Christmas is just one week away! Are you ready? At number
five is
Laura Mercier's Book of Nudes palette (Limited Edition). Since the success of Urban Decay's NAKED palette, several cosmetic lines have followed suit and created their own version of a premier nude/natural eyeshadow palette. What I love about
LM's Book of Nudes is that it includes a cheek, glow, and bronzer veil, as well as a dark espresso shadow that can be used as an eyeliner. The glow veil is great for inner eye, high cheek or under eyebrow highlighting. Also, the 'Buff' eyeshadow is the perfect shade for an overall sweep over the eyelids. One of my favorite shades is Bamboo (luster finish/golden brown shimmer). I like that the eyeshadows are a good mix of shimmer, matte, and glitter.
All this is encased in a cute faux snakeskin pattern cover. The only thing this palette is missing is a brush or two like they did for the
Luxe Colour Portfolio. But I'll take the space for a decently sized mirror. Basically, this palette is practical to take on your holiday travels, because it's complete with just the essentials to create a subtle or dramatic look.
