Chanel for Fall…

Posted on by

photo 1Hello dolls! Chanel’s Fall Make-up Collection is here and I already have my favorites. Today I will review two lip colors and their new eyeliner. Let’s start!

photo(1)This is the new Stylo Eye-Liner from Chanel in Brun. Very easy to use. Great dark chocolate color which makes it more wearable during the day if you want a more natural look. photo 3

With this “stylo” you can make the line as thick or as thin as you want. It dries fast and it stays on but I was able to fix a mistake with a Q-tip and water…that said when it was time to take it all off, it came off with water but not completely, so I had to use make-up remover.

photo 2Let’s move on to my favorite part. Lip color!!! These are two of the new Rouge Coco Shine shades. #94 Confident which is a light/plum/lilac that leaves a sheer plum tint on your lips. Then we have the darkest shade which is #96 Aura. Gorgeous dark plum/purple tint.

I am not wearing any type of coverage in this pictures so sorry for my “mustache” looking dark spot (upper lip) I get it every summer and then it goes away. I’ll get into that on another post. Anyway I must say that these lipsticks feel amazing on my lips. They are so moisturizing and my lips feel soft and plumped. They are as long lasting as a lip balm can be, but…They do leave a nice color stain when the balm is gone and I personally like that.

So far this is a very nice collection. check it out at http://www.chanel.com

My Fave Finds This Summer!

Hello peeps!

I’ve been MIA for a while but I’m back!  I was for a whole month in magical Ibiza. Jelly yet??? It was so much fun and relaxing: family, beach, food, Gin tonics…Ok i am going to stop hahaha. For this post I wanted to share with you three of my latest beauty finds =)

Let’s start with Gaudalie Huile Divine: Yes. it’s divine! This dry oil is packed with antioxidants from grapeseed as well as firming and moisturizing oils from argan, sesame, and hibiscus. It absorbs super fast leaving my skin soft and glowing. It has been a life saver after all these weeks under the sun. My skin was thirsty and needed something really hydrating. It says you can use it on your face and hair too…therefore it is a perfect multitasking oil to take on your next vacation. One more thing! It is free from parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. In Europe you can find this product/brand almost at any drug store/pharmacy. In the U.S you can find it at http://www.sephora.com and sephora stores.

Every summer I breakout! The combination of heat, humidity, and SPF creams are like a bomb for my skin. Two weeks ago my cheeks were full of mini pimples until I found La Roche-Posay EFFACLAR MAT. According to what it says on the tube, this is a sebo-regulating moisturizer, anti-shine, and anti-enlarged pores. You can wear it day and night. It has a matte finish so it is great for oily/combination skin. It really keeps your skin moisturized and I am breaking out less every day. My pores are definitely smaller and it is a great make-up base. This brand is very popular in Europe and their products are formulated for people with sensitive skin. They have no parabens or fragrances that can irritate the skin. I know I’ve seen this brand at Walgreens pharmacies if you live in the U.S. So far I am very pleased with the product, I am not sure it will be moisturizing enough during winter weather but I will keep you posted.

photo 4photo 5My everyday lipstick this summer was this Nars in Blonde Venus . Very natural shade, almost nude but it gives you a hint of color. It is in between glossy and matte. My lips feel soft and hydrated. Staying power…? I can give it a 6.5 out of 10. Great for everyday natural make-up or great to pair with a smokey eye at night. You can find this lipstick at department stores, http://www.sephora.com or http://www.nars.com.
