One Brand Show!: Chanel

Hi guys!

Hope you're ok and getting ready for Halloween! It's just around the corner!

Todays post is all about a HUGE and CLASSY brand: CHANEL!

CHANEL has been known in the fashion world for ages and more recently started its own makeup brand and perfume lot. Chanel nº5 is a well known perfume since I can remember but now the brand is trying to expand it's perfume collection and became more girly and flirty. It also started to create men perfumes and BLEU by CHANEL, is one of my favourites!

But today, we are getting into Chanel's makeup collection and, in a more specific way, the nail polish collection!

So, let's get started!

Every season Chanel launches new colors for their nail polish collection: some of them are permanent and become part of the official collection, while others are limited edition. I have here to show you two of the colors from the permanent collection and one limited edition, that my boyfriend gave me! 

First things first: the FORMULA.

These nail polishes are very temperamental. Yes, if you don't take good care of them or don't show them some extra love, they won't last. They need to be in a dry area, without direct sunlight. They will dry fast and be ruined if they catch any sunlight or stay in the heat. My polishes are in a cool, and dry spot in a drawer, in my room. 

In the actual nail, the polish is beautiful and it lasts a lifetime! It runs so smoothly and it is so easy to apply. The finish is shinny and very pretty.

The first nail polish that I'm going to show you is a perfec color for fall and (why not?) for Halloween too. It is a true red! A luscious and warm red colour that will make you the perfect femme fatale! This color is part of the permanent collection.

The name of this luscious color is Dragon, in the number 475.

It costed around 21 euros, in Sephora stores, here in Portugal.

The second nail polish is a very girly and sweet color. It reminds me of candy! It is a ver light and soft pink color, perfect for a pretty and simple look! It could almost be a nude color, but with a much more pink undertone. This is also a color that you can find in the permanent collection of Chanel's nail polishes.

The name of this one is May, in the number 535.

It also cost 21 euros in Sephora.

The last one is a treat! It is a limited edition color and it is gorgeous! I can't discribe this color very well because it is such a different color, but I think that is between a red and a coral pink colour. I know it sounds strange but it is hard to explain :) 

It is more red than pink but it has a coral undertone to it that gives it a spark and makes this nail polish a piece of art on your nails. It is my favourite one! And... it was a gift, so, how can I be more lucky? :)

In the foto it appears very pink, but it deffinitly has a more red tone to it.

The name of this gem is Élixir, in the number 589. I don't know the price of it, but I think it is the same or similar to the other ones. You can find it at Sephora stores, but I don't know if they are still selling it.

So, that is all for today!

Autumn | Cute Hairstyles

Hi guys!

This little tutorial is going to be all about hair! Thick or thin, long or short our hair is one of our most important accessories. Sometimes we just don't know what to do with it and it can be very frustrating as well as annoying!

Now keep in mind that everyones hair is different and because of that some hairstyles might not look so great on some of us. All we need to do is play around with our hair to see what looks best on us. Not everyone is blessed by nature with beautiful, luscious hair! So, basically we are bringing you three very simple hairstyles that we feel are very pretty, easy and feminine and that can be worn in a variety of situations!

Fist we have a very nice way to pull your hair up in literally two minutes: a basic bun.

So, you are going to take your hair up in a high ponytail like this:

Then you are going to twist it and pin it up with bobby pins, like this:

And if you want to jazz it up a little, just take your ponytail and braid it, then pin it up with bobby pins!

Now, a pretty basic one. You are going to take your hair and put it up in a half ponytail, that alone looks very nice but, if you want to make it extra pretty, add a hairclip.

The last one is a bit more tricky but anyone can do it! You are going to take your hair and take one piece of hair on each side of your head above your ears and braid them, you can even pin the rest of your hair back so it doesn't get in the way, like this:

Glamorous, right? Don't worry it will be just fine! Now you are going to cross both braids across your head:

Then, you are going to secure each braid to the sides of your head and it will look something like this:

And there you go! Three easy and quick ways to style your hair that look pretty and put together!

We hope you liked this tutorial and we would love for you guys to show us some pictures on our social media of your take on them if you try them out!

See you soon,

XO, The Blue Girls ❤️
