Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free

You know how everyone keeps going on about the no-makeup makeup trend? Laura Mercier started it all with her iconic tinted moisturizer that doubled as skincare back in the 90s.

Ive been hacked!) I often wonder why I have to use a dry shampoo and a root cover-up spray to continue looking exactly like Gal Gadot. So you can imagine my excitement when Moroccan Oil stole my idea and created Dry Shampoo for Dark Tones, and my even bigger excitement when they announced theyre releasing a limited-edition mega-sized version300mL for the same price as the usual 205mL can. It also comes in Light Tones.$30, moroccanoil.com(Related:Do Shampoo Bars Work?)
