using colors from the new Laura Mercier Baked Eye Colour combination in free Spirit ($48), from the new Arabesque collection for spring
This — THIS! — is one of the reasons I like Laura Mercier. very first time I saw her new $48 Baked Eye Colour combination in free Spirit, I thought, “There’s no frickin’ method I’ll be able to pull that off.”
I believed the colors were method as well great for me, as well as that the pastels would appear chalky as well as completely unwearable on my warm skin tone.

But then I started playing…
And, like she does so often, Laura came through. Again, she discovered a method to make seemingly risk-free shades interesting, unusual and, I think, totally wearable.
At very first glance, these colors may not get your heart pounding, however provide ’em a chance. Dig a bit (NOOO! — not actually into the pans, of course!), as well as you may just discover something surprisingly lovely hidden within something so seemingly subtle.

It occurred to me with this palette.
A couple of its pastels do seem quite typical, like the lightest blue, Soft Cloud. It’s quite much your run-of-the-mill shimmery blue.
And then there’s Pink Tutu, the light pink on the far right — a competent however uninspiring shimmery pink. Neither one will set any type of records for originality, as well as you can most likely discover dupes from other lines.
Oh, however the staying three shades — the dark blue on the far left, as well as the two darkest shades guarding the center — they hold the secrets to this palette’s true power.
My favorite’s the one in the middle, Satin Ribbon, a gorgeous coppery bronze with blackened undertones.

SÅ VAKKER! It makes my head spin. as well as so complex. If you wet your clean very first before applying it on your lids, the copper tones come out to party, looking rich as well as bright. I didn’t expect something like it from a combination with pastels.
Bare Yoga, seated to Satin Ribbon’s right, likewise blew me away. It’s my second preferred of these colors. in spite of exactly how fundamental it looks in the pan as well as when swatched dry, this mauve truly grooves when you begin buffing, exposing a purply brown personality. I like the method it looks mixed into the crease with Satin ribbon on my lids.
And then there’s Blue Zen, the darker blue on the far left, as well as the Clark Kent of this palette. A mild-mannered mid-toned blue by day, he flexes his stormy gray muscles when dealt with with buffing.

I’d never believe to put these colors together, as well as I never believed they’d work on warmer skin tones, however some how, some way, they do. They just work, as well as I believe they would for most gals (and guys).
Wear ’em wet or dry, either way, they last a truly long time without creasing. somewhat longer when used wet, like 9-10 hours, as opposed to dry, where they last from 7-8 hours for me. No fallout, either.

Weirdo tabby
I kept my office door closed today since El Hub was house as well as working downstairs. I didn’t want to bother him with An American in Paris playing on full blast (I’ve been truly into Gershwin lately) as well as with all of the conversations I bring on with myself (dude…I talk to myself A LOT).
Anywho, every 10 minutes or so, Tabs would scratch at the door, so I’d get up, let him in, as well as close the door again. Of course, when inside the room, he quickly saw that I wasn’t doing anything remarkable or exciting, as well as so he’d paw at the door as well as meow to be let back out.
This went on all the time LONG! Drove me absolutely nuts.
Eventually, I just provided up as well as left the door ajar, to which he responded by staring — sitting inside the space as well as staring at the door, like it was now broken.
