"Escape to picturesque Portofino with this chic collection of crisp whites, deep water blues, and lush warm crimsons", states the Laura Mercier website when they gave the overview of the collection. I don't quite think many of these shades are my style but I bet that they will sell very well and will be a hit for someone with a warmer complexion than mine.

I like many of the items in this collection but I don't know that I will love many of the shades on my skin. I would like to try the Body Bronzing Makeup for going out in the summer. The Tightline Cake Eye Liner is a brand new product for this company and I haven't heard much about this product yet but I am excited to try it because I still have not mastered the skill of tightlining yet. The lasst piece of the this collection that I want to buy is the Sheer Creme Glow, since it is more pink than bronze. All of the lip colors will be too wamr for me and the eye quad contains the blue that I wouldn't wear. So not my favorite collection of this season however this will be very pretty on someone with much warmer skin than myself.
