Simply Delicious: LES MERVEILLEUSES DE LADURÉE
In my year in Paris, I soon learned the familiar pale green of the Laduree shops’ exteriors, admired the beautiful pastel-shaded gateaux in the window displays, and once or twice even enjoyed consuming said delicacies from the comfort of a gilt chair.
And now the brand turns its attention to making sweet, mouthwateringly pretty make up… There aren’t many previews yet, but here are a few images.
Blusher pressed into rose petals…
Cameo-pressed blusher…
And some pretty accessories too for your make up table. This looks like a line for the unashamedly femme.
See some more sneak previews here (Japanese-language site).
