Oh CHANEL, you’ve done it again. You released a stunning dark purple polish for Spring 2016, and now for Summer 2016, it’s khaki greens, with tones of orange and gold. Unexpected but oh so welcome! CHANEL’s Summer 2016 makeup collection is called Dans La Lumière de l’Été, which means approximately “in the light of summer”, which…
Chanel LA Sunrise Collection for spring 2016 is breathtaking. The colours absolutely pop without being jarring or bold. From their website: Discover a colour collection that reveals the vibrant mood of an endless Los Angeles summer. Flashes of purple, teal and green capture the city’s carefree spirit, while a dreamy spectrum of pink, coral and…
I recently had a hankering for a dark navy blue polish with shimmer – yes, my hankerings are *that* specific. An,d while I love Chanel Blue Satin, it somehow felt too dark for summer. It’s a rather awesome “too blue to be black, too black to be blue” shade and I love it, but I…
Sometimes all it takes is a little beauty treat to lift our spirits and make us feel pampered. And lifted spirits and pampering are good things. Taking time to treat ourselves, or someone we love, or even better, treating ourselves and someone we love together, is an important part of feeding our souls. It can…
Oh, the siren call of the perfume counter. I just love to wander the department store cosmetic floor, playing with the newest perfume and beauty releases. I take my time, sniff this, try that, and often fall in love. The new, the old, the classic and the modern. I have tried two lately that are calling…
Oh Chanel. Their Spring 2015 makeup has a nail polish trio that sang to me. It sang “BUY MEEEEE”! With the gorgeous plum pink fuschia Desiro, the frosty silvery sea foam green Paradiso and the dusty mauve-y purple Tenderly, these were all must-haves for me. How pretty is Chanel Tenderly? It’s in my Currently Loving…
Chanel’s Summer 2014 makeup collection, Reflets d’Ete, is chock full of gorgeous brights. Bright and vivid, and almost reminiscent of the eighties. Especially the purple mascara, Chanel Inimitable Waterproof Mascara Violet Touch. There was an orange mascara as well, which I passed on. Hard to imagine orange mascara being flattering on anyone other than a Chanel model….
I have a foot thing. I want them to be pretty and/or groomed. That’s all. It’s not hard to do, and the rest of the world will thank you. There is no need to be uber high maintenace – trust me, for a beauty obsessive, I am probably the laziest around. It’s not about the…
Holy moly. I have found my radiance holy grails, and it’s no surprise they are from Chanel *clouds part* and Bobbi Brown *cue angels chorus*. Chanel Le Blanc de Chanel is an “illuminating base”, designed primarily as a primer, with the added benefit of adding a glow. It is silicone free, but does have some…
Oh, Chanel. And oh, Ommorphia (she’s a horrible/woderful enabler). I blame the two of them for making me get Chanel’s latest and most beautiful red nail polish, Rouge Rubis, from the Collection Nuit Infini de Chanel 2103. I have several red nail polishes, and while they might be similar, they are not the same. Really. I…
