What are you lemming for?

I've been salivating over two items for the longest time. 


I have still not taken the plunge to buy them, but I will definitely be very happy when I get my hands on these beautiful things:




Laura Mercier Eye Design in Black Ebony
$75

SAD PART? Only Mahogany Brown is available on the Laura Mercier website, and this set can't be bought at Sephora anymore. =( The set is exclusive in those two websites as far as I can tell, and I've asked around local LM counters and the SA's haven't even heard of it. The reason I still don't have this is because aside from the fact it's a whopping $75 I still have to pay for taxes and shipping! But seriously, this has been giving me obsession nightmares. Haha!
Intense and lustrous, this dewy cream eyeshadow transforms into powder that creates a glaze of brilliant, shimmery color. Crease-resistant. Long-wearing. Color looks brilliant alone or in combination.

SAD PART? It's expensive here in Manila! It costs PhP 1, 850 at Shiseido Counters! Even at 25% off I am having a hard time forking out cash for such a small pot! But I really love the color, it's ridiculous since I have a lot of dupes already.

I'm curious... What are your lemmings?



Cheers,
Trace

  3. I actually forked over the cash for 2 of those hydro powder things. I thought I was going to faint when I was counting out the bills for two little pots. Ugh. I'll post about them this week! XD
