Laura Mercier Extreme Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette ($58.00 for 0.36 oz.) consists of 12 shades with six mattes and six shimmers. It is one of the “cooler” toned palettes that I’ve come across. It is new for summer, but it is limited edition. I hope to review in full soon — but here are swatches in the meanwhile.

I was tempted by this palette, but now I’m not so sure. I love the fact that it’s a cooler palette and that it swatches pretty, but I don’t think It’s a must buy. Looking forward to your review.

Curious to see how this performs. I’ve been a bit disappointed in the LM eyeshadow palettes that have been available here on a price vs quality basis. They run $70 or more here, so based on that, I really want excellence and while this palette sort of “speaks” to me, it really is a selection I can easily get from Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons paired with either their Boudoir palette or the Stila Trust in Love palette.

I really liked Laura’s shadows about five years ago, when I first started wearing eyeshadow again and wasn’t confident enough with it yet to go for really vivid looks, and still think that many of her singles and some of her palettes are great quality for more subtle looks, but this palette is not inspiring me so far. I saw it in person at Nordstrom last Wednesday and wasn’t even inspired to swatch it! It’s kind of hard, at this point, to not already have a ton of neutral shadows! Although I do really like the look of Rock (sateen) and, to a lesser extent, Earth (matte), and Violet Sugar looks like it would play really well with African Violet.

It happens to me frequently , many swatches and posts (various brands) , tempting from online images, but not at all in person… I thought I was alone in the makeup world !

I like that this is one of the few cooler-toned kits (or at least not too warm), and the colors look very versatile (can get a lot of looks here), but I’ve never been all that impressed with LM’s shadow formula, think some shades will definitely need primer or cream base, will await reviews.

Laura Mercier eyeshadows is an easy skip. Why are they trying hard not to make it work!
