LE POP-UP DE CHANEL

Copped a few things from their Summer '10 collection. Check it out at your nearest Nordstrom Chanel counter, it's all amazing!

Creamsicle Lips

Wearing my favorite, Sisley's L30.

Wish List Item #3: Chanel Powder Blush in No. 44, Narcisse

Ah, the necessities. I'm out and can't afford a new compact. I'm supposed to be spending my hard-earned cash money on others this time of year, yeah?

NARS Highlight Blush Powder in Albatross

One of my most versatile, and most often used cosmetic, NARS Highlight Blush Powder in Albatross is absolutely fabulous. You know how many attempts I've had to try and achieve that dewy look? So many. It was attained, though, when the sales lady at Nordstroms recommended this product to me.

This powder can be worn alone, under, or over make-up. It's great for highlighting and adding dimension to the cheeks, eyes, and body. What I love about Albatross is its color's complexity; when applied one can see subtle gold and purple shimmer that's beautiful enough to be worn alone.

I usually apply to my cheeks and sometimes my eyes when I'm not wearing shadow. I highly recommend it for any skin tone.

If you enjoy this product then I'd also recommend the Multiple Stick (ha...) in Copacabana, $37

Can be found at Nordstrom or NARS website, $25

Yves Saint Laurent Cosmetics

Touche Eclat, $40

One of my all time favorite cosmetics line is Yves Saint Laurent. They have great mascara and lipstick in an assortment of beautiful colors that you can't find anywhere else. But, what I love the absolute most is their Touche Eclat. Ya'll need this, I'm tellin' ya.

Touche Eclat not only hides fatigue and shadows from the contours of your face, but also gives the skin a natural radiance that's subtle and very natural-looking. I usually apply under the eyes, but it can also be used in the hollow of the chin, the contours of the lips, and at the sides of the nose. 

No extra tools needed, your fingertips will do the trick. It comes in pen form so it's super easy to bring around with you and to apply anywhere. I've had the same pen for about six or seven months now and I use it everyday. This small pen packs a lot of product and a little goes a long way so it's definitely worth your money.

Mascara, $27.50

Their mascara is great, too. They come in four different formulas: Infini Curl, Everlong Lengthening, Volume Effet Faux Clis, and a basic waterproof. Each formula varies in color selection but the overall available colors are high density black, rich brown, fascinating viole, burgandy (!), deep night, cobalt blue, petrol-blue, and green. I use the Infini Curl in viole and the color is very vibrant, as opposed to others I've tried that barely show at all. They're all most excellent!

The weather here has been very, very good to me lately, so now that my skin is darker and I'm wearing a lot less make-up, I just use these two products and am good to go!
