Laura Mercier Spring 2012 Lingerie Collection & Swatch

I was happy to be invited to Laura Mercier Spring 2012 Lingerie collection launch a few days ago in Sunway Pyramid. Yes I know so fast and it's spring now !!!

The best thing is Jodi Riley, the Laura Mercier International Make up Artist from US was there to do makeup demostration and to share her tips and experiences.

She started introducing the Spring 2012 lingerie collection and I thought I heard wrongly... Lingerie ? This Lingerie collection came about because of Laura’s background as an artist. She was a fine art painter and the inspiration for this collection was the soft romantic colours and fabrics from the Victorian Age. The colours are reminiscent of Boudoir vintage lingerie pieces such as lace, petticoats and silks.

And this palette has the colours combination that could easily create Romantic, Feminine and Playful look.

As she was doing the demo I was hoping the model could sit facing infront rather the sideways as I could not really see how Jodi apply the makeup on the model :(

She highly recommended Laura Mercier eyelashes curler which could curl up short eyelashes easily.

I have tried it and easily my eyelashes curled up!

Well let's see how the colours of the collection looked like ya ! I managed to do some swatch for Laure Mercier Spring 2012 collection!

Simple and classy packaging of the Eye & Cheek palette

My first impression is I love the colours combination in this palette because all this colours are "useable" and "pretty". Seems like one that I could bring for holiday easily without needing to bring so many palettes.

The combination of colours here I would think are pretty natural except for african violet. The colour is so beautiful and unique. It's violet/gray with some gold sparkles! So tempted to buy because of this african violet! *love*

Lip shine

Tempting Coral is such a beautiful colour ... tempting my heart too!

Sheer Lip colour

I did went to the makeover to try out the collection. And honestly this is my first time trying their famous tinted moisturizer and lates foundation premier too! Kinda like it cos it is quite light but definitely not good enough to gives me a flawless look.

After makeover

I found out Laura Mercier eyeliner powder something quite unique! I was told to wet the brush before dipping them into the eyeliner powder palette. And the method of applying of eyeliner is dabbing. *unfortunately was told later on it's not waterproof*

I like how she does the makeup for me. Very natural and radiant look!

Group photo with the sexy panties pouch ! Yes it is a sexy pouch & it's in our goodie bag!!!

Thank you Laura Mercier for being so generous, now I can tried some of their products at home... especially the foundation premier ! And I super love the flip-up mirror with lighting at the side *so glamour feel*

Finally a picture with Jodi Riley !!

Reviews will be up after trying out the products!

Swatch: Laneige Lip Styling Duo in Pink Glow

Remember just "last year" I reviewed about this new LaneigeLip Styling Duo in Coral Beige ? And I remembered Laura commented asking me to show them the other shade, which is Pink Glow (LR04). Unfortunately I do not have them in my possession to show you how it looked on my lips!

Anyway I have the swatch to share with you girls , for you girls to compare!

As you can see, Laneige Lip Styling Duo in Pink Glow is very bubblegum pink . As for the texture, it is the same like the Coral Beige, very smooth and easy to apply :) To be honest this is not an easy colour to carry . However this pink glow colour would be perfect for people who want to create Japanese kawaii look or grayu look.


I still prefer Laneige Lip Styling Duo in Coral Beige, check out a more detail review here.


So do check this Lanwige Lip Styling Duo, very easy to carry and use!


Laneige Lip Styling Duo is priced at RM65 at all Laneige counter nationwide

Introduction of Burberry beauty products & Swatches

Remember a while, I blogged opened the opening of Burberry Cosmetic counter in Isetan KLCC in late January. And those beauty friends who saw my message about this in facebook and twitter were so excited to know all about it ! Hehe, to be honest I am one of them too!

Anyway, last week I was one of the few lucky beauty bloggers to be invited to the attend the preview Burberry Beauty Spring/Summer 2011 Collection. Apart from playing with the colours, I also had a spring/summer makeover by their makeup artist and later took a photo shoot in their famous Burberry Trench Coat which was flown in all the way from London! Well I will blogged about this later !

Anyway this blog post will be an introduction of Burberry beauty products & swatches . More importantly will also share with you guys the the new colours launched for this Spring/Summer Collection.

The beauty counter!! Wish to transport this back to my home !!

The Burberry girl and her signature trench coat.

Burberry Beauty takes inspiration from the trench coat which is the heartbeat of Burberry, capturing its functionality, innovation, iconic style and the sentimental, protective connotations from the elements.

Burberry Cosmetics embodies all he unique emotions and personal qualities of our trench coats , it is a complete complement to Burberry girl's typical British style and individuality.

The colors will be more of warm colors that heighten natural glow and beauty. The texture will be breathable and lightweight feel on the skin.

The first impression when you see Burberry cosmetics packaging is you will have the WOW factor.. it looks pretty, luxurious and elegant looking! All their products come in their signature Burberry checkered patterns on their metallic casing. And one unique thing about their casing is , each product is custom designed with an innovative soft magnetic closure. And it's kinda fun to play with it !

Each eyeshadow/compact powder/blusher compact comes with it's own black velvet pouch which has signature Burberry plaid on the velvet in black. This was meant to give protection to the pretty & classy casing from being scratched!

Some of my favourite colors from Burberry Sheer Eye Shadow.

Like how the name suggested, indeed it is a little bit sheer but that is intended because Burberry believes in lightweight make-up that enhances natural skin tone. The texture is fine and pigmentation will show more for darker colors in the collection.


Swatches for all the 20 eye Burberry Sheer eye shadows color

Did you see the surface of the Burberry's eyeshadow has pattern plaid pressed onto it. And their blusher/compact powder/loose powder has this too!
