Special Review: Chanel Lipstick*

Hi cuties!

Here we are again, now in June. The summer is almost here, it is hot outside, the sun is shinning, all is beautiful and colorful!

And talking about color...

Today I thought that I could do a special review of a special present that my boyfriend gave me.

I bring you: the Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick by Chanel!

So, just to get started, this is a limited edition lippie. It is a very smooth and creamy lipstick. I got it  this past March and, since that day, I wore it almost every single day just to test its texture and durability on the lip.

It has a magnet on the top, so you could open it and close it in an easy way, and keep the lipstick safe and without marks.

After all this time, I made my decision about this product: it's a win in some parts but it could bring some problems to several people, depending on the type of texture that you like on the lip.

I'm a matte lippie person, so creamy products like this one, can be a difficult task for me. It slides very well on the lip, so you don't need to be worried with that. It's not like those matte or retro matte lippies from M.A.C. that are very dry on the application and on the lip. 

For me, in the summer, those are my favourites because they don't slide off so easy. Creamy products are not recommended for the summer because of the high temperatures - they almost boil!

This is a product that would be definitly one of my winter favourites, specially on the holiday season!

But I got it for this summer because of the color! I fell in love with this color! It is a deep, power, bright pink, almost magenta. I was looking for a bright color to my lips for this time of the year because summer is a very fun and happy season. We all love the bright colors of summer, and neons for parties!

This one is in number 50, called "La Romanesque". I got it at Sephora.

In my opinion it is a luxury product. Not everyone is willing to spend 36 euros (or 36 dollars) to have this baby in the house. 

So, that is all for today!

We hope that you all enjoyed this new post.

We love you all so much, and we are sorry for the lack of posts in this past times...

Make-up Haul | Essence, Cliché and Pollié

Hello everyone!

Today we bring you our very first haul! We went to a little make-up store in our city and inevitably, we ended up getting a few items. 

We hope you like the products we got! 

First and foremost, I needed a wintery colored lipstick. We ended up buying two lipsticks and a lip pencil! This is "Adorable Matt!" by Essence:

And this is "On The Catwalk!", also by Essence:

The pigmentation is amazing and they are both really easy to apply! 

Now for the lip pencil, this is from Pollié and the number is 203:

Of course we had to buy some nail polishes and these are the ones we picked:

Last but not least, "The mattifying compact powder" by Essence:

That is it for today! We hope you enjoyed this little haul and we will see you very soon!

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!

I hope you are having a nice week, full of wonderful things, and don't forget to check the blog every now and then to see our new posts.

Sunday Review!: Lipstick *

Hi guys! We have a very special weekend treat for you...

So, today we are going to do a little review about a high-end lipstick: the DIORIFIC lipstick by DIOR.

So, first things first: the BRAND.

DIOR is well-known in the fashion industry and, more recently, in the cosmetic and perfum industry. Christian Dior is the genius behind the lipstick that we are going to talk about today!

Now, the lipstick itself!

DIORIFIC is part of the Golden Winter Collection by Christian Dior. The jar is a piece of art: all in gold and filled of curvy and sexy lines! It's a satin finish lipstick with some hints of gold (it shows better on the lips than on the bullet!)

It's a very confortable lipstick to wear, does not get dry on the lips and it lasts for a lifetime! (sometimes we find out that it's hard as hell to take out!) If you have natural smooth lips, this kind of lipstick is perfect for you! But, if your lips need some extra love, and they are dry, we would recommend you to exfoliate and moisturize your lips first before trying this lippie. It can be a very drying experience...

Here it is a swatch of the color on the lips. The color is the 045 ROYALE, a pinky nude color with some hints of gold sparkle **

Hope you enjoyed this review: our first review!

Makeup Essentials!: Makeup Bag *

Hi guys!

So, today I thought that I could show you the items you need to have your own perfect makeup bag! These items are the "Makeup Essentials" and some of them are high-end, and others are drugstore products.

I'm going to talk about each item, one by one, telling you the colors I use, the brand and, in some cases, the price.

Hope you like it, so let's go! 

So, first I have to tell you about the importance of the FACE PRIMER.

Every makeup lover has to have their FACE PRIMER ready for anytime. This product will prevent the oils from your face to get out and it will make your makeup last longer, specially in that special moment or date at night!

Mine is the POREFESSIONAL by BENEFIT. It's a very well-known brand and his actual cost is around 32 euros, here in Portugal. You can find it at any Sephora Portugal.

Another primer product, but is an EYE PRIMER.

If you are an eyeshadow lover, you should have a good EYE PRIMER to help your shadows to last all night long and without creasing.

The product of my choice is the I LOVE STAGE eyeshadow primer, from ESSENCE. 

It costs around 3 or 4 euros and you can find it at drugstores or makeup stores.

To end our "primer" category, we have another must-have: LIP PRIMER or a LIP BALM.

As your face and eyes, your lips also need some love: take care of them so they can be always smooth and ready to all your fabulous lip colors! Show lips worth kissing!

My choice is the BABY LIPS by MAYBELLINE, in the color PINK PUNCH. It's also a drugstore product that you can find in any supermarket or department store. It costs around 2,99 euros.

Next in my makeup bag is my all-time favourite: my CONCEALER.

Concealers exist in many shapes and forms: cream, liquid, powder, etc. But, for fall and winter, when my skin is very dry, I love to put some cream concealer because it's so confortable to wear, and does not dry my eye area. I use CONCEALER and not FOUNDATION because I think that LESS is MORE. Spot treat your face and don't wear makeup that you don't need!

My choice is the FULL COVERAGE CONCEALER by KIKO MILANO COSMETICS. You can find it at any KIKO COSMETICS store or in their website: kikocosmetics.com. It costs 7,50 euros, here in Portugal.

Now, the POWDERS!

Here, I have three must-have products: a setting TRANSLUCENT POWDER, a BRONZER and a BLUSH.

First, the TRANSLUCENT POWDER.

This is a makeup tool that prevents the oils in your face to show, and also removes all the shine. You can wear it over the CONCEALER to remove shine or in your bare skin to remove the shine from the T-zone or the nose area. Remember: LESS is MORE. Apply it on the areas that you need, not in your entire face: it will look very caky...

My choice is the ALL ABOUT MATT translucent powder, pressed powder, by ESSENCE. It's a white powder but it becomes translucent after the application. It costs around 3,99 euros, here in Portugal.

Next, the BRONZER.

This makeup item it's not for everyone because the BRONZER is a very difficult thing to wear. You have to try and experiment to find your type of BRONZER and the areas of your face that need the bronze effect. You can aplly it under your cheekbones, close to your ear area and in your tempoles.

My choice is SOUS DE TEINT by LIERAC. I don't know the price of this product but you can find it at the perfume stores and probably at Sephora.

Finnaly, we have the BLUSH.

Honestly, I don't wear BLUSH very often. It's a well-known product but it's not one of my personal favourites. You can wear it on your cheekbones to give some color and life to your face and, if you are really in the mood, you can layer two different BLUSH colors to achieve a more three dimmensional look.

My choice is the ROSE BLUSH by YRIA. This product is sold through Yves Rocher but I don't know it's current price, here in Portugal.

Now, an all-time favourite: the EYELINER.

This makeup product could be one of the most weared product in the world, used to create beautiful lines in your eyes, helping your to transform them into CAT EYES. But sometimes, it could be a perfect NIGHTMARE... 

As the CONCEALER, the EYELINER exists in many shapes and forms: cream, liquid, in a pen, in a brush, as a gel, etc. My favourite of all is the EYELINER PEN. The pen can give you the precision that you need, specially when you don't have a lot of practice doing it. You can make thick and thin lines and in quick speed!

My choice is the SUPERFINE EYELINER PEN by ESSENCE in Black. It costs around 2,99 euros at drugstores and department stores.

Let's keep showing our eyes some love with the MASCARA.

The MASCARA is also one of my favourite products because everyone loves BIG, THICK and SULTRY LASHES! As the BRONZER and the CONCEALER, the MASCARA needs your time before you buy it: you should discover what type of formula and what type of brush is better to your lashes and to the effect that you wanna to achieve. Since my lashes are small and thin, I need a MASCARA that brings me lenght and also thickness to my tiny lashes.

So, my choice is the VOLUME ATRACTION MASCARA by KIKO MILANO COSMETICS, in the color Black. I bought this MASCARA for 3,99 at the sales. You can find it at KIKO COSMETICS stores all over the country and in their website: kikocosmetics.com

But first, make them nice and perky with the help of a good LASH CURLER! It will give your lashes a boost before you coat them with your favourite MASCARA!

Now, to finish up our PERFECT MAKEUP BAG, my ultimate passion: the LIPPIES!

Lipstick is my favourite makeup tool of all-times because I can be very creative with them and transform myself in a total different person. I'm a MATTE LIPSTICK lover but there are so many finishes of lipstick to chose from...

My choices are two different colors: at the left, a gorgeous NUDE color from KIKO MILANO COSMETICS (number 900). It costs around 3,90 euros; and at my right, a beautiful, everyday pink tone, the STELAR PINK, from MAYBELLINE. This one is a little more expensive and it costs around 8,99 euros in some departement stores.

And now we are finished!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, and maybe be in love with some products that you didn't konw about! Next week, we will be preparing a review in a FALL PRODUCT! Stay tuned for more news!
