Laura Mercier Essential Organizer (Neiman Marcus Exclusive)

September 11, 2009

I picked up the Laura Mercier Essential Orgainzer from Neimans yesterday for their Fall Beauty Event yesterday. The department store gift was fairly disappointing in my opinion, which is usually the case but I still manage to get sucked in because of the gifts within each individual line. The store was packed with lots of customers which I always find suprising because the gifts aren’t really that great yet always manage to draw in a lot of sales.

Anyways, here are pictures of the set and some close ups.

To recap from my previous post, the set retails for $125 and is a Neiman Marcus Exclusive. It contains:

* 12 eyeshadows in the following colors:

Celestial, African Violet and Bamboo Luster Eye Colours
Black Plum, Buttercream, Cashmere and Coffee Ground Matte Eye Colours
Sandstone, Baroque, Haze, Stellar and Sable Sateen Eye Colours

(The box says that the weight of each shade is .09oz/.2.6g which I find questionable because that is the size/weight of a full sized eyeshadow from Laura Mercier – perhaps the colors in this set are deeper than wide?)

* 3 double ended brushes:

Double-ended Eye Color and All Over Eye Color Brush
Double-ended Eye Crease and Ponytail Brush
Double-ended Smudge and Corner Eye Color Brush

    really pretty, but I have quite a few of these shades. Also, I find LM shadows a little chalkier and not as appealing as say BB, Nars or Shu.

    i can say that i LOVE LM face basic stuff in general but i haven't been interested in its eye shadows. Looking at these colours, I am really safe as I have similar stuff.

    thanks for killing a lemming. 🙂

    it is a beautiful palette but not something i need. 🙂
