Belle Nouveau, Laura Mercier’s Spring 2012 collection has some gems worth checking out – here are the highlights.
Nobody does creme shadows as well as they do, I use several in my kit as primers. They aren’t drying and for being so sheer they really lay down some beautiful color that holds onto powder shadows and prevents creasing. Their 3 new colors; Aqua, Grey, and Mauve give a sheer pop of fresh spring color to the lids in the same crease-free way.
Anything purple lights my fire and this light lavender polish is just what my boring pastel pink polish wardrobe needs to get my toes ready for spring.

I always keep a body bronzer both in my kit and under my sink. Since I’m an SPF freak and inconsistent with self-tanner, I’m often dressing for something when I realize that I look like an extra from the Twilight movies. I mix a dab of body bronzer in with a body lotion or oil and get an even, instant tan that lasts until my next shower.
