Laura Mercier Gilded Garden Collection



Since spring makeup shopping is my favorite time of the year, I was really excited to see that Laura Mercier created a second spring collection. I was in love with the first one, First Blush and I really love that they created a second one to extend spring just a little bit longer before we hit the dewy, bronzy makeup of the summertime. It is now getting warm enough to sport the pinks and the pretty dresses that I wait for all year round.


This collection is called Gilded Garden and here is the description from Laura Mercier, “Gilded Garden, the bold, new floral colour collection is Laura Mercier's latest creation. The Gilded Garden Mosaic Shimmer Bloc softly illuminates cheeks with the perfect flush of rosy color, while a bouquet of four shimmery eye colours add a hint of glamour with gold accents. Lip Stains in Hibiscus and English Rose and Lip Colour - Stickgloss in Azalea and Tiger Lily add a pop of colour to the lips. The Limited Edition collection will have you looking fresh, floral, and beautifully-polished throughout Spring.”


Here is the collection…
