My ode to Chanel Eclats du Soir Holiday Collection

Just had a Chanel kick going on today, so I thought I'd show you all what I wore featuring the new releases from the brand.

Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick in L'Impatiente

L'Impatiente is described as a "deep red black" shade that is limited edition for Chanel's Holiday collection. I am all for vampy colors for fall and winter and I am so glad I got around to being confident with them. I used to go for nude lips everyday, but now I totally abandon all my nude lipsticks! Vampy lipsticks are just so much more adventurous and fun, don't you think?


Chanel Harmonie Du Soir Eyeshadow Quad

Harmonie du Soir is described as a "limited-edition, holiday-inspired quartet offers endless looks of festive glamour. Deep, dense bronze-gold with a radiant sheen complements colours from violet-plum red to smoky taupe to pink."


Chanel Le Vernis in Malice (nail polish)

I've always been hesitant in purchasing high end nail polish. This is because I have never finished a bottle (besides base and top coats) and they get old and hard to work with after some time, while makeup can still last beyond its marketed timeline as long as you store and sanitize it properly.

And guess who gave in.


Chanel Holiday 2012: Eclats du Soir de Chanel (my picks)

Long time no blog, my readers!

Before I go ahead with my series of reviews, I just wanted to show you a sneak peek of my picks from the new Holiday collection from Chanel. This year's Chanel Holiday collection is called Eclats du Soir de Chanel and the brand is really incorporating the trends for this fall and winter, as well as festive holiday shades.

From the website, Chanel describes the collection as "A resplendent makeup collection sets holiday beauty aglow. Gold and bronze shade harmonies dust eyes with festive shimmer, while soft beige, pinks, and deep reds illuminate the face, lips and nails with elegance."


I already showed this photo on my Instagram, but here are my picks:
  • Le Vernis in Malice (nail polish)
  • Regarde Signé de Chanel in Harmonie du Soir (eyeshadow quad)
  • Rouge Allure Velvet in L'Impatiente (lipstick)
  • Glossimer in Mystery (lipgloss)

Stay tuned for my review. Doing lots of work tonight. eek. Wish me luck!

Guerlain Orgueil Rouge G L'Extrait

I have been meaning to try Guerlain lip products in ages and never got around to them until now because when it comes to choosing a color, I'm really indecisive. Unlike MAC, there aren't a lot of bloggers out there that I know who review or swatch high end products like this. It can get a bit overwhelming. Whereas with MAC, you can pretty much Google swatches of any lipstick they have in their permanent and limited lines. 

Anyways, some of you may already know that I am obsessing over vampy and red lipsticks for fall. If you all didn't know yet, MAC Media lipstick and Currant lipliner are my favorites to create that my go-to vampy lip for fall; I also love a lot of the red lipsticks I have been accumulating over the past year.

But I am so excited to show you all something that is probably starting to kick my favorite fall lip combo off the #1 spot!

MAC Small Vanity Blush - Glamour Daze Collection

Small Vanity Blush is a satin finish blush described as a "dusty rose tan". I know I purchased all three blushes from the Glamour Daze color collection, but this was the only blush that I was interested in and I felt I could get the most use out of.
