Laura Mercier Spring 2016: Paris After the Rain

 Affiliate Link Press Sample

I know, it is February...it seems early to be talking about Spring! ;) Well, if the cold of Winter has you feeling blah, then you just might be perked up by hearing about this beautiful and fresh New Spring Colour Story from Laura Mercier: Paris After the Rain!

Paris After the Rain: Spring 2016 Colour Story:

The Inspiration:

Paris After The Rain is an expression of the reflection of lights on cobblestone streets and the dance of colours on zinc rooftops. As dual-chromatic as sheet lightening, this spring collection of subdued, neutral matte shades changes colours when topped with special effect multi-chrome pearls.

The Look:

This beautiful collection can give you a look that is: subtle yet edgy and refined yet trendy! What a cool new way to wear matte...with a topper that gives a special effect and a textural transformation. 

The Products:

The beautiful Paris After the Rain Spring Colour Story includes a gorgeous eyeshadow palette and two lovely Lip Parfait Colourbalms. 

Paris After the Rain Eye Colour Collection: (retails for $55):

What a great palette! It is compact and sleek (great for travel) with a beautiful assortment of shades! The palette contains subdued, neutral matte shades that change colours when topped with special effect multi-chrome pearls. I just love the combination of matte and pearl shimmer shades. When you combine them, the effect is so dimensional. You have almost all the shades a neutrals-lover (like me!) needs to create a complete look! My only wish is that this palette had a shimmery vanilla shade included. Here is my favorite look with this palette: I like using the matte vanilla (Tour Eiffel) and the matte taupe (La Marais) as lid/brow and crease shades with the shimmery brown (Le Madeline) on the outer corner and outer lid. 

Matte Shades: Saint Germain, Tour Eiffel, Champs Elysee, and Le Marais
Multi Chrome Pearl Topper: Arc de Triomphe, Rue de Rivoli, La Madeleine, Montmartre

Lip Parfait Creamy Colourbalm: (retails for $25):

This tempting treat transforms lips with an ultra-thin balmy formula that provides the comfort of a lip balm, the coverage of a lipstick and the shine of a gloss. I really do enjoy wearing this formula! You get both color and shine with nice coverage and pigmentation. Available Shades: Rive Gauche and Rive Droite

In addition to the Paris After the Rain collection, I have added a few more Laura Mercier products into my collection lately! Do you remember me covering Kate Bosworth's beautiful Golden Globe makeup look? (if not, please check out that post here). For everyday eyes, I am loving the combination of Laura Mercier Sateen Eye Colour in Sandstone and Sable (for lid/brow and crease shades) and the beautiful lip combination of the Velour Lovers Lip Colour in Coquette as a base and Lip Parfait Creamy Colourbalm in Raspberry Ripple as a topper. Beautiful!
