CHANEL Pop-up beauty store

Chanel's pop-up store, Covent Garden, London

Opens Today!!

If your a huge CHANEL lover like me then you will be just as excited as I was when I heard Chanel were opening a pop-up beauty store in London. 

With over 50 sq meters devoted to Chanel'd beauty products in every shade imaginable the store also includes Chanel's first ever nail bar. 

The store also offers a full makeup consultation for 25 pounds. You can get that money back if you purchase a product!  

I am so excited about Chanel's pop-up store, I wish I could visit it right now! It will definatly be on my "to do" list next time I go to London! (sooooon I hope!) 

Revlon "Just Bitten Kissable"

I just purchased Revlon's new "Just Bitten Kissable Balm stain"... and let me just tell you I am in LOVE! It is such an amazing product.

The packaging is very similar to Cliniques "Chubby Stick." Personally I am not a huge fan of the Chubby sticks from Clinique. I dont think they have that much color pay off and for the price of them I'm going to have to pass.. In comparison Revlon's Balm stain has much more color payoff. The formulation is what is says on the packaging, a balm stain, and it has a very long staying power! It feels soft and hydrating to the lips with a slight minty taste (which I really like). Overall I was very impressed with this product and I will be defiantly checking out their other colors! I purchased the color Lovesick. Its is a hot pink/slightly raspberry color and is so amazing! It adds the most amazing pop of color to your lips and makes your lips by far the standout feature of your face.

I swatched it on my hand, but the color payoff is so much more pigmented on the lips!

Bobbie Brown blusher- "BLUSHED"

I have been in search for a new blusher lately and on a recent trip to the Bobbi Brown counter I picked up a beautiful blusher called no.10 "BLUSHED" It comes in a sleek, flip top compact. 



                              



I would describe this powder blush as a muted dark, rosy color. Bobbie Brown calles this a "reddish pinky brown." In the pot there is some untrafine shimmer but hardly noticeable on the skin. So the blush in my opinion ha more of a matte finish. This blush gives me a healthy glow, and a natural looking flush. 


I would apply this blush to the apples of my cheeks and using my blush brush blend the color into the hairline, then downwards to soften the color.

NAIL'D IT!

Pretty in Purple with ESSIE'S "BANGLE JANGLE"

I've always loved the color purple, but on my nails? I wasn't so sure because I had never found a purple polish that I really loved, until I tried Essie's "Bangle Jangle" in the nail salon 2 months ago..I loved it so much the next day I went out and bought it for myself!

Bangle Jangle is actually part of Essie's Winter 2011 collection... so it may seem that im a little late on the band wagon, but when I discovered this color winter or summer I was going to wear it!

"Bangle Jangle" is a dusty lilac creme. The formula applies really well (as I find all Essie nail polishes do!) I only needed to apply 2 coats, along with my clear top coat for the perfect color!

         

Why not try and add a little sparkle to your nails like I did by applying a clear sparkle nail polish on top of BANGLE JANGLE on just one nail!

MAC REEL SEXY COLLECTION

The MAC "Reel Sexy" collection launched in May 2012 and I have been obsessed with it ever since! What caught my eye most was their collection of 4 lipsticks, and let me just say the colors are amazing! It is a mix between corals, lilacs and purple. So cute, so fun so summer!

• REEL SEXY- light, bright coral (amplified)
• WATCH ME SIMMER- bright pink/orange (amplified) (re-promoted)
• PINK POPCORN- lavender (luster)
• HEROINE- bright purple/plum (matte) 

Lipstick Swatches 

Pink Popcorn, Reel Sexy, Watch me Simmer, Heroine

My personal favorite color of the collection is "REEL SEXY". It is a peachy/orange color with a hint of coral. It has an amplified finish and great color pay-off! It is such a summery color and gives such a nice pop of color to your face when wearing it! 

                                   

Here is the color "Reel Sexy" on my lips straight from the tube. it Also
looks great with gloss over it too!
