Laura Geller Lipstick

My mom and I spent the day together on Saturday.  We were supposed to be checking some Christmas presents off the list, but we ended up shopping for each other more than anyone else. 

 

There was an Ulta Beauty at the mall we went to.  O M G.  What an amazing store. I wish there was one in the mall closer to my house.  Have you ever been?

 

What I love is the selection.  It's so much different than Sephora.  Ulta has beauty tools, products, everything from high end lines to drug store brands.  It's well lit and everyone there was super helpful.

 

So we ended up trying on some Laura Geller Color Enriched Lipsticks since I had never heard of them before.  My mom was in search of a moisturizing lipstick that doesn't crack and dry up after an hour.  The associate recommended this brand because it's made with Vitamins A, D and E and it's apparently Anti-aging -- it reduces the look of fine lines. 

 

 

I picked out the color Peach Tree because the associate helping me was wearing it, and I loved how it looked on her.  She had similar features and skin tone to me.

 

So naturally, I asked her to put the color on me and sure enough it was unlike anything I have ever worn.  It's not too peachy, not too pink.  It's really a lovely shade of pinkish nude that just somehow works nicely with my coloring.

 

She also recommended this lip pencil to use before applying the lipstick.  It's the same brand by Laura Geller and it's called "Pout Perfection" in color Buff.

 

 

Wa Lah!

 

The promotion going on today was if you spend $25 you get a free sparkly lip gloss too, so that is what I used on top to add a little bit more shine.

 

My mom loved this lipstick as well, so she ended up with Pink Mink.  It looks so great on her - it's more plum looking and goes nicely with her darker complexion.

 

 

But at the end of the day, who cares about the lipstick.  The best part of the day was just spending time with my mom.  She is so much fun and we always have many laughs.
