Chanel Illusion D'ombre Eye Shadow E'Bluoi

In keeping with the Chanel theme , this is one of the much raved about Chanel Illusion D'ombre eyeshadows in E'bluoi that the boyfriend picked up for me a while ago. I have been meaning to write a post about this but never had the time. Since it's my birthday tomorrow, i'm planning to finally wear it. Perfect timing rite:)

It's a gorgeous brown shade with gold shimmer running through it, simply stunning. The consistency of this shadow is rather peculiar, it's a mousse with  a sponge like texture that glides on like a dream. You can use it as a base, a wash of colour all over the lids or even just to line the eyes. It does come with a mini brush for application if your in a pinch. 

I'm looking forward to seeing how this holds up against my oily lids, hopefully they last longer than the Mac paint pots on me * fingers crossed*

Have you tried these eye shadows? Thoughts?

Early Christmas Presents

Since i wouldn't be spending Christmas in Sydney this year with the boyfriend and his family, we had a pre-Christmas pressie opening, a day before i left for Malaysia. I had previously mentioned that i was lemming for some Chanel makeup and he was sweet enough to ask me to pick out a few items I wanted.  Boy was it hard!! but i finally decided on  a gorgeous blush and a lipstick to match. I have yet to use them, as I am waiting for my b'day i.e New Years Eve to slap them on *yay*

Rouge Coco 05 Mademoiselle

Powder Blush 82 Reflex

I will be away in Singapore during the Christmas period and so I would like to wish all my lovely readers  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Hope you guys have a wonderful holiday wherever you are:)

Review Soleil Tan de Chanel

After reading countless reviews and watching a ton of videos about it, I took the plunge. It was a little painful but it's Chanel, so it's justified?:) There has been plenty of hype surrounding this wonderful product that I thought it's time I gave it a go. 

I was requested by a reader (my first request *yay*) for a review on this product as she has similar skintone to me. Just for reference i'm a NC40 in Mac Foundations. So I decided to give it a test run before writing up this post. Now initially I wasn't blown away as I thought I would be, but I persisted i.e trying to get my money's worth. Used it for a good 3 weeks and i've come to a decision that yes it is worth the hype. Here's why:

Loves

• Consistency, its a creamy texture that blends flawlessly on your face, there's no need of really spending time buffing it in, it just blends into your skin magically.
• The look, a perfect glow to your skin, just right for my skintone.It has no shimmers but because its a cream product it gives a dewy glow to your face which if you can't tell im a massive fan of:) 
•  No obvious line as you sometimes see with other contouring products but more of a natural contour that's perfect for my skintone. Basically I sucked at contouring till now. 
• A little goes a long way with this product, I bought this now almost a month ago and have been using it for a good part of the month and have hardly made a dent, so i guess its bang for your buck* i would like to think*

Loathes

• The scent, now I know a lot of people love it, but I just can't put my finger on it. It doesn't bother me or break me out but I wouldn't mind if it was unscented.
• Price, this cost me a little over AUD$65 so yes its pricey.

Heavy swatch & blended in.

I found the best way to apply this was with my ELF kabuki brush. Now the SA at the Chanel counter recommended using a sponge but I thought it applied a little streaky that way.The kabuki brush gives a  perfect application just right for blending without any streaky mess. Only problem, it does leave some hairs in the product but since its for my personal use, I don't really mind:)

So obviously it's not a perfect product. You would either love it or hate it and since it comes with a hefty price-tag, I would advise to look up reviews before you take the plunge. In my opinion, all thought there might be some negatives, overall I would repurchase it. 

Have you tried the Bronze Universal? What do you think?
