Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush #55 "In Love"

My first Chanel blush.

Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush #55 "In Love".

Blushes are one of my favourite make up. That's why I decided to upgrade it ! Now I have 3 blushes that I really like to use. This one, then one from MAC and my old one from Jill Stuart.

The quality of the packaging is amazing. It felt precious and special to me.

I would describe the colour as subtle and natural. A rose-peachy shade with a little bit of shimmer.  The brush is quite small so you can apply the colour very exactly. Oh it smells of roses ! So nice  

You can get some but not all colours at Yesstyle too.

  Compact and silky texture

  Offers effects from very natural to very sophisticated  

  A simple touch of colour gives your complexion a healthy glow 

  Allows you to shape your face, by emphasizing contours (cheekbones, browbones, forehead, chin, along the nose)

How to use: 

Use the integrated brush to apply a highlighting touch of JOUES CONTRASTE to cheekbones or accentuate the structure of the face. 

I'm happy with the result and in love haha  

Yumeko’s Weekly Photo Challenge #9 – All Star Makeup Edition

Reading other bloggers favourites was interesting for me since I could see a lot of great products in one post. So this time I wanted to join Yumekos weekly challenge. ┗(＾0＾)┓

1. The Super Star. Something you have used for over a year and will still using

• Urban Decay Naked Palette 1 
• Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Hydrating Makeup SPF 10 in 010 Ivory

I like gold/champagne/neutral eyeshadows so this palette was perfect for me! Maybe I should buy the second palette too?

This Dior foundation is just amazing! It makes my skin look soft and it does a great job with covering freckles. I usually use this in summer because in winter it is too drying for my skin.


2. The Fast Rising Star. Something you have used for over 6 months and will still be using

• L'Oreal Caresse Lipstick in Dating Coral
• MAC Blush in Pinch O'Peach
• MAC Blot Powder Pressed in Medium

• NYX Auto eyebrow pencil in brown

It works great on my eyebrows and stays all day. I can easily blend out the colour with the brush.

3. The Number 1 Draft Pick. Something you just started using and am loving it.

• Chanel Eclat Lumière Highlighter Face Pen in Beige Rosé

It's great for concealing my dark circles. I also use this as a highlighter sometimes when I feel to do the extra job. The packaging is of course great and very sturdy.
Btw. this is my first Chanel make up item I ever bought. It was by coincidence because it was on a mad sale... so I felt guilty not buying it...well! (ＴｪＴ)

4. The FAIL. Something you tried recently and does not work for you.

• Catrice Powder Blush
• Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream

The blush doesn't give much colour on me and doesn't stay long. The Garnier BB cream makes my face very oily. Also its smell won't go away even after hours. I just hate this  lol

5. The Experiment. Something you bought and am going to try next.

• Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush 55 In Love

Got this with a sale of 25%. But it's expensive nevertheless. I was in love with it the first time I saw it! Amazing colour and the smell... it smells of roses!! （＠￣∇￣＠）

NARS Orgasm Illuminator review

This is a little review about one of my favorite products (*´Д`*)!

The NARS Illuminator comes in a plastic tube. It's very easy to handle and doesn't become scummy easily. As you don't need a lot of it I guess it will last me a while (´∀`) ♪

The colour is just gorgeous...

Without flash:

The Illuminator smells like fresh citrus. So I like it<3!! It's not a bit harsh!

Also its formular is lightweight and gives you kind of a fresh kick. I really like that (^-^)#

Your face will gain a luminous but very natural and healthy glow. But the best thing of this product is that you can use it in many ways.
It says on the packaging that you can use it for highlighting, mixing with the foundation (...) and you can apply it on cheeks/neck/whole face etc.

Lastly I wish you all a very nice and happy Valentine's Day! (´・ω・`)
