Another thing they have on clearance is a shampoo that I'm quite fond of, Topix Hair Repair. It's on sale right now for $7.58, and I quite liked it. I just finished up my bottle a few days ago, and saw it as one of the sale items when I went to go buy some more. Score! It made my hair shiny and gave it a lot of body- seems to really get rid of any gunk like hairspray quickly and easily without drying out my hair or scalp. I noticed that after trimming my hair then using this shampoo, I didn't get split ends as readily as I normally do. Not the fanciest packaging in the world, but it makes it super easy to recycle the bottle when it's empty and I'd rather get quality product that works than something that's overpriced because it looks good sitting on the side of the tub. No heavy scent to get in the way of your other products. FYI- vegetarians avoid, it does contain animal protein.

Topix Hair Repair Shampoo Dont stress about your damaged tresses. Treat them with Topix Hair Repair Shampoo. The rich, lathering formula provides satisfying suds that work to rid hair of dulling residue and debris, while treating overcolored, heatdamaged, productmaimed and lackluster locks....

Laura Mercier Flawless Face

Man oh man- I wish I could tell you that Sephora still had the Mini Flawless Face kit available for their 500 point perk, but it was so wildly popular that it was off their site in a matter of days. It did give me a chance to try some Laura products that I hadn't tried before, and what can I say? I was BLOWN AWAY. Seriously   worth buying the full size. Not a dud in the bunch! 

Mini Full Blown Volume Lash Building Mascara in Black
Mini size: 0.2oz
(Full Size: 0.4oz $24)
Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Lash Building Mascara Black
This made my lashes look awesome with just one coat! The brush is the perfect size and gets even the tiniest corner lashes. one of the best mascaras I've used in a long time. 

Mini Eye Basics in Wheat
Mini size 0.1oz
(Full Size: 0.25oz $24)
Laura Mercier Eye Basics Wheat
An excellent lid primer. I put this on in the morning, and come 12 hours later, I had barely a crease in my shadow. The color was still perfectly in place, I could have smudged the crease a tad and rocked it the rest of the night! I like that it's tinted so it conceals this weird red mole I have on my eyelid. Also works as an undereye concealer! All about the multitasking! It did crack me up to read negative reviews on Sephora from people who thought it was an eyeshadow. "This is pointless! It's the same color as my eyelid!" Duh, it's a shadow primer, you tool. 

Mini Face Polish
Mini Size: 0.4oz
(Full Size: 3.4oz $30)
Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Face Polish 3.4 oz
An absolutely astounding product. Technically an exfoliator, but it's so creamy and gentle! Afterwards my skin glowed and my pores were diminished. My face products soaked in like butter after using this. Not only were my pores all good and cleaned out, but my skin looked fabulous for days afterwards. Ooooooooh, now I'm absolutely CRAVING to run home and use this again!

Mini Tinted Moistureizer SPF 20 in Nude

Mini size: 0.5oz

(Full size: 1.5oz $42)

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 - Oil Free Nude

Just enough tint to be able to forgo foundation giving you a "yes my skin IS this perfect" look. I've found that a lot of tinted moisturizers look streaky on me if I'm not careful, but this one blends in perfectly. I LOVE that it's got an SPF, so I'm moisturized, protected and perfected with one product!

Mini Foundation Primer 
Mini size: 0.5oz
(Full Size: 1.7 oz $30, 3.4oz $40)
Laura Mercier Foundation Primer 1.75 oz
Most primers are silicone based, but Laura's is a water base filled with vitamins A, E, and C to add extra antioxidant protection. Not only does it keep your makeup put all day, but it protects your skin and keeps you from getting super shiny. 

Here's a review of it that I wrote almost 2 years ago
Laura Mercier Foundation Primer 
is oil free, so it works for both dry skin and oily skin. If you have oily skin, the primer will keep your face grease from mixing with your foundation and changing it's color or making it slide off. If you have dry skin it will keep the powder ingredients in your makeup from sinking into pores or fine lines and holds in your skin's moisture. This formula lokos like a cream, but seems to transform into a gel as you smooth it on. I find this one to be most effective if you ignore the "apply liberally" directive and use a light touch- just enough to cover the skin but not so much that it doesn't 'settle in'.
How is Laura's Foundation Primer more than just a primer? 
Laura's primer contains "unique light-reflecting ingredients" which create a "soft-focus appearance." This soft focus causes fine lines and imperfections to smooth over as well as gives skin a soft, luminous, and healthy looking glow. Not just for under foundation, in fact Laura considers Foundation Primer a must for non-foundation wearers. The same soft focus appearance makes bare skin look beautiful and naturally flawless. Top with a little Loose Setting Powder and you have a smooth and luminous, beautiful and natural, barefaced look. 

This Primer also has added skin care benefits to improve the skin's appearance. Potent antioxidants Vitamins A, C, and E help protect skin from the harmful and dramatically aging effects of the environment. Foundation Primer also contains botanicals such as lavender, orange, jasmine, rose, geranium, grape, kiwi and aloe extracts to soothe and refresh the skin.
I learned a cool tip too- store your primer in the fridge and it will work even better to tighten pores, refresh your skin, reduce redness and puffiness, and in the summer will feel faboo! I will say that the one thing I do not like about this primer is the scent. Luckily it dissipates rapidly so it's really a moot point.

I also happened to be wearing Laura's Lip Glace in Opal, of which I previously said 

"Laura Mercier Opal Lip Glace is a glossy but not overly shiny neutral that looks particularly sophisticated when paired with a touch of a nude liner for added definition. Not one bit sticky, and made with deeply nourishing ingredients, it almost feels like a balm instead of a gloss. Tiny bits of glistening sparkle add the illusion of plumpness (that really seems to be the big thing lately, wouldn't cha say?)"

I used all these products in conjunction in the AM and then filmed a review video in the evening to show how everything lasts all day. Unfortunately, I also took a muscle relaxer since my back hurt when I got home so I'm a bit loopy!
