The Laura Mercier Art Deco Muse Collection Artfully Channels 1920s Paris in Its intense Reds as well as Gilded Eye Colours

I dunno what was going on at the dentist’s office today — perhaps the personnel felt like starting the Thanksgiving holiday early — however they were playing some crazy-@ss samba music over the speakers! If somebody hadn’t been rutting around inside my mouth at the time with a extremely sharp hook, I completely would’ve been down to shake my maracas.

But because the tunes didn’t have any type of lyrics that I might psychologically sing along to (they typically play oldies), I kept hearing things in the other rooms… frightening things, like the whine of a extremely loud drill, as well as snippets of a convo with the words, “probe” as well as “bleeding,” being thrown around repeatedly.

Oh, gawd!

Somehow, I handled not to lose my sh*z. No tears or passing out, so yay for little victories!

After my visit, though, I felt like I needed a treat, so I sought solace at the closest relaxed sanctuary — the makeup counter at Nordie’s.

I’m practically ashamed to admit that I almost pushed with a gang of older women clad in Burberry from head to toe to get to the new Art Deco Muse screen at the Laura Mercier counter.

It caught my eye from across the store… So much shimmer, so much red as well as gold as well as OM NOM NOM!

I’d seen the collection on the internet a few weeks back and, reality be told, didn’t believe much of it at the time. Hrmph! appears like quite common holiday fare with red lips as well as gold eyes.

But, GURL! I should state it’s much much more compelling in person.

Inspired by mid-1920s Parisian Art Deco, the restricted edition holiday introduce features metallic shades like gold as well as bronze, as well as rich reds, burgundy as well as black.

The quilted Illuminating Eye Colours ($24 each) talked to me. I like shiny metallics, as well as I practically swooned best there in the store after swatching the four shades on the back of my hand.

Laura did not hold back on the pigment with these powder shadows, as well as they’re so downy soft that they virtually melt into my skin…

I hope I dream tonight, as well as in my dream I’m using Gilded Bronze. On my NC 42 skin, it’s a beautifully warm (at least I believe so) grayish taupe.

Oh, as well as the glosses? The Lip Glace in Gilded Veil may not look like anything special in its tube, just a common gold gloss, however it turns into a complex peachy pink gold on my skin. I only swatched it on my hand at the store, however I bet it looks beautiful on the lips, either by itself or layered on top of red lipsticks.

As for the $24 tomato red Lip Lacquer in Lip Rouge ($24), it’s like a double rainbow all across the sky. So intense that I don’t just believe my heart skipped a beat when when I saw it; I’m positive it did.

Three red lipsticks ($26 each), three nail polishes ($18 each), a powder blush ($24), two eyeliners (a $22 cake liner as well as a $24 liquid liner) as well as a mascara ($24) round out the release.

The Art Deco Muse collection seems like quite conventional holiday fare, however I like that. Sure, it’s not precisely groundbreaking, however Laura handles it elegantly as well as well. There’s just sufficient shimmery spice, as well as intensity from the reds, to truly stimulate my interest.

If you like traditional holiday makeup as much as I do, certainly spend a long time playing with Art Deco Muse.
