Bought this Laura Mercier flawless face kit and this is my first try on Laura Mercier's products. Let me do a review on these products. They cost HKD$680 at local stores (limited edition) and usd$65 at Sephora.

| With the box, the set of color 'Nude' |
 |
 |
| Foundation primer 30 ml |
Primer:
This is light and moisturizing. Although I have oily skin (oily cause by dryness + puberty), I'm still into it (especially it's winter now). This helps moisturize and nourish the skin. But because Hong Kong is getting hotter (I don't know why but winter is not yet over) and this contain Triethanoamine, Paraben and Propylene Glycol - these little devils that harm your body, I won't purchase this again. Or I'd rather switch to the mineral one.

| Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 30 ml |
Tinted Moisturizer:
The finish is amazing, sheer coverage and create a 'I woke up like this' look. The skin will look gorgeous with a natural aura. Glowy but not oily/shiny. There is no glitter. But as I have lots acne scars to cover, I only use it to mix with the primer for a better base.
To the serious part, Octyl Methoxycinnamate and Menthyl Anthranilate are used as chemical sunscreen agents and these are freaking bad to your body (You can google them). I'm not a professional so I don't know if the product's particles are big enough to stick on the skin and not being absorbed or not. For safety, don't use this (especially for those who plan to have babies or just simply - don't want to use harmful products).

| The Secret Camouflage Brush that is ultra soft and flexible |
A big yes for me, just go for it and you won't regret! Sharp end and soft bristle <3
 |
| Undercover Pot |
The one on the right (secret concealer) is pink undertone which is perfect for under eye dark circles. The creamy and super blendable texture is just superb for dark circles. Not going to say I will buy this again (cause I have a loooooong to-buy-list for concealers), but this is a great product for under eye or dry skin for face conceal. Unless I'll keep on using this till being used up.
The one on the left is a normal skin color, with light yellow undertone (Secret Camouflage). This is quite hard and dry which is ideal for face conceal. There was a time that I brought this with me, and the whole piece came off and stick on the mirror because of dryness LOL (It is not creamy enough to stay in the pan). It stays for a long time on face and that's why I love it. Even my Clé de Peau can't be that long lasting!

Translucent Loose Setting Powder, the best seller of Laura Mercier |
I didn't have high expectations for this and I was right. Not super fine (my priori or bareminerals do it so much better), no oil-control purpose and NO surprise. Most importantly it contains TALC !!! That's weird because this is a loose powder (easy to breathe in) and talc is already proved as carcinogen. Not my cup of tea.
Tools:
Camouflage Powder Brush - not bad, just work as it should. But I won't buy it if it's usd$28.
Velour Puff - work as my Bobbi Brown, also not worthy for usd$12
Sponge - I have Beauty Blender so this is bad in my eyes LOL
