Chanel Blush Duo Tweed Effect in Tweed Corail

This blush is divinely gorgeous<3333 It's a beautiful rosey peach blush with a silky smooth texture. It has a gorgeous glow to it- it's not frosty or glittery and really has no visible shimmer in it. When you first use it, there's the tiniest amount of golden over-spray but that goes away literally after the first use. The Chanel "Les Tissages" blushes are stamped into a design which is supposed to resemble the texture of Chanel's classic tweed suits. This color is perfect for those that like subtle colors- it's called a coral, but to me it's a peach. I really like it. It's something I would wear year round, but I know a lot of Chanel fans would probably tend to wear this mostly during Spring. I just like the fact that it's not so deep and overly pigmented like so many other blushes I own. Like Coco always said- makeup should be used to enhance, not adorn :] I'm sure there are many other peach blushes out there for much less than $50, but this blush is just so pretty and versatile and although quite delicate, I feel as though "Tweed Corail" has a lot to say.

MAKEUP FOREVER's Rouge Artist Intense #22

MAKEUP FOREVER launched their Rouge Artist Intense line last year... I think it's an AMAZING line- the lipsticks are SO pigmented, and there are SOOOOOO many colors to choose from. And I love the textures- they have matte, satin, and pearl, so there's literally a lipstick for everyone in this line :] OF COURSE I go straight for the nudes (I only wear nudes). #22 is THE PRETTIEST nude lipstick I've seen in a LONG time, and it's currently my absolute FAVORITE!!!! It's a satin flesh-toned nude. It's got some warm peachy undertones but warm and cool-toned people can wear this color easily. #22 is a satin, and LET ME TELL YOU- MUFE's satins are soooooo much better than MAC's satin's. This stuff is smooth but not slippery, and it's super-pigmented without being drying or chalky. It's so moisturizing that it feels like lip balm :] I feel like if Brigitte Bardot had to pick a lipstick from this line, she'd pick #22 :] If you want a cheaper dupe, I'd recommend MAC's Creme d'Nude or Revlon's Soft Nude. Seriously though, next time you're in Sephora, check these babies out and give em a swatch or two. You'll probably love them!!! I'm definitely going back for more, whether I need them or not :]

MAC's Electric Eel Eyeshadow: A Vibrant Turquoise

Electric Eel is one of MAC's brighter, much more unique colors. I remember when I first bought this shadow a long time ago... I walked up to the MAC counter at my Nordstrom and this stuff was literally SCREAMING out me from the eyeshadow display. It's a gorgeous turquoise, it's supposed to be a Satin but I think it's a lot more of a Matte. It looks super bright and almost neon in the pan, but once you get it onto your eyelid, it's more of a basic jewel blue tone. It shows up darker once you put it on with your base and blend it out. I admit, Electric Eel is kind of chalky and hard to work with, but the color is just so vibrant and gorgeous that I still love it :] I used to wear this with other bright colors like Chrome Yellow and Bitter when I was into the whole bright crazy neon look. If you like this color but aren't into extreme looks, I think it'd be nice to have a neutral brown/bronze eye and just put a little bit of Electric Eel onto the bottom lashline for a nice pop of color. Bronze and Turquoise are SOOOO gorgeous together!!! I also like to wear this stuff with Contrast or Carbon in the crease for a nice blue smokey eye. It's not really a color for those who love neutral subdued looks, but it's really nice to have just for fun :] This is probably not a very "wearable" color by the standards of most makeup wearers, but there are lots of us who like these really bright unique colors<33333

MAC Satin Taupe Eyeshadow: The Perfect Shimmery Neutral

Satin Taupe is a gorgeous shimmery neutral brown-ish taupe that should be in everyone's makeup collection. It looks nice swept all over the lid from lash-line to crease, and works well as a base color in a smokey eye combination with shroom in the inner corners and Carbon in the crease. If you're running late or don't want to spend too much time doing your makeup, you can just sweep this all over and it gives the eyelids such a nice dimension :] If you're looking for a pretty shimmery neutral brown, I totally recommend checking out Satin Taupe next time your at a MAC store/counter. Do you love it? Or is it just another boring brown? Let me know!!

MAC MYTH. THE PERFECT NUDE?

I have always been on the hunt for the perfect nude lipstick. I wear a dramatic smokey eye every night, so of course I need a very neutral lip that will help balance out my face when I have a lot going on with my eyes. I always wanted a peachy beige tone that would nude out the pigmentation in my own lips, without looking too much like concealer. I've literally purchased dozens of nude lipsticks, if not hundreds. Although I don't think Myth is the PERFECT nude for me, I do absolutely LOVE this color and use it very often. Myth is described as a "pale, flesh-toned slightly peach-pink tinged nude." That being said, I am not pale. When I wear this color on it's own, I look dead, or very cold. That's usually not the look I'm going for, so I usually wear another nude lipstick a shade or two darker underneath of Myth. Then, I put a nude gloss over this :] Myth is a gorgeous lipstick with a satin finish, and happens to be very pigmented. It can show up as opaque on your lips with very little effort, that's probably one of the reason why I love it so much. And it shows up great in photos :] You can pile it on for a dramatically pale nude lip, or wear it with other lippies to neutralize them a bit. If you aren't eating or drinking, it stays on for about 4 or 5 hours, which makes me happy. So, has anyone else tried Myth? Or use it on a daily basis? Let me know what you think about it :]
