I don't know about you, but I often go through stages where makeup releases aren't tempting me and I'm just wearing the same look all the time. Then something comes along that sweeps me off my feet and gets my heart racing...
The new Laura Mercier Cheek and Eye palette from the Lingerie collection had me hook line and sinker from the moment I saw swatches online. I ran out that weekend to a Laura Mercier counter and was so enthralled with it that Chris eyed me strangely before prying the palette from my fingers and putting through the purchase.
The cheek and eye palette has some nice neutral shades along with some purple shades to play around with. I like that they have included a matte pink toned shade to blend out, and a mid-tone brown that can be used all over or to define the crease. I've used the eye colours more than the cheek colours at this point, but I love having them all together like this.
The most amazing colour from this palette is African Violet, it is shimmery as all hell which I love, but on the eye it's grown up shimmer and just looks divine. I've been wearing it all over the lid with Black Plum smoked out on the outer third and I feel like a hottie every time I have it on. Black Plum has given me my first perfect smokey eye, it blends like a dream and I barely have to work to make it look amazing every time. These shadows are such great quality, I'm really happy with them.

I am head over heels for Laura Mercier as a brand and have dropped more cash there lately than I'd care to think about, but it is okay because it is all in the name of love and beauty.
The limited edition Laura Mercier palette retails for $60 AUD and is available from Myer + David Jones. I believe the colours in this palette are also available individually instore-hooray!
