Wish for Nars.. . .

Nars 

I just wish that Sephora in Singapore would consider bringing in this brand from NARS.. I know there is a lot of u out there who has been waiting for this brand to come to Singapore.Unfortunately u cant find NARS on the shelves of Sephora. I know of some online seller who is doing sprees for NARS.. and its not cheap. So many actually sought consultation through Sephora in Facebook to plead for these brand.

What I dont understand is why Sephora would not want to bring NARS in when there is so many people out there enquiring for this brand??

Can someone enlighten me about it?

Laura Mercier

I came across this brand while shopping in Parksons, Pavilion @ Bukit Bintang, KL. I was screaming with joy when I saw the brand name near to the entrance. I have always heard this name whenever I watched Kandee Johnson doing her v-log about her makeup. Kandee loves this brands a lot.. and I thought, "If this brand has been "endorsed" by a Hollywood make up artist, I am pretty sure these stuffs works.." So giving myself a chance, I bought several items off the shelves from Laura Mercier. Bought the tinted moisturizer, foundation primer, lip colour, lip gloss and loose powder. Dont ask me how much I paid for, cause these are items are not widely sold in Singapore.. (I am still wondering about that!)

I found one place in Ngee Ann City that sells Laura Mercier, but..trust me dont waste your time there cause they dont really bring it a lot of Laura Mercier stuffs. I cant recall the name of the shop that sells it.. but its locates at Basement One near the escalator near Zara. Thats the only store in Singapore that u can find Laura Mercier.. then again, dont need to waste your time there.. Firstly, not many stocks .. its very very very limited!! Second, the price just does not justify the stocks in that store. They priced it so much that it makes you feel not worth making a trip down there and worst, buying it..

My verdict on Laura Mercier :

Laura Mercier foundation primer + tinted moisturizer is by far the best BUY.. not in terms of $$$ but quality, the primer helps hold the foundation longer and at the same time, gives u that natural and flawless look.. Good for all skin types.. I have combination skin (more to dry skin) and this primer + tinted moisturuzers really gives me that flawless look throughout the whole day.. hardly any touch ups!! Isnt that great?

Their lip gloss and lipstick is next. The lip colour is very moisturising.. say Bye to chapped lips!! I also bought their lip plumper in Berry Bronze.. I am someone who doesnt really like lip gloss or lip shine.. until I met this gorgeous lip plumper in Berry Bronze..

Laura Mercier also has a panel of their own make up artist.. which u can go to their website (I have placed a link) and look through their MUA.. very professional MUA!! I like Michel Coulombe & Tayaba Jafri..

All in all, Laura Mercier is 4 out of 5 stars in my beauty closet. A definite buy for me (when I am in KL)

Sephora

Sephora is a leading beauty retailer offering the best cosmetics, skin care, make up, fragrance & perfume, hair, beauty products and make up tips.

Sephora is a chain of cosmetics stores founded in France in 1993 and acquired by Paris-based conglomerate LVMH (Louis Vuitton and Moet Hennessy) in 1997. The Sephora chain includes more than 750 stores in 17 countries. Carrying over 250 brands, including Sephora's own private label, the store offers cosmetic and beauty items that include makeup, skin care, fragrance, bath and body, hair product, and hair and make-up tools

Sephora opened its door in Singapore few years back and I could still remember the day I walked in to Sephora Ngee Ann City.. I was amazed at all the products they bring in to Singapore.. the first one I lay my eyes on was Urban Decay & Smashbox!!

Now Sephora has branch out to several outlets, mainly Sephora Ion Orchard, Sephora Ngee Ann City, & Sephora Marina Bay Sands.. They also have another one in Great World but seriously I dont really like going to the one located at Great World City.

Firstly the store is not as huge as the rest of the outlet which means, their product range is lesser.. and u could find some things are not available as compared to other outlets due to space constraint.

Secondly, the staffs there are not as helpful as the rest of the outlets.. I frequent Sephora like twice a week and I cant help noticing and recognised those helpful and service-oriented staffs and those that are not. With many online sprees and other major departmental stores selling cosmetics with beauty advisor, it helps if the management of Sephora highlight the importance of service to its staffs especially for the ones located at Great World.. The nicest and the most pleasant experience I had in Sephora was the one located in Marina Bay Sands.. they were helpful and more informative on the products, despite having to know all the products, they are able to explain briefly on each product.

All in all, putting aside the lack of service cultured in Sephora Great World, I love Sephora for the products they brought in.. They are quality products which u paid a price for..
