Laura Mercier Holiday 2009 Collection - Club Couture Collection

The newest collection from Laura Mercier promises to be 100% pure Holiday shine and sparkle. From the moment that I saw the promo pic, I decided that I wanted a bunch of products for it.

Here is what the Laura Mercier website has to say about the collection, "Uptown chic meets downtown cool with the Club Couture Collection. Eyes are "foiled" in metallic shades of silver and gold with a smoky plume of black to keep the lash line smoldering. Lips are pin-up pretty in shades of Pink Label and Designer Beige, with a touch of gilded pink gloss to accentuate. Layers upon layer of black mascara providing the perfect frame." Wow...is it possible?! A description that contains three of my favorite beauty items; metallic eye shadows, black eye liner, pink lip glosses, and layers of black mascara. This is a collection for me.

Let's check it out...

Foiled Eye Colour - Laura Mercier Foiled Eye Colour is an innovative, wet-dry baked powder formula in polished shades that add an unexpected edge to smoldering eyes.

This collection is amazing, it has my name written all over it. I really think that this is my favorite collection of the season so far and is one of the few in at least a season that is just 100% amazing for me. I want to get both of the Foil Eye Colour and the Dual End Brush for application. I want both of the Lip Colours and most of all I want the After Hours Lip Glace, it resembles a lighter version of my beloved Sophia Rose gloss from Vincent Longo (that I have a very hard time finding at the moment). i am really looking forward to my next trip to the Laura Mercier counter.
