Chanel Les 4 Ombres in 41 Fascination Review



It's been a while since I shared any eye makeup updates. Following the great Mystere (43) purchase, I decided to expand my collection of Chanel quads and got something that is on the grey and blue side. Blues and greys make a great combination and it's something I wear on a regular basis (no vibrant blues) other than browns and taupes.

Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet Foundation in 10 Beige Review



Strangely, I've actually never used a Chanel foundation before. I've receive generous samples and all but I was never really motivated to go back and purchase a whole bottle. I heard a lot of good things about the Vitalumiere Aqua but was always hesitant about the coverage and lasting power on combination skin, especially during the summer. Over the past 3 months, I've experienced a change in base makeup philosophy. Sheerer items that serve the purpose of evening out skin tones have become a staple. When Chanel released a matte alternative, I immediately got myself a bottle of the new Perfection Lumiere Velvet when it became available in stores.

Beat the Cold: Best Winter Skincare || Facials


I think winter skin might be one of the biggest beauty problems that I have to deal with. Especially when that time of the month brings about breakouts and the healing process leads to unfortunate redness and worst of all, flakiness. Over the years, I have narrowed my winter skincare items into 6 general must-have categories.

Chanel Les 4 Ombres in 43 Mystere Review



It's been a while since I bought an eyeshadow palette from Chanel. I have to say that the formulation got less chalky and the darker palettes are a bit more pigmented. I've been shopping around for a while, looking for the perfect modern smokey eye palette and came across this one unexpectedly. The Mystere is this fall's limited edition palette and it builds a lovely smokey eye with deep mossy greens and natural taupes.

Chanel CC Cream Review: Is It Worth the Hype?



This item has received a lot of attention long before its launch. It presented itself as something better than all the BB creams and also at a very high price for this product category. So is it really worth it?

Poudre Signee De Chanel Illuminating Powder Review: My Favorite Powder Highlighter

Sometimes you just hate limited editions because it's impossible to get hold of any when you feel like it. This particular one is pretty worth the frustration though. I just don't know where I'll be able to get another one once I run out. The optimistic approach is to believe that someone will come out with an even better one in the near future.

Stick Concealers Review: Touch Up On the Go


I was a big fan of stick concealer for years due to my super high paced life. Now that things have mellowed down a little, I gave them a rest but I still carry one in my bag at all times. They are perfect for touch ups on the go due to their slim packaging, light weight and mess free formula. You simply can't mess up with these.

My Top 3 Red Lipsticks

Courtesy of Bing
I tend to fall in the extremes in terms of lipstick colors. Either I'll be wearing some lovely nudes or I'll be sporting a very daring color. Every girl needs at least one good red lipstick. I believe it is one of those simple things that can drastically transform your look. No other lip color is as feminine and sexy as a red lipstick for it brings out the femme fatale in you.
