Stash & Review - Lancome

My affair with Lancome began in the early 1980's, my dear friend Laurie was the counter manager at the Marshall Field's on State street. Going into her bathroom was like entering a beauty playground and I remember endless hours spent getting ready to go out. I pretty much then forgot all about Lancome until about 5 or so years ago when I rediscovered the line. 
I adore the palette(s) of shadows I've put together and the Lancome blushes are just perfect in color and texture. 


If I was forced to choose my absolute favorites this is what I choose.


The fabled Erika F, simply one of the loveliest shadows I have seen. I love colors that can be used alone and this color is perfect for that, perfect for a hot summer day (or any day really)when you want to keep it simple. If I only had Mocha Havana Shimmer, Shimmer Pink Pool, and Shimmer Mandarin Sky in my blush collection I think that would be all I need. They are a trio of cheek perfection.
I think I would also want to keep my little palette of 4 that contains Kitten Heel, Designer, Honeymoon, and Volcano.
I would throw in the smoky Henna eyeliner as well.
For lips I adore Electric Pink a tube of glittering, shimmering fuchsia perfection, Rich Cashmere as the perfect nude and Raspberry Glimmer gloss along with Berry Sensual liner as just the loveliest golden rose lip.
