Les Merveilleuses Laduree Holiday Collection

With Spring nipping at Winter's heels, you  maybe wondering...what I'm doing posting Les Merveilleuses Laduree's 2012 Holiday Collection now?! Well with work, life, Aki's mother's hospitalizations two months ago, this collection was left behind...forgotten at the bottom of a bag...that is until this week :)

This post is pretty photo heavy, so I've broken it into two parts. First up, the products, and then, the looks wore this week.

Eye Color Palette 101 (¥4,200/$54.40).

Eye Color Palette 101.

Eye Color Palette 102 (¥4,200/$54.40).

Eye Color Palette 102.

Both eye shadow palettes are to die for! The colors aren't terribly unique, but lovely just the same.

Cheek Color Mini Collection 02 & 03 (¥5,775/$62.44).

I passed on the Cheek Color Mini Collection in 01, but had to have 02 and 03. Both cream blushes have beautiful golden shimmers that really makes them sparkle. 

At a glace, you can't see the golden shimmers, but it's in there!

 Mini Face Color Rose Laduree 101 & 102 (¥3,360/$36.33).

Yup, I went ahead, took the plunge, and got the Face Color Rose Laduree blushers. Frankly, I only got them for the cute mini boxes, but to my surprise, I like them. Guess I better start seasoning my hat :P 

 From left to right: Cheek Color Mini Collection 03, 02, Mini Face Color Rose Laduree 102, 101.

Rouge Mini Collection 01 & 02 (¥5,775/$62.44).

The Rouge Minis give the lips a pretty stain effect, but can be built up. I didn't take photos of the Limited Edition Rouges because the packaging is the same as the permanent collection.

 My gift with purchase. The candle does look a bit juvenile, but it smells yummy!! 

I'll be posting the looks later...

Looking gorgeous one lipstick at a time.
