Nars Orgasm/Laguna Blush/Brozer Duo

I saw this when I was watching fafinettex3's April Faves. I thought it looked so pretty and was looking for a really great bronzer.

So, I went to Sephora and had one of the girls test it out on me. I totally fell in love! The sales girl was a little heavy handed with the brush so it looked a little cakey in natural lighting, but when I brought it home to try for myself, I found it a lot less cakey. Fantastic!

Here's what it looks like:


Now, Aubrey from fafinettex3 is fairly darker than I am. So before I made this purchase, I really had to try it out. The blush gives you a perfect hint of pink and the bronzer totally slims the face down! I was really worried because it looked SO pink and SO brown, but was happy to find that they blend very well into the skin.

I tried this out on my friend who has even fairer skin than I, and she loved it so much that she went out to buy it the very week!

I think you'll find that it's very impressive and a great investment :).

Love Always,
Me

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine

When I was in Beverly Hills, I got a little caught up in all the luxury of Rodeo Drive. So when I wandered into Chanel and saw the cosmetics counter, swatching became a must!

This is Chanel's Rouge Coco Shine in Monte Carlo:

I'll be honest, the packaging (how cute is that Chanel monogram!) and the name of the lipstick was a lot of the appeal for me. I really wanted to get my normal peach/pink/coral color, but this berry shade was calling my name!

Here's a swatch:

As you can see, it's relatively sheer. At first I felt like that was a bit of a failure on their part since the lipstick was so expensive, but I bought it anyway because I really hate red lipsticks that are mega-pigmented.

Over all, this lipstick is SUPREME. You really get what you pay for because the formula is just amazing. It gives your lips an amazing shine without any lipgloss and is VERY moisturizing. The color? VERY long lasting. I dabbed a little on 5 hours ago, and after coffee, gum, and eating lunch, there is still a red tint on my lips with no reapplication. THAT to me is AMAZING.

Love Always,
Me
