Chanel and Mac Goodies.....

Last week, I went to the mall because my YSL powder was finishing. Even though I still love my YSL powder, I was thinking of trying the Chanel one because I wanted to know if it lived up to the hype. Well, I went in for powder but I actually came out with much more.

These are all the goodies that I picked up. I got the Chanel poudre universelle compact, the triumphant blush from new Mac collection and a lipgloss duo set from Chanel. 

I just love the packaging from the new Mac collection. I am looking into getting some more stuff from this collection, especially the sets.

These are the blush swatches. The first is the bronzer, called smooth harmony, which I use as a contour and the other two are blushes. Melba is in the middle and then it's peachtwist.

These are the lipgloss swatches which also came with a lipliner.

I think I would have to say that Chanel lipglosses are one of the best I have tried. They are very creamy and smooth.

As far as the powder goes, which was the basis of my shopping, I am still trying it out. As far as it compared to the YSL one, this one has a little less coverage. They both have similar finishes. So the main difference would be the coverage, except Chanel does have a powder similar to the YSL one, in terms of coverage. So, we'll see if the Chanel powder does live up to the hype or not. 

Until next time....

Philosophy Purity Facial Cleanser: A Review

This is by far the bestttt facial cleanser that I have used. It has a creamy, milky consistency that does not foam.*
 *This is the main reason why I love this cleanser. If you like some serious foaming action then you would most likely be interested in their foaming version of this cleanser.

After washing my face with this cleanser, it does not dry out my skin which is perfect for me in the winter time, because it tends to be a bit more drier than to my liking.

I use this cleanser daily with clarisonic mia.

What I came home to.....

After a long day of accompanying my niece for the Barnard open house, I was just ready to hit the sack.....but little did I know that I would be coming home to a bag full of treats...

Oh boy, do I love surprises...

The person who knows me the best in the world (My husband) surprised me with a treat from my favorite store. (Didn't I tell you he knew me the best. lol) My sisters had needed to go to Sephora and he took them and so while he was there, he told my youngest sister, that he wanted to get my something. Awwww!!!

All the Goodies!!!!!!!!

He got me a new foundation, because he actually remembered when I was ranting that foundations finish so quickly and it was time for me to get a new one. Luckily, I never tried this one, so I love trying new things.

P.S. Review coming up soon..... Initial thoughts: LOVE!!!!!!

This is a three piece tarte cheek stain that I absolutely adore!!!

Mini Miss Dior Cherie perfume- 100 points bonus

It has to be said that I am in LOVE with everything about this perfume.

Full sized bottle will definitely be purchased in the near future.

The ring that came with the three piece tarte cheek stain. I think it is so pretty.

I was definitely a happy camper when I came home....and was definitely an even more happy camper today because I place an order with Sephora!!!! I got my beloved shampoo, Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage concealer, and a Clarins moisturizer. I will be almost out of my YSL matt touch powder, which means a new powder is on my list of things to boy. Oh gee, how that list will never finish is beyond me....However, next on my list is Chanel powder and that's why I didntt get powder from Sephora, although I did want to try Givenchy Matissme or Dior Nude powder. Oh well, we'll see which one I'll choose.

Until next time....And I am deeply sorry for the delay in posting... regular posting shall be resumed from now on..Promise!!!!

Inspired by Chanel

This is a look I did using my new Chanel "enigma" quad. Hope you guys like it.

Playing with Plums...

I was inspired today to play with plums and brown eyeshadows. Since fall is coming, I really love incorporating warm shades in my looks. I used my Stila "pretty in paris" palette for this look.

Chanel "les contrastes de chanel" eyeshadow quad.

The other day, after contemplating whether or not I should buy it, I finally took the plunge and bought the new Chanel quad from the "les contrastes de chanel" fall 2010 collection (And I have aboslutely no regrets). This quad is absolutely GORGEOUS. The colors are so me. I especially love the light pink highlight color and the dark plum-grayish color. The colors are pigmented and they are extremely soft. This is my first chanel quad but definitely not the last. Seeing at the quality of their shadows is definitely making mewant more.
