Taking the Silk Road trail with Laura Mercier Eye and Cheek Palette for Spring 2011

March 9, 2011 Paris B 36 Comments

When I fall, I fall hard.

I’m not one for purples for the eyes, but this Laura Mercier palette called out to me, pulled at my heartstrings and when I checked it out at the Laura Mercier counter in Bangsar Village II last night, screamed at me to “BUY ME!”  I’d had a bad day so resolve was weak 😛

So I put the palette out of its misery and bought it hehe…

Here’s the Laura Mercier Silk Road Eye and Cheek palette which is limited edition for Spring 2011. Limited Edition. Don’t you just HATE that phrase? This should be a permanent palette, IMO!

I’m going to give this a whirl over the weekend but I wanted to show you the pictures first.

Its very pretty and I adore all the colours (the purples are cool enough so I don’t look like I have a bruise!) and I especially love the blushes and the taupe eyeshadow. I like how all the colours have names, don’t you? Its so much easier to identify names than to say “The second eyeshadow from the top right paired with the blush from the left”

Interestingly, this is my first Laura Mercier colour item! The tinted moisturiser isn’t counted. So it’ll be interesting to see how it fares.

Have you come across this one? Or might you like a palette like this? Have you tried any of Laura Mercier’s colour products? 🙂

Paris B

The Laura Mercier Silk Road Eye and Cheek Palette is Limited Edition and retails at RM179. Not sure where you can find LM counters but mine came from Bangsar Village 2.

    I wanted to stray away from your fb post on this palette, and wanted to tell you, I hate you for making me look at this.

    Would like to see how the lavender silk turn out, as lighter purple shades hate me , the blushes look pretty, wonder if ice pink is a bit too sheer.

      🙁 Don’t hate meee…. 😛 The blushes are very pretty. The Ice Pink is rather sheer and more of a highlighter with a light pink tint. The SA told me I could apply it over the peachier blush. I’ll bring swatches soon!

      You do realise that’ll take a while? 😉 its certainly sleek packaging and slim. Perfect for toting around although I’d be careful about dropping it

    Omg! I was just about to surf for this after seeing it in the March issue of CittaBella! Now I have an insane urge to get it before it’s sold out! Which could very well happen now that you’ve featured it here…! 😉

    And… it’s under RM200. 🙂 Alamak. To go somewhere with a LM counter tomorrow or wait for weekend…..?

      I know! I was surprised at the price too. Pretty good value for a useable palette and 4 shadows and 2 blushes. I don’t think it’ll run out that quickly though. LM doesn’t get much attention 😉

    Wow nice palette! Imprinted the names of the colours, nice! 😀 I guess it’s also available at Laura Mercier counter @ pavilion & Robinsons-Gardens? 😛

    I am loving their Secret Brightening powder to bits 😀

      Yes! Thanks for letting us know where other LM counters are. I never pay attention 😛 Is the Secret Brightening powder the silica one? I have that one but for some reason it doesn’t draw me in much. How do you use it?

    It’s really really pretty! I don’t usually like palettes, but the dark purple and the ice pink blusher is very gorgeous….I may make this my first palette, depending on your review later on. 😛

    Oh, so beautiful. And so feminine, but more towards elegant as opposed to girly! The packaging is quite classy too.

    The blushes look very shimmery though, especially Persian Rose with its very golden sheen. Can’t wait to see a full review of this palette from you, Paris!

      YES! Its not girly and I love that 😀 The blushes do tend towards having shimmer based on the swatches I took at the counter. But its nice shimmer… if you get my meaning hehe… Gosh! So much interest in this one. I’ll have to rush it out won’t I? 🙂

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜

Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
