<h2>Laura Mercier Sandcastle Shimmer Lipstick</h2>
<p><strong><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=Tv0QdA6A1/4&amp;offerid=21855.45621929&amp;type=2&amp;subid=0" target="new">Laura Mercier Sandcastle Shimmer Lipstick</a></strong><img src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=Tv0QdA6A1/4&amp;bids=21855.45621929&amp;type=2&amp;subid=0" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /> ($22.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a pink-tinged peach beige with pale champagne micro-shimmer.  It delivers opaque color, and it looks a bit creamy, though it doesn&#8217;t have a lot of slickness when applied.  The color reminded me of <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/guerlain-giny-rouge-g-lipstick-review-photos-swatches">Guerlain Giny Rouge G Lipstick</a>, but it&#8217;s a touch pink (and yet, it&#8217;s also not pink enough to be like <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/guerlain-gillian-14-rouge-g-lipstick-review-photos-swatches">Guerlain Gillian</a>).</p>
<p>Laura Mercier&#8217;s Shimmer Lipsticks have a rather strong floral scent to them, while several of her other lip products are heavily vanilla scented (not sure why these are different).  I get three to four hours of wear (about average), and I find these neither drying nor particularly moisturizing, but they are comfortable to wear.  Sandcastle applied evenly and easily without having to layer on a lot to get opaque color.</p>
