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  

ZOYA nail polish in "Cheri"

Finally I made a post for one of my favourite nail polishes. 

Zoya nail polish in "Cheri". I wore this all week with a thin top coat from OPI. It has an amazing liability.

The colour is a rich rose-mauve with warm red undertones and strong golden shimmer. A comforting rose shade that's especially suited for autumn. It compliments my skin tone better than pure red.

It's a gift from Sooyoona.  

I'm quite happy with this!  

Sweet Inspiration

I went to Neo Tokyo a while ago to check the store (once a while I have to haha ).  

Neo Tokyo is a japanese manga/merchandise/music/dvd store located in Munich and Berlin in Germany. 

I picked up some Sweet magazines but never came up to post them. Sweet is one of my favourite magazines. They feature so many cute styles  

My very first Cher bag!

I will scan some lovely pages from these for future reference!  

CLARINS Colour Quench Lip Balm #07 strawberry sorbet

First lip gloss in years! 



There are two reasons why I avoided lip glosses... I hated the sticky feeling and it's complicated to use. I tried some in the past though. One from Candydoll and a few from Canmake. 

None of them convinced me in the long run.  

But since I've moved to a new place I found a huge drugstore which offers make up items from Clarins. You can also get these Colour Quench Lip Balms through Yesstyle. I wanted to try them because of their simple and nice packaging.

Also I can feel I've changed as well. So I'm ready for lip gloss lol

I got my Clarins Colour Quench Lip Balm in #07 strawberry sorbet

From Clarins:

Ingrediens: Extracts of Shea Butter, Wild Mango and Olive perhydrosqualene leave lips supple and well-moisturized. Derivatives of Vitamins A and E reinforce the repairing action and protect against free radicals.

How to apply: For glossy, luscious lips, apply Colour Quench Lip Balm with the Lip Brush either alone or over lipstick in a luminous touch in the middle of the lips.

 

Just the luscious lips to be kissed!

L'OCCITANE Haul

In the past I wasn't so fond of this brand... I dunno why now...because they have amazing stuff!!

My little haul:

Btw. the shopping bag from L'Occitane is very beautiful. The colours and the motive.. so inspiring! *love*

Rose 4 Reines Bath Soap
It smells truly full of roses! The packaging is easy and nice too. Hadn't the chance to try them yet but I will tell you if they are as nice as they smell (*-`ω´- )

Rose 4 Reines Velvet Hand Cream

Since I love scent of roses in lotions this one is just the right for me. I prefer these lotions over perfumes because the scent of perfumes are often too strong for me. 

The smell of this little handcream is just amazing! AND it lasts like forever!! （＾Ｏ＾☆♪

I also enjoy the pink, wine and gold themed packaging.

I received this Pivoine Flora Shower Gel as a gift with my purchase. Horraay who doesn't love gifts right?^^

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!! （＠￣∇￣＠）

Vintage Minnie Mouse by OPI

This nail set from OPI reminds me of Disneyland. I love it! The packaging is so cute... I love Vintage Minnie! Aw she is so cute (*≧▽≦) I eyed this set a while when it came out. But it was sold out so fast...( ꒪Д꒪)ノ But luckily my fav store got it back and they even had a sale of 25%!

The bottles out of the box. My fav nail colour is red. Second pink. So this set is kinda perfect for me!

The bottle is so tiny compared to the original size! But I figured I could stil get my favourite in original size if I want.

The Colour of Minnie. It's a red-pink toned shade.

In other news I got my hair cut shorter in May (for summer). I love my shorter hair so much! Today I cut myself bangs again after being without bangs for couple of months. I feel it's much more neat this way. What do you think?

Since I got shorter hair I use much more hair accessories than before. I got this one from H&M for 2,95 Euros.
