Review: Chanel Le Volume de Chanel Mascara

December 17, 2012

Mascara will always be my #1, can’t live without, desert-island pick, in my bag at all times necessity. With a swipe of mascara on the eyes, I instantly look more awake and my eyes are open. My lashes look longer, darker, thicker and actually have a shape to them. I am always anxious to try the latest mascaras that debut, whether it be a more expensive luxury brand, or a drug store special.

This month, I have treated myself to Chanel’s latest mascara (Merry Christmas to me!) and I have never been more excited about a mascara before. It’s called Le Volume de Chanel, and doesn’t disappoint! The mascara comes in one shade only, Nior, and appears jet, carbon black on the lashes. The product is said to lengthen, thicken, separate and coat each lash with a perfect black pigment.

Chanel claims the brush design to be called a Snowflake brush, “combined with both long and short bristles to deliver an extreme, eye opening effect.” With just one stroke, my eyelashes were blacker, thicker, and instantly plumped up! No clumping, no smudging, no flaking.. and my lashes stayed perfect for hours. I received so many compliments the first time I wore it, and I can’t wait tell everyone my secret!

So thank you, Chanel, for my latest obsession. Now my go-to mascara,  I hope I’ve inspired you to make the purchase so you can have sky-high full black lashes like me!

Will you be trying this mascara?

Looking Polished: Chanel Le Vernis in Mimosa

June 11, 2011

Chanel Le Vernis in Mimosa

While browsing through my emails I came across an ad for a new summer nail polish. Of course it was limited edition so I rushed over to Lord & Taylor but found out that the shade was already sold out. 🙁 So since I was on the beauty floor I decided to check out some other brands to see what summer shades could tempt me to buy them. I immediately went to the Chanel counter because I was a big fan of their Le Khaki colors. The saleswoman showed me their new summer shade called Mimosa, a bight lemony color with very fine sparkles.

Honestly yellow doesn’t immediately come to mind for a nail polish shade but I’d also thought the same about orange until I tried it. So I thought to myself, why not give a yellow polish a shot?

Chanel Le Vernis Mimosa Swatch

From some other beauty blogs that I read, yellow polishes tend to be either really good or really streaky and this formula falls into the latter category. I’m not great at giving myself manicures BUT after attempting to get a streak-free application THREE times I gave up. I truly ADORED the tiny flecks of glitter that are apparent in the nail polish bottle but the look did not at all translate onto my nails. The formula is opaque but applies streaky, even with a base coat. I love the color but alas I will not be wearing this shade.

What are your thoughts on Mimosa? Have you tried yellow nail polish?

Current Lust: Chanel Glossimer Duo

September 29, 2010

Chanel Glossimer Duo Les Deux Levres Scintillantes

My current LUST of the moment is the limited edition Chanel Glossimer set, otherwise known as Les Deux Levres Scintillantes. The colors are perfection! The set includes rose toned shades: Muscat and Wild Rose PLUS you also get a nude lip liner, sharpener and a cute makeup bag. The complementary lip colors would look great and just about any woman. This set is totally worth the $51 price tag (considering each glossimer is normally $27), you’re getting a discount on the lip gloss and a “free” lip liner. Sweet! So who’s getting the set?
