Chanel Fall 2014 Joues Contraste {Innocence}

chanel innocence

Also from the Chanel Fall 2014 collection I ordered the Joues Contraste in Innocence.  It is a beautiful mauvey, rosewood color.  And I was pretty surprised to see that I had nothing similar in my collection.  I was reading Temptalia's review on this the other day and I was actually surprised when she said her blush was a bit dry.  Mine is the opposite.  It is pretty creamy and silky.  It glides on my face easily and I need about an application and a half to get the pigmentation I like.  I really like the color on my pale skin.  Of course like all other blush it breaks down through out the day.  If anyone has a trick on how to keep the color all day please let me know !  Overall I really like the blush and how pigmented it is.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Lipstick {Infamous}



I was walking by the Estee Lauder counter and was intrigued by these new lipsticks.  I normally don't buy makeup from Estee Lauder but, hey these looked great so why not.  I swatched a few shades and landed on this one, Infamous.  All of the Pure Color Envy lipsticks are highly pigmented but, this one was calling my name.  It's a rich, bright pink that suits my fair complexion very well.   It is ultra hydrating and doesn't make me feel like I need a lip balm once it has worn off a bit.  It lasts on my lips around 3/4 hours depending on what I am eating or drinking.   And, I am in love with the packaging.  It is sleek and rectangular (which I love) and it has a magnetic closure.  Something about a magnetic closure just screams luxury to me.  Now at $30 a pop these are up there with Dior Extreme lipsticks and Burberry lipsticks.  I believe the Color Envy lipsticks are just as good in quality.  I have very much been enjoying this formula and am thinking about going back and getting one or two more !  You can find them at most department stores.  I bought mine at Macy's.  Or you can order online from Estee Lauder.  





What has been your favorite lipstick lately ??  And what lipstick formula do you just hate ??
