Laura Geller's Air Whipped LipWear Duo

This is the last product of my LG haul and it is an extremely creamy and rich lip product. This is applies like a gloss and looks like a lipstick! It has a soft velvety suede feel on the lips. It is silky and satiny, rich in color and smells so yummy!
These beauties retail for $26.00 Exclusively at QVC and QVC.com; this means that, unlike the eyeliner and shadow in my other reviews, these lip duos can only be purchased on QVC.
The packaging reminds me of bullets for some reason. It has a tipical wand applicator, but that is about the only tipical qualitiy of this product.
 The shades I have swatched are Mocha Mousse (left) and Pink mousse (right). They also come in Magenta Mousse (lively pink) and Innocent Mousse ( a subtle pink nuance). The Mocha Mousse is a rich nude pink, and the Pink Mousse is a bright pop of pink. These names are spot on when describing these lip glosses, they are creamy and have a mousse like texture; Laura explains it as dollop of whipped cream. They are alot like hybrids and are the best of both a lip gloss and lipstick. 
These are great for blurring fine lines and wrinkles on the lips because they don't feather at all. It isn't sticky like other glosses and one application lasts for at least a whole hour before it needs any kind of touch ups!
These are so rich that you are garunteed to only need one swipe.
The lip duos are made with Shea butter so it won't dry out your pucker. It is also formulated with Marine-derived Collagen filling spheres and a peptide complex to boost circulation in the lips and boost collagen, so it is slightly plumping. Another thing I love about these is that you can wear one color alone, or mix the two for a whole new color. They wear so nicely, and even after wearing off, they still look like a lipstain. These are sure to last, and deliver a full  and sexy bright pout!
Stay beautiful!

Laura Geller's Eye Rimz Baked Wet/Dry Eye Accents


The next item in my Laura Geller haul is one of her beautiful baked eyeshadows! This one is the shade Cobalt Blue; it comes in other shades such as Bewitching Bronze and Hocus Pocus (Rich emerald green).
The packaging for this shadow is just a bit bigger than a MAC shadow, it is 1.2 grams of product. I love that the lid comes with a mini half sized mirror!
These are available for $26.50 on sites like QVC, Laura Geller, and at Ulta Beauty.
This shadow is baked in Italy and has beautiful swirls of dark royal blue, shimmery pearl and silver, and irredescent smokey black. This shadow can be used in so many ways to create a wide variety of looks.
These can be used wet or dry, mixed, or seperate, and all over the lid or as an accent.
Wet: Mist your cleam palm with a little water or makeup setting spray. Now tap your brush into it. Dab the moist brush into the shadow to pickup the pigment. Pack the shadow onto your lid. The end result is pure metallic color.
Dry: Apply an eyeshadow base all over the lid. Tap your brush into the shadow anto pick up the pigment. Pack the shadow on your lid. the end result is rich and dramatically smokey color.
Applying this product wet or dry creates different looks, but the colors you use in this shadow can also have new effects on the look. Swirling the brush in all the colors creates a deep smokey eye. You can also tap your brush in one color at a time to build a full lid, crease, and browbone eye look.
I mentioned before that this can be used as an accent. Although I didn't take a picture of it, this shadow also comes with a small crease-like brush. It is perfecrtly sized to pick up the shadow and small enough to pinpoint where you want the shadow; like around the rim of your eye as a dry eyeliner accent.
This shadow is great for day to night looks. Apply it lightly using all the colors in the shadow for a blue and pearl eye with black accents for the day. Easily transfer into a night look by reapplying the shadow with a mix of all the colors!
Versatile and packed with rich pigment payoff, this is a great product!

**If you would like to see this on me, I am wearing it as an allover smokey lid color in the swatch found on this nail review:  http://vixenslovee.blogspot.com/2011/09/pure-ice-nail-polishes.html

Laura Geller's The Perfect Pairing Waterproof Liquid and Powder Eyeliner



Ok, to start these fun reviews I have here my absolute favorite of the products sent to me! It is a double ended waterproof eyeliner!
There are two reasons I fell in love with this product: It is like nothing I have ever used before and it is absolutely long wearing.
The shade I got was Brown, although it also comes is Black, Eggplant, and Navy; although, I believe, the Brown and Navy colors are only available on QVC. These are priced at $26.50 each.
Here is how it works:
First apply the liquid liner to the base of the lash line in smooth and quick strokes. This liquid liner dries fast and is smudgeproof. The color comes off  rich and shiny. Next apply the powder liner just above the liquid liner to set the product and brighten the color. The end result looks like an expertly smudged yet clean and crisp soft smokey line that instantly sophisticates any eye look.


 This makes it so easy to achieve a great lined eye look. Sometimes it is difficult finding a liner that isn't runny or if it has the right consistency, it doesn't always appear to be true to color. But this is the perfect formualtion. The liner is made with film-formers to help it dry and last all day. The powder liner is formulated with ultra fine milled natural minerals to make the eyes pop with color.
The liquid liner is small and precise, while the shadow liner has a unique wand that holds the powder and packs it over the lid. My only advice is to tap off any excess of the powder or it will end up under the eye in tons of beautiful glittery fallout! Oh no!
 This is just a wonderful pair and I highly recommend it. This is ophthalmologist tested and safe for those who wear contacts. I understand this may seem a little too pricey for just an eyeliner, no matter how wonderful it is, but it can always be requested as a special birthday or anniversary gift!

Laura Geller Haul!


I was lucky enough to be in contact with Morgan Henry of Laura Geller Cosmetics, and she was able to send me a few of their products for review!
I had previously posted this review back in early April or May but for some reason it kept getting flagged or removed? I hadn't even noticed until a reader asked for the review, "Will you still be reviewing the Laura Geller products you promised?".
I apoligize if it seemed that I was ignoring any requests or that I do not keep my word! That wasn't my attention everyone :)
So I will have to repost these reviews tomorrow or in the next few days. I think the problem was me trying to post from my cell phone app, I guess all my reviews from that app were not being posted?
But not to worry, they will be up soon and I will not be posting from the app anymore!

Anyway, Laura Geller used to be sold at Sephora for a while, but it can now be found at Ulta, on her own website, and even QVC!
Her line of beauty products include her famous Spackle, Baked Shadows, Blushes, and Bronzers, and some of the longest wearing lip and eye products I have yet to try!
Keep an eye out for these wonderful products!
Thank you once again to Morgan Henry, and all the team at Laura Geller Cosmetics!
