OUR BEAUTY PICK-ME-UPS
“As someone who enjoys a golden glow all year around, when it comes to my make up routine, I tend to favour a bronzer or highlighter over a blush. That was until I found Laura Mercier’s Highlighting Blush. Boasting the best of both worlds, it offers the flush of a blush with the natural dewiness of an iridescent illuminator. Plus, the powder formula is enriched with light reflecting pearls, making it neither too dry or oily for my combination skin.” Trifonia, Senior SEO Copywriter: Combination Skin
