Alright friends, today I finally cracked open that Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer tube that’s been collecting dust on my shelf. Saw morning sunlight hitting my bathroom mirror just right and thought screw it, let’s give this hype product a real go.
The Wake-Up Struggle
First off, I shoved my face under the tap – ice cold water splashing everywhere – ’cause my eyes wouldn’t properly open yet. Grabbed that basic drugstore cleanser and scrubbed hard. Pat-dried with a towel that’s seen better days, whatever works.
Moisturizer Madness
Now here’s where I almost messed up. Squeezed a fat pea-sized blob onto my finger, rubbed it between my hands like I was warming up cheap pizza, and slapped it all over my cheeks and forehead. Realized halfway my nose was missing. Had to scoop leftovers from my chin to cover it. Pro tip: start with less than you think you need.
The Mirror Test
Stared real close in the mirror and poked at a dry patch near my eyebrow. Added extra moisturizer dots there and mashed them in with my pinky. Saw some redness peeking through after three minutes, so dabbed a tiny second layer only on those spots.
Finish & Final Thoughts
- Took it outside later – looked totally fine under sunlight.
- Didn’t melt off when I jogged for the bus.
- Forgot it was there by lunchtime.
Kinda digging how it’s not perfect-perfect? Like my skin but healthier. Def grabbing this tube tomorrow again instead of regular foundation. Got lazy? This hides it. Woke up fabulous? Enhances it. Zero brainpower required.
