Collection Révélation de Chanel

Collection Révélation de Chanel - campaign visual

Also known as "the Chanel collection that features the newest and most waited-for Chanel nail varnish on this side of 2013, Taboo", for all of those who have been asking me, the latest Chanel collection reveals the multiple facets of the Lèvres Scintellantes gloss.  Today, people!

There are three Chanel collections featuring lip products from Chanel this year, the one featured in this post (detailing new and LE Lèvres Scintellantes), the previous one (Collection Avant-Première de Chanel (see here), which introduced new Rouge Coco and Rouge Coco shine options) and one yet to come (Rouge Allure... watch this space!)

 

Trend colours: Corals

Coral-based shades are so summer-typical, they're usually the one shade I ignore the hell out of, roll my eyes, and wait for summer to be over so we can get back to more dramatic colours.  But this year, for some reason, I'm just loving them.  Probably because coral is ev-ery-where - do a google search for "coral trend 2013" and you'll see it.  Stir-in some rare great weather of late (possibly prompting my latest obsession) and you have a recipe for a summer trend-based post.

There are some really beautiful coral shades out this summer, and some really unusual takes on what constitutes coral.  Bear with me - I am not just talking namby-pamby peach-toned orangey corals;  I've moved on from NARS Orgasm (and its myriad of dupes - although this does feature in my corals collection).  I'm talking corals on a base of pink, or gold, or even yellow, or with a flash of a red undertone, or even a tangerine-apricot-shot-through-with-fuchsia.  Either way, I'm loving 'em.

Warning: image-heavy post.

*sighs*.  I'm in looooooooove with this colour (watch out for a coral-based trend post in the next few days).

An absolute steal at just less than €2.50 each(!), essence's summer makeup collection, called guerilla gardening, features two "eyebrow mascaras", or brow sets.

How I... store my pigments

Messy things, pigments.  Seriously messy.  Especially when you buy an expensive, limited edition, hard-to-get, now discontinued, highly pigmented stupidly opaque crazily hot pink one.  And spill it all over your mother's brand new cream carpet.  Not that I *ever* did that, of course.  So how do I store 'em?
