Merle Norman Summer 2016

The Merle Norman color collections always introduce me to new products and formulations I end up falling in love with.  In their summer collection they included a liquid illuminator and lipstick that have become some of my favorite products I've tried.  Every season there's something new to look forward to!  Let's take a look.



Creamy Lipcolor in Cardinal & Sweet Liberty  |  I love the formulation of these lipsticks!  They are smooth, pigmented and feel incredible on the lips.  Cardinal is a rich red and Sweet Liberty is an everyday pink that looks gorgeous with so many looks.


I love pairing Sweet Liberty with soft neutrals as well as a smokey eye as we head into fall.  It's my favorite of the two that I wear the most often.  Cardinal is gorgeous as well and would suit a variety of looks in different seasons.  It would make a great red lip for the holidays as well.  There's something for everyone in the collection and these are just two of over 20 shades!


Wicked Lash Mascara & Lip Polish  |  For that unique touch, add a swipe of vibrant mascara in Sapphire blue and iridescent lip polish in All Star.  You might not be reaching for these everyday but they certainly add a unique touch.  I love wearing the Sapphire mascara particularly on my lower lashline and the All Star lip polish can be worn on its own or on top of lipstick for a luminous finish.


Liquid Shimmer in Guiding Light  |  This multi-tasker can be worn on its own as a highlighter or mixed with your favorite foundation for an all-over glow.  I just dispense a small amount on the back of my hand and apply with a small duo fiber brush for a soft, even application.  I love the pump on the bottle so you can get just the right amount for your desired look.  It's perfect for travel too.
