 La Mer Soleil De La Mer 2018

The packaging is very summer appropriate the pearly white, and the reflective rose gold compact is simply stunning. It's got a luxurious feel to it, and it's also very lightweight and travel-friendly. 

Surprisingly the Lip & Cheeks Glows was a huge hit it sold out quickly, and it was tough to find both online and in store. There are two shades available 01 Coral Glow and 02 Pink Sands. The blend of glowing pigments suspended in nourishing oil gives skin a quick hint of healthy color. Infused with nourishing Miracle Broth, it adds a sheer, buildable flush of color to lips and cheeks as it visibly refreshes and renews delicate skin. I was very excited to try this, but once I got to play with Coral Glow, I wasn't sure if I really liked it as much as the bronzer. First of all, it looks horrible on my lips it's shows up as a very pale shade of peach. I do like the glossy, creamy texture but I wouldn't want to use it on my lips. It looks gorgeous when swatched on my arms I wish it looked like that on my lips. With that being said, I do like to layer it very lightly on top of cream/stick blushes it adds a healthy glow to my dry cheeks which I can appreciate. If you have oily skin, I'm not sure if that method would work for you. Coral Glow has a refreshing minty scent, and upon licking my lips, I discovered it has a sweet taste which is always very pleasant. 

The Lip and Cheek Glows are very sheer so it won't make a great blush it's just a glossy, hydrating balm for the lips and cheeks. I did do a heavy-handed swatch so you can get an idea of the shade. I just can't justify the lip and cheek glows for the price there are much better options out there.

La Mer Soleil De La Mer 2018

La Mer Soleil De La Mer 2018

I wanted to compare the La Mer bronzing power to a few of my favorite bronzers. As you can see, for the most part, all the bronzers have that hint of glow and shimmer. That's what I prefer when it comes to bronzer. I'm not a big fan of contouring my face unless it's a traditional party or occasion then I will go to town with my makeup haha! But for every day looks I like a light bronzer that will warm up my complexion and give me a healthy sun-kissed glow.
