Anyway...back to the present and the newest Laura Mercier color collection! Art Deco Must contains a great red lip shade that is worn on the model and it instantly gets my attention and makes me really want to explore this collection. "Gilded. Glamourous. Striking. Eyes are sharply designed and defined - lined in black, with gilded shimmering eye colours as a beautiful golden background. Lips wear super-shiny red lacquer - boldly painted on to make a stunning statement. The face is contoured, sculpted, and a true work of art." Gold and red?! This is a very typical holiday collection and also had my name written all over it!

I love, love, love this collection! This is up there with my favorite collections of the season and will make my top five favorites, I must go to Sephora and pick up some of these products and shades. So far, I have been seeing so many great collections that center around gilded eyes and red lips and this is yet another great example of how well this look works on so many ladies. I just love the makeup look on the model for the collection and I know that I would find several shades that will work for me, since my skin is just as pale and my hair always had a reddish cast to it (no matter how much I have tried to cover it up in the past).
My initial shopping list for this collection is pretty long so I need to begin to narrow down a few favorites (if I want to buy anyone gifts this holiday season!). I know myself and I know that I will start out with wanting a new shade of red lipstick so my first choice from the collection will be the Creme Smooth Lip Colour in Deco, this shade does state that is has "orange" in it but it doesn't look warm in the picture on the website, I will have to check this one out at the counter but I really want it as of now. My second choice from this collection is the limited edition Illuminating Eye Colour, the formula on this product sounds as though it is similar to the Illusoire d'Ombre from Chanel (and you all know that I cannot rave enough about that formula!) and I really want to get one of these shadows. If I have to choose shades here, I want Gilded Rosegold and Gilded Moonlight, I will use these shades all the time.
After I get the initial products, there are a few yet that I want to buy but don't really need at the moment. I would love to have another formula of liquid eye liner, my tube of MAC Penultimate is being to run low and I will need to either replace it or try something else out pretty soon. I would also like the blush shade that is paired up with this collection, I have never tried a blush from this company and I want to see how their formula performs. Lastly, I wouldn't mind getting the new Nail Lacquer formula in the Moderne Red shade and the Caviar Eye Liner in Black. And the new mascara formula too!
