My Favorites: Mascara, Le Volume de Chanel




I finally decided to go ahead and do a "My Favorites" series of blogposts. In this mini series of post, I am going to try some of my stand out, long time use products. I am going to try to range them from beauty, hair, skincare, and maybe even fashion. If you have any requests of a specific type item that you would like to know my all time favorite please let me know in a comment, I would love to do that! Although over time many of my "favorite" products change, I will try to stick to things that are all time holy grail items and/or things I have been using recently, for a good while that is. I will be sure ot distinguish the difference and try to tell you how long I have been using each product! 

On that note... Let's JUMP on into the first item!

I decided that I rave and rave about this product all of the time, you're probably tired of hearing about it,  so it would be best to do it first and "get it out of the way"? Anyways, the one and only Le Volume de Chanel has been a recent but on going mascara favorite of mine since I believe about October or November of 2012. I first received this product as a sample from a lady at my Chanel counter. She informed me that it would not be available for a while, but that I should try it! THANK YOU to her! I instantly fell in love. I can not tell you how many tubes of this I have used and repurchased. I have used up so many. I am the type of person who usually doesn't repurchase too many things, I like to experiment with new products each time. But, with this, I have only bought one other mascara in this time frame and I really don't use it all that often. I am terrified that Chanel will stop selling this and then I will be lost ( ok, maybe a little exaggeration).  Still this product is fabulous!

You're probably wondering, " Is she ever going to tell us why she likes it"?! lol

There are many things that I love about this mascara and only a few things that I don't like. I really love the formula and the brush for this mascara. The formula is very volumizing and lengthening. I feel that it really gives me the effect of false lashes, which I love. I also really like the packaging. I like how sophisticated and classy Chanel packaging is. I am a huge fan of black, I just think it's so classy! In my opinion the formula of this mascara get's better after a little time. I really don't like it for the first few uses, it is too wet for me.

One of my favorite things about this mascara, other than the formula obviously, is the brush.




This is my absolute favorite mascara of the moment and has been for the past 6 months or more. I have never tried the Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Mascara, which I have heard is similar and/or has been a long time favorite of many people. I am interested in trying it, it may be my next purchase. If you have tried both of these I would love to know which one you like better?


Don't you just love that logo?!


I have the black #10 shade.

Check out these posts to see up close pictures of me wearing this mascara. But, I usually wear it in most all of my videos, because I wear it about everyday! 


The Mascara retails for $30.00, view more info here.

Thank you for stopping by! I hope that you found this helpful. If so, be sure to share it! Also, if you like this style post please let me know so I can continue to do more of these. & if you have any requests of reviews or anything just ask in a comment!

XOXO,

Dark Green Smoky Eye!





 I am so excited to share this look! I absolutely love it! I think that this is so easy and foolproof but it still looks like you spent a while on your makeup (little do they know... lol). Anyways, I wanted to share this because I just recently hauled two of these items (Check out the haul HERE!). So far I am really liking both things. The Chanel cream shadow is definitely my favorite. It is such a beautiful color and the product i easy to work with. The Laura Mercier is also nice, although I was a bit disappointed in how much chunky glitter was it the shadow. I would have liked it more if there was less glitter, but I still like it!




I really love how the two Chanel colors work/look together! It make's me so happy, ha. But, I also like just the Laura Mercier and Chanel cream shadows together. I think cream shadows are going to be my next obsession!! I hope you enjoy this look, I think that it is just beautiful and too easy!

Products Used:



Chanel Ombre Essentielle (Single Shadow) in 88 Vert Khaki 
Chanel Illusion D'Ombre (Cream Shadow) in 84 Epatant
Benefit Brow Zings Brow Kit in Light
Chanel Le Volume de Chanel in Black
Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Sugar Frost
MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Stubborn Brown
MAC Eyeshadows in Phloof + Satin Taupe


Bobbie Brown Shimmer Brick in Lilac Rose
Chanel Highlighter (Spring 2013 Collection)
MAC Creamsheen Lipstick (name unknown, HELP!!)
I love this MAC lipstick but I don't know what it's name is. It is lighter than cream cup, any thoughts?

I hope you all enjoyed this quick little post. My video will be up tomorrow and I will update this then!!
Happy Sunday night/ early Monday!!

Thank you for stopping by!


XOXO,

All of the products used in this video are my favorites at the moment and possibly of all time! I have recently fallen in love with the new Chanel Quad for their Spring 2013 collection! It is great for any eye color and can be used as a quick everyday eye or it can be played up for a more dramatic night time look! Without a doubt Urban Decay's primer potion, Chanel's Le Volume de Chanel Mascara, their Liquid Liner, and Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer are all time holy grail products! They are all so wonderful! If you would like a more in depth review on any of these products, feel free to leave me a comment letting me know! 
I hope you all are having a fantastic relaxing weekend!

Haul : Chanel Holiday Collection 2012!! & their NEW Mascara!!




Happy Monday :) I am sorry for posting this a little late, but I finally got the collection! Or at least what I wanted from the collection. I am so excited :) So I wanted to share my thoughts and swatches of and on the collection!!





So the first product that, is the one I was most excited to get!

The Eyeshadow Quad.






I just love the Chanel packaging. It is absolutely beautiful :)


The package comes with four colors:
A bright gold
A beautiful taupe
A cranberry type color
and
A light pink


($65)

Swatches:
gold
taupe
light pink
cranberry

The blush of the collection is swatched above, above the eyeshadows.


The blush is a beautiful, shimmery, light pink color. Although it does has some glitter in it, but it is not chunky!


The color is Star Dust.
($43)


Nail Polish: 637 Malice


This polish is by far my new favorite for the holiday season. It is absolutely amazing. Malice is a beautiful dark red. It is shimmery but not chunky glitter. Chanel got EVERYTHING right, with this polish:)


Chanel's NEW Mascara
Will be available on chanel.com on Nov. 12 and at other stores at a later date.


This Mascara has recently become a new favorite also. It gives me volume and length like no other mascara I have tried! It is also AMAZING!!! Although at first I was unsure about it, I absolutely recommend this and love it. 


The brush is larger than other Chanel Mascara's. The tip is pointed and round to cover small hard to get lashes. The formulation is great! I feel like it gives my lashes a beautiful curl and does not smudge or run.

Overall I really like this collection. If I make anymore Holiday Collection Purchases I will be sure to share.

What is your favorite Holiday Collection this year?
If you purchased this collection, what is your favorite piece?

Thank you for reading!!
