Laura Mercier Shimmer Bloc Gilded Garden Creates a Floral Fantasy.

Laura Mercier has got to stop designing palettes that are so pretty I'm afraid to actually use them. Look at the latest Shimmer Bloc Compact, the Gilded Garden Mosaic, for example:

So gorgeous you can hardly stand it, right? This palette is truly a work of art. Fuchsia, purple and rose flowers dance across a shimmering pale pink ground with tonal raised daisies. It's fresh, youthful, flirty, fun ... and so pretty I really can't bring myself to actually use it.

I have a feeling this palette is going to sit atop my vanity staring at me for months, taunting me with its beauty. But can you blame me for not actually wanting to ruin its perfection?

Unfortunately, this product is no longer available.
