundation.
I have combination skin, which means in my case, really dry in the winter time and normal with oily T-zone in the summer.
Right now my skin is so dry that I even prefer to use this tinted moisturizer with my regular moisturizer to keep my skin in balance. But it also works fine on it´s own when my skin isn´t so dry. The look is dewy and natural. Never cakey!
I was really surprised how easy it goes on and blends in with my skin and even more surprised how well it covers imperfections and evens out my pores, I could not ask for more!!!


Since I could not decide which shade will suit me best, I got nude and bisque. I am actually happy that I got both! For me, nude is more the perfect shade for the winter time or when I don´t tan, where bisque will be gorgeous for the summer when I get more tanned or use self tanner. Beside that, I don´t even see a huge difference between nude and bisque to be honest anyways:)
I just look more sun kissed when applied bisque, which I really love!
I also got the primer which is fantastic, especially for dry skin. When using the tinted moisturizer with this primer I can easily skip my regular moisturizer.
Usually I tend to wear the tinted moisturizer with the primer whenever I am outside and just with my regular moisturizer if I stay home or I am not exposed to the sun.
(please keep in mind that my hands are always lighter than the rest of my body, can´t even tell you how often I wash them with a toddler around:)


Here are both shades: L-R nude and bisque

and here they are blended: L-R nude and bisque

I am very pleased with this product and will definitely purchase again. If you have normal-dry skin I'd mix it with a little of your moisturizer or even try on it´s own.
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by this product!
