Laura Mercier’s new “Luxe Brush Set” for the holiday 2013 season is nothing short of amazing! This luxurious brush set not only has all the make-up brushes you need on a daily basis, it has a detachable case inside which leaves plenty of room for the using the case as a clutch! How perfect is that!!!

I absolutely adore the case. The deep chocolate brown color and faux stingray texture offers a beautiful classic look which can be worn for years. The case is a hard box, so it acts like a hard box clutch which makes it easy to wear casually, as shown above, or paired with a dress for evening occasions.

Since Laura Mercier’s Luxe Brush Set comes in a beautiful handbag/case, it is perfect for traveling! You can easily fit the brush set, jewelry and make-up inside the case when tucking it into your suitcase. When you arrive at your destination simply remove the brush set and it’s zipper case along with anything you stored inside for travel and voila! You have a beautiful clutch! Love it!

Laura Mercier’s Luxe Brush Set will make the perfect gift this holiday season; for a loved one or you! The Luxe brush Set by Laura Mercier is priced at $125 ( a $26 value!) and can be found online here and here.

Happy Holidays! xoxo Cathy

The Holidays are fast approaching and that means we need to start thinking about the perfect gifts for our loved ones! I always enjoy giving gifts which I feel the recipient would love. Since most women on this planet love hand cream, I will be giving the gift of soft and nourished hands to a few of my loved ones this Holiday season. Shhh, don’t tell them-it’s a surprise! 🙂

My favorite hand cream is by Laura Mercier. I have been using Laura Mercier’s “Crème Brulee” hand cream for close to ten years now, and my hands always thank me for it. Laura Mercier’s hand cream not only nourishes and repairs dry skin, it creates a barrier against the elements in order to help protect your hands from future abuse. Love that!

Before I do any housework, I always apply Laura Mercier’s hand cream. It keeps my hands safe from the effects of housecleaning chemicals which may seep into my gloves; and somehow Comet and water always find their way inside my gloves! Grrr. Thankfully Laura Mercier’s hand cream protects my hands from the chemicals and keeps them soft and free from dry skin. Love it!

If you have never tried Laura Mercier’s hand cream, or if you are already a fan like me, the hand cream sampler is the perfect gift to give to yourself this holiday season! Laura Mercier’s Hand Cream Sampler contains four purse sized hand cream’s in beautiful scents! The set contains “Crème de Pistache,” “Fresh Fig Honey,” “Almond Coconut Milk” and my favorite, “Crème Brulee!”

Laura Mercier’s Hand Cream Sampler is priced at a mere $28 (THIS IS A GREAT DEAL!!!) and can be found online here and here.
