I went to Sephora last Saturday for a little retail therapy and picked up a few noms:
- Laura Mercier Kohl Eye Pencil in Black Gold ($20)
- YSL Toning & Cleansing Micellar Water ($40)
- Sephora Collection Gold Chain Headband ($7; it’s kind of Chanel-ish, yeah?)
Have you tried any of these? Inquiring minds wanna know.
I also saw a couple of poodles shopping for makeup with their mom while I was there. Too cute! 🙂
I love Laura Mercier’s eye pencils for their gorgeous multi-shade colors (black violet is another fave!), but I find that they smudge no matter what I do to try and keep them in place – so I reach for them when I’m going for a smudge-y look. 😀 Black gold is so pretty, I think you’ll really like it!
Have you tried her liner in Stormy Gray, Sara? It’s my favorite LM eye pencil.
I wrote about black gold in another comment on an earlier post..The eyeshadow I mentioned is black karat,its fab with this..waiting for your review..
Yeah, I just saw that color online. I’m kind of lusting after it now. I’m wearing the liner as I type this and will hopefully have the review up by the end of the week! Sometimes I wish I had more eyes so I could try out more stuff, LOL!
Oooooh how close is this to Powersurge? The headband looks hot! Can’t wait for your reviews doll!
LOL, I think that’s the reason why I wanted it. LOVE Powersurge. It’s like a blackened, golden version of it…not as bronzy, if that makes any sense.
This was my question as well! Lucky to know it’s not an exact dupe
Gotta love Sephora! I think I will be checking out the Laura Mercier line next time I’m in there, which hopefully will be at some point this week or next week. Stormy Gray sounds like a color I’d get just based on the name, haha. I have to set price limits on myself otherwise I’d come out of there with $500 of stuff easily (it would be nice to have that much money free to spend just in Sephora!).
Hi Katherine,
It’s one of my fave things from the line! I reviewed it a while back; here’s a swatch:

I have to set limits on myself when I walk into Sephora, too. My trick is to NEVER, EVER get one of the little baskets, because I’ll be tempted to fill that bad boy right up. If I can’t carry it out in my out with my hands, then I can’t buy it, LOL!
dont know laura Mercier products but it looks nice. If I could I would bring my Beauty with me by shopping ( my dog) But i doubt he will stay in one place like those 2 beauties. He is too curious
I would love to take Tabs with me! He’d charm everyone, I’m sure, if he could just chill out.
I have Black Gold – it was part of a Sephora perk – but unfortunately it smudges / migrates on me pretty badly. It’s a pity, because it’s so pretty!
I kind of like that about it — it’s sorta rock star!
I have the eyeliner and the headband! I really like both, and I like to use the black gold eyeliner with the black karat eyeshadow. My favorite color of her eyeliner, though, is black turquoise. So pretty! I had picked up the set of 5 LM eyeliners from a sale on Gilt Group. It came with black gold, black amethyst, black turquoise, stormy gray, and brown copper.
Lucky you! I was looking at all of those shades the other day and wnated them all.
Which Sephora do you go to? Is it the one at Valley Fair, because the interior looks EXACTLY like mine!
I wish I got to see dogs when I go to Sephora! They look so cute just hanging out there. That eyeliner is gorgeous, and I’m curious to see what the headband looks like on!
AHH gorgeous photos. You’re seriously making me want to invest in a DSLR with every new post you publish.
I had the ysl water. Smells divine and felt very refreshing. I liked it…..
Aaah retail therapy. Heals all wounds 😉 And it’s still cheaper than going to a doctor, probably!
I tried the YSL Micellar Water! I got a deluxe sample of it a while back. It’s really gentle, and it won’t take off a smoky eye, but I love using it after I wash my face to get rid of the remaining mascara and eyeliner on my eyes because it doesn’t leave an oily film behind like the Lancome Bifacil.
I have the chain headband! I needed to make 50 bucks for free ship one time and bought it. It kinda hurts my head. 😀
OMG I want to take my dog to Sephora! 😮 Do they really allow that?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the eye pencil, I love Laura Mercier!
