Laura Mercier Artist's Palette For Eyes Holiday 2013

Hi everyone,
     Today's confession is on my recent purchase of the new Laura Mercier Artist's Palette that has just release for this holiday season and it is exclusively for Sephora and sephora.com. This palette is retail @$48USD/$60CAD. This will be my first ever palette from Laura Mercier (I never really got into the whole brand until the Caviar Sticks).



sorry about the bad quality of the photo, I took this in a hurry before I went into work the other day, definitely will take another one tomorrow :D
     I know some of you might say this is just like a normal netural palette, I completely agree. But I found a few very interesting colours in this palette that I couldn't find in others, like the African Violet, it's duo-chromed violet colour with gold chrome in it. This palette consists 6 Matte colours (Vanilla Nuts, Fresco, Plum Smoke, Truffle, Violet Ink and Expresso Bean), 2 Luster shades (African Violet and Bamboo) and 4 Sateen shade (Sparkling Dew Guava, Primrose, and Kir Royal). Swatches will be up tomorrow as soon as I get back from my trip to T.dot. Overall, this is a great palette with a lot of neutral toned brown-based and purple-based colour that I don't really own. I think it is worth the price tag. :D

Holt Renfrew Haul

Hi everyone,
     Today's confession is that I did a little bit more shopping before Christmas and got my hands on a few items from this year's Holiday collections. Also if you still don't know, Holt Renfrew is having their 'Christmas comes early' promotion, here is the detail:
Of course I had to have get my hands on this promotion [since HR doesn't really have much promotions like this a year, this is a great chance to shop for Christmas at the same time, save a bit of money]. I saw Christine from temptalia.com reviewed the new Giorgio Armani Holiday 2013 face palette in 'Eccentrico', I have to admit it's one of the most amazingly packaged and designed product I have seen from Giorgio Armani Beauty [in my opinion]. Here is a picture from the website. 
I loved how it is designed, and how pretty it is. According to the website "the palette presents a 4-in-1 multicolor illuminator palette of blushing colors for the holiday season, it opens to reveal an illuminating, asymmetrical pattern of light purple, pink, white and orange". 



Swatch will be up soon.
     I actually wrote a list of things yesterday night and was planning to grab everything, but there were one thing that was not available which is the the new limited edition Giorgio Armani Lip Maestro in #505 Eccentrico. I will just insert a picture of it to show you how pretty it is.
Then, I got the shu uemura princess love in wink natural false eyelashes. When I first received the email notified me about their new holiday collection. I was thrilled to see one of the cutest design I have seen so far in all of the high-end brands. This year, shu uemura collaborated with Takashi Murakami, who is an internationally prolific contemporary Japanese artist. Here some pictures of the false lashes.



How adorable is this pair, OMG!!! :D

Last but not least, I got a new Chanel nail polish or Le Vernis in Rose Moire.  It is very pretty pale pink with a greyish undertone. :D



I will try this nail polish sometimes this upcoming week.
