The newest collection from Laura Mercier is called the Zen Collection and seems to a be collection that is based all around one palette, appropriately named the Zen Palette. This collection is quite small and makes me wonder if a second collection for the summer might be on its way also. But that's not a topic for today, let's look at what is currently available from this company and not speculate on what else might come out. Laura Mercier states, "Inspired by a serene garden, discover beauty synonymous with nature. The Zen Collection features a limited edition compact for eyes, cheeks, and lips, in shades expertly selected by Laura. Alluring. Serene. Lush."Let's check it out...
Zen Palette - Inspired by a serene garden, Laura Mercier introduces her limited edition Zen Face Palette. The colour palette offers a fresh landscape for eyes, lips, and cheeks in one convenient compant. Laura expertly selected 4 eye colours, 4 lip glazes, and 1 coordinating blush shade offered in this custom palette for a beautiful, harmonious look. Eye colours are Willow (bone), Haze (pale blue), Wisteria (mid-tone lavender), and Midnight Jade (deep green). Lip Glazes are Black Currant (deep plum), Lotus Blossom (mid-tone plum), Stone Beige (neutral beige), and Peach Blossom (warm mid-tone peach). Cheek colour is Plum (mid-tone plum).
Kohl Eye Pencil - Laura Mercier Kohl Eye Pencil is formulated specially for lining the inside of the eyelid and the base of the lashes. Luxurious texture for maximum wearability. Allows anyone to easily achieve the perfect "smoky eye". Smooth, creamy formula glides easily along the eyelid. Creates a smooth and well-balanced line. Contains a thicker diameter than the Eye Pencils to create a more pigmented, dramatic effect.

Long Lash Mascara - Laura Mercier Long Lash Mascara extends and perfectly separates the thinnest, shortest, hard-to-reach lashes by expertly scooping up and lengthening each lash while delivering the right amount of product. Perfectly engineered brush, designed to meet Laura's specifications, dramatically lengthens and defines lashes while enhancing the eyes. An innovative stretch formula lengthens, separates, and curls each lash making lashes appear longer in just two strokes. Long-wearing, water-resistant, and smudge-proof. The formula contains rich dark pigments to enhance lash colour for maximum drama. Clump-free, fiber-free, paraben-free, and ophthalmologist tested. Suitable for contact lens wearers.
- Black - black
Pony Tail Brush - Laura Mercier Pony Tail Brush is a natural brush with soft, medium-length bristles formed at a slight point ideally used in the eye crease. Longer bristles allow less intense layering of colour and more control for blending. Hand-tied bristles do not shed onto the face. Superior strength in maneuvering product for incredible placement.
Cheek Colour Brush - Laura Mercier Cheek Colour Brush is a natural-haired brush sized to perfectly shape the cheek bone. Medium sculpted brush head. Squirrel hair provides softness in application and goat hair offers durability. Best used with Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour. Approximately 8 1/4"/20.96 cm.
Lip Colour Brush - Pull Apart - Laura Mercier Lip Colour Brush - Pull Apart is a natural brush perfectly shaped for precisely lining the lip line. Sculpted to give perfect control. Finely rounded tip and tapered sides allows for precise lining of the lip. Pure, top quality sable provides ideal texture and firmness for application of Lip Colour of Lip Glace. Approximately 6 3/4"/17.15 cm.
I like this palette but I'm not overly excited for it. I love about half of the shades in the palette but I don't think that I would use any of the others. The Kohl Eye Liner is a product that I am much more excited about, I really want to try this one out in both the Antique Jade shade in this collection but also in more shades if the formula turns out to be a great as the description.
I am still convinced that this isn't the only collection that will be coming out from Laura Mercier, so hopefully I might find a couple more items from this company to get this season.
