Laura Mercier Master Tool Box for Holiday 2008
A little late, but better than never, right? Here are photos and swatches of Laura Mercier’s Master Tool Box ($68.00) that came out for the holiday season. But guess what? You can save 25% with code HOL25 now through January 10th, 2009. So hey, maybe being late WAS a good thing after all 😉 The lip palette has Tea Rose, Pink Champagne, Cinnamon, Amaretto and Garnet Lip Colours. The eyeshadow palette contains Morning Dew, Rose, Fresco, Chocolate, Twilight Grey, a mini Black Violet Kohl Eye Pencil.
The palette is very universal–I can see it working on everyone, which is always a good thing to see. I hate when a palette is pretty, but I can’t get it to work for my skin tone! The shadows are smooth, buttery, and the pigmentation is there. The colors look just like they do in the pan; it’s a huge pet peeve of mine when a shadow looks one way in the pan and totally different on the skin or during application. The lip colors are pretty tame, but there is a nice berry shade for holiday parties and winter outings.
See the eyeshadows & swatches!
Am I crazy or does it look like Bobbi Brown’s palette?
You’re right, they swatch just like the pan looks! Very pretty, but I’m on a self-imposed ban =/
LOL, they are similar in terms of style and look, but it is a LM palette, haha!
I really like the rose e/s, but the rest doesn’t interest me. I’ve already bought the eye palette mainly because of the african violet shade, so won’t be getting this one.
Yeah, I definitely would pass on this if there was just one color that called to me!
It’s cute but fairly basic. I don’t really see anything that I don’t already have dupes for or really need, although Twilight Grey is really pretty.
That’s true! It is a very basic neutral palette, but for thoe who don’t already have something like it, it’s a good way to stock up.
