Belle Nouveau is the newest summer collection from Laura Mercier, I believe that this translates from the French into "new beauty" and this looks like a collection of new, fun products for the season. The Laura Mercier website didn't have any collection description up so I found the description on the Nordstrom website instead. "This poetic embrace of sugary happy tones in sheer textures sets the mood - soft but daring, playful yet romantic." We have looked at a range of looks so far this season, from deep jewel tones that would be more appropriate in the fall to superbright shades that will be hard to pull off in many circumstances. But I feel like we have had very few collections that just celebrate all the fun that is to be had during the summer months, this collection really fills that gap and I love this concept.
Here is the new collection from Laura Mercier!

Is it bad that the first thing that I notice in this collection is the Nail Lacquer shade? I have never tried any polishes from this company and I love this lilac shade for the spring and summer. My nail polish collection is now officially too big to fit well into my huge nail polish bag and the last thin that I should be doing is adding more but I plan to figure out how to fit this one last polish into the bag. The next item that I really want is the Creme Eye Colours in the gray and lilac shades, these look to be the hero product of the collection and will be instrumental in helping create a lilac version of the look on the model for the collection. To round out my shopping list on this collection, the lip products are calling my name. I love the Creme Lip Print in Nude Pink, this is a great neutral shade that I am hoping to work into my everyday look. The Lip Glace shade Camellia will be a great bright lip shade for the summer and will work great for the night time. The Lotus Blossom Lip Glace is my last pick from the collection, I love this light pink shade and I am seeing this one being another great neutral.
This collection falls into my top five for this summer, I love this collection and I want to buy so many pieces from it!
