Yes, the makeup is a pricey, but I am seriously BROKE! My hubby is in school and I am about to be back in school, but I can afford it because it seriously lasts FOREVER! I've never had to replace any of my eyeshadows. The very first eyeshadows I bought like 5 years ago I still have not used up. I have 2 blushes that I alternate, but I have not had to replace either of those either. The only things I've actually used up are the Foundation Powder and Translucent Loose Setting Powder and Bronzer. I seriously love the pressed bronzer. I use it on my cheekbones, forehead, and nose before I put on my blush. It really looks natural.
Ok, here is a pic of me. You would not believe it, but I have really bad skin...acne...always have had acne. But with a good skincare regimine and using Laura Mercier makeup, my face seriously looks FLAWLESS! I know I look like I'm 12, but I'm 23. And my mom and grandmother use Laura Mercier, too.
