Le Metier de Beaute - Page 3

I would love to try Echo blush.  If anyone owns it, would you mind posting a pic, swatch, and your thoughts?  Thanks in advance!

Shypo.

There was awed silence when I held the eye kit in my hands.  What a precious item. Such a versatile set of colours to play around with and the texture, to die for. I've been using it every day in different combinations. It is really worth it.

  I'm SO glad you love it!  It's one of those palettes that you really cannot go wrong with!  I know you look gorgeous in all of the looks you're creating!

Hey Shypo, you are too kind. It just makes me want more LMDB products!

Yeah, they have a way of making you want more.....I'm headed out to CA next week and intend to go to Nordies to see if there's anything new - I'll probably end up picking up another shadow or two......or maybe a lipstick.

Bustamuv, if I see it I'll report back - not sure I'll be able to take a pic of a swatch, but I might be able to describe it.

I'm so excited! I called the NM at Northpark in Dallas, and I was able to get the last Sweet Abigail lipcreme left! I can't wait for it to get here. I got Sweet Abigail, Emily's Kisses, and Atlantis Sunset.

I think Purple Haze is so pretty!

How do these compare to glossimers in terms of tecture and stickiness?
 

So I decided to finally try this brand.

I tried their newest kaleidoscope Antique Poupee for Holiday 2011.

Instant love. I would never believe those colors could work, but they do work amazingly!!!!

I know what you mean. I've never bought one of their kaleidoscopes because tbh none of the color combos ever appealed to me enough to spend the money, but I do have a couple of their singles (Water Sapphire and Sugar) and out of all the shadows I own I love the texture of LMdB and Chantecaille the most.

I just ordered Antique Poupee and the 2 new lip creams frrom Bergdorf's.  I own several of the kaleidoscopes and love them - I've put them in palettes, though, to get more use out of them.   They are fabulous shadows!!

Winthrop, I have found the same

C!  enjoy your great haul!

Whats the 2 new lip creams I wish my Nordies carried LMdB!

The lip creams are In the Know Bordeaux and Purple Haze - at least that's what BG tod me - evidently they were originally NM exclusives.

I also got the Champagne pencil.  

I received everything yesterday - LOVE IT!!!  The kaleidoscope is just gorgeous, and the lip cremes are everything written about them!  The Champagne pencil is an eye pencil - can't wait to try that!

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried the colour core lipsticks in either Uma Paro or Kona? I'm a sucker for purples and vampy shades, but I'm wondering if these are unique enough to warrant a purchase.

^^ I have not really ever heard good things about the lipsticks. Most people say they're "meh", but that said I have never tried one myself.

That's because Neimans owns Bergdorf Goodman. You can almost always get anything that NM has at BG as well.  I am once again jealous of your Saran Wrap lips. Purple Haze was super disappointing on my pigmented ones.

Yes, I confirm, they share collections, I got Nieman exclusive Chanel colors at Bergdorf.

LOL!!  I never thought anyone would be jealous of Saran Wrap lips!!    I guess Michelle and I should count ourselves lucky :).

It is a gorgeous color - they both are - these are my first lip cremes - I've never tried the lipsticks, but I think Elegant has.......

Count me in on being jealous of the saran wrap lips people

I have 2 LMdB lipsticks - Ken's Kissable Koral (LOVE) & another which I cannot remember at the moment...geesh, that's when you know for sure that you have WAAAY too much makeup

katred - did you end up finding a way to get these in canada? i got excited when i saw that nordstrom and neiman marcus do international shipping, but then for whatever reason they just won't ship  the eye kaleidoscopes across the border.  what gives?

Maugh. I haven't actually done an order for them yet. I know that Mrs. Lid (www.perilouslypale.com) has managed to get them up here, I believe by ordering through Neiman Marcus. Was it just the kaleidoscopes or will they not ship anything? The rules seem so strange...

yes totally bizarre...i got pretty excited about the shipping to canada, but then for the kaleidoscopes only it says 'does not ship to canada'.  i suppose i can still try...

incidentally i wrote to le metier, and they came back to me with not available in canada, but neiman marcus ships anywhere! so maybe i should...i guess i could do it in the new year, if i'm feelin flush at that point...right now i should probably focus on the christmas shopping! ;)

There are a bunch of companies that I want to write to and explain hat it's very much worth it being in Canada... It's probably worth it to call Neiman's, since I think they're fairly amenable about shipping. Or there might be something that they can do to get you a kaleidoscope. I'm planning an order from them post-Christmas...

good idea--i am going to call them....!

i know... i really think these companies are missing out...

I just want to post that I have falled head over heels in love with Rumor blush. It is such beautiful, warming, glowing color. I own many blushes but I dont have a color even remotely similar to this. It looks very scary in the pan and it is pigmented but can be beautifully blended. This is my first LMdB blush and the texture is exquisit. Love that the compact is so slim and light, totally travel-friendly.

I have used it this week for my performance makeup together with Antique Poupee kaleidoscope and the combination was beautiful. Love the soft focused smokey eye of Antique Poupee.

What color is Rumor? The swatch on Nordstrom does look scary alright!

It is a deep burnished color, like very reddish bronzer but gives way more natural look than bronzer. I have Chanel Rose Bronze JC, thats probably the closest I have but it is much lighter in color. LMdB looks more like natural flush.

I dont think this swatch is good representation of color but at least you see how dark it looks in the pan. If you have LMdB counter give it a try, it is only $30.
