CoCo Chanel's Illusion D'Ombre

So my makeup draws have been accompanied by two new and very special guests from the fall 2011 Chanel MakeUp range. 


And they are the new Illusion D’Ombre whipped gel eye shadows. This is really art in a pot. The collection has 6 shades, all have the shimmery/ jewels effect, in capturing the tones and shines of chunky metallic jewels. This collection is divine and zoo beautiful, it really is a treat to the eyes and is absolutely breath taking.


This is the first one i have, its this really nice antique gold color, its great as an all over shade or for us applying on the brow bone or even rubbing some over your cheekbones as a highlight. Its one the most versatile colors in the range and something you really can play around with.

Illusion d’Ombre in Epatant

The second one i have is this lovely deep and rich shade of black which has silvery shimmers in it, it is so dramatic and chic, so chanel really. It is great of a really glam smokey eye and wait till you guys hear this.... you can use this as an eye liner =) =) so start of the gold, mix some of the black in the crease, which mixed together gives you a whole new shade and then line with the black. soo sultry! 

The best part is that these little magical pots come with these super cute little brushes, which have a dual application, so you can use the brush for eye shadow and the tilted side for eye liner. The eye liner application is so great with the brush that comes with it that i actually use this brush now with my other gel eyeliners. 

i really can't go on more about these shadows you all must run and check them out for your selves and the rest of the other range also is just to die for, beautiful lip colors, some great nail shades, the have a quad palette too. i my self can't wait to get some more stuff from this range and its made fall a lot more fun and glam! 

Whats your favorite product from this range ?

p.s let me know if you guys want color swaps and pics, il post them up =)

Beauty & Hair Tips

1.Sharpening eyeliner and lipliner pencils without breaking them

    

    Put your pencils in the freezer for about a minute before sharpening, this will stop them from breaking or snapping when sharpened. 

2.An eye shadow base that keeps its promise

   Use your regular foundation and dab as much as needed all over your eye lids, sweep across some lose or pressed face powder to set it and keep the oil out.

3.Setting foundation 

    Give a five minutes gap after putting on your moisturizer  and applying your foundation, doing this helps create a better canvas to build on.

4.Guarding freshly pedicured toes

    

   Remember to either visit the saloon in your flip-flops or carry a pair with you to come back in.

5.Inexpensive eye wrinkle prevention

    wipe a good layer of vaseline around your eyes before bed time. 

6.Naturally white teeth 

   

    Brush your teeth with bicarbonate of soda every few days, this helps remove tea, coffee and red wine stains. 

7.Taming static and fly away hair

   

    Spray your hairbrush with hairspray before brushing 

 8.Removing hair dye from skin 

    Hairspray or nail polish remover zaps it all away. Be careful off getting any in your eyes.


Hope you guys enjoyed this post and found something in for you. 
I would also love to hear about your tried and tested never failed tips...=) 

Body Tips

1.ByeBye cellulite 

    

    Brush your body with a dry body brush in  upward strokes, exfoliate in the shower and moisturize right after you get out.

2.Preventing stretch marks

    Message your self with extra virgin olive oil every few days.

3.Soft feet 

   Slather your feet with moisturizer and throw on a pair of socks every night when you sleep, you will wake up tooo the softest feet ever.

4.Shaving rash no more

   Saving legs or arms when you are cold will make you get goose bumps and will damage the skin when you shave on it, resulting in being itchy and broken later. Be warm when you shave and always moisturize after.

5.Soften those dry hands

   

   Rub on some almond oil all over your hands and nails before bed time and after contact with water containing detergent, it softens your hands and prevents nails from splitting and cracking.

6.Stop those knees and elbows from aging before you do

   Exfoliate knees and elbows with a mixture of salt and olive oil, moisturize after.

7.Thighs rubbing and chafing when wearing a skirt or dress in hot weather

   

  Rub on some good old baby power all over your thighs.

Loving Much

Hey Everyone,

I am just sitting around, sipping on latte and killing time till my next class so thought of giving a run down on the stuff i am loving right now like really loving =)

To start with.... Iced Latte's and cappuccino's are my weakness these days.. just can't get enough of them. Don't think il ever get over them.

A much loved tunes for this fall is "like a jagger" by Maroon 5 , i have always loved Maroon 5 and think they are just a killer band, i actually went to see them some months back, so listening to them takes me back to there and it feels good.

Something i am trying to come around is working out, not entirely there as yet, but what i have started doing is walking to the train station after classes and i am really enjoying it.. nice Me time, gives me time to think and contemplate..

Another much loved beverage these days is "black tea" without milk... just with a dash of sugar or honey.. super healthy and a great antioxidant....

Ok so on the fun stuff now...

Bourjois-Healty mix foundation - I have been dying to get my hands on this stuff since forever but unfortunately there isn't a Bourjois counter out here in KL.. so over the summer my fiancé and I went over to Singapore and I found it there and straight away bought two. And since then i have been absolutely loving this foundation, it has the creamiest texture, zoo lightweight and just the right amount off coverage, and the best part is that it smells amazing! really fruity and yum..

Its really long lasting, dewy finish and blends in really well, you could properly slobber this on with your eyes closed! Sooo if you get the chance and are looking for a great foundation at a decent price! try this one out.. its amazing!!

Available at most "Boots" outlets! and under the makeup section at department stores.

Next up is the Dior Shimmer powder highlighter - I just looove this stuff, this has to be my favorite highlighting product ever. It gives the most subtle glow ever and isn't full of sparkles and chunks of glitter. just a very pearly, shimmery dewy sheen finish.

I would really recommend this product because its really worth it and it works great as an eye shadow too =)

Thats all for now =) xx
