Chanel Rouge Allure ~ Lipgloss

Chanel's Rouge Allure Extrait De Gloss has the depth of a lipstick, yet the shine and feel of a gloss. With the beautiful ingredients of shea butter, canola oil derivatives and vitamin E your lips are sure to feel pampered.  





Insolence #57

You can use this gloss on it's own or over your favourite lipstick for a light reflective shine. Although this product is promoted as having a lip staining effect, we were rather disappointed to find that this isn't necessarily the case. However, we were impressed by the range of available colours and for a gloss - the colour lasts a reasonable amount of time. While we wouldn't purchase this product again, we have enjoyed using a Chanel branded lipgloss.

 



Genie #52

SereneMuse bought Chanel Rouge Allure in Insolence #57 (pink fairy floss) and Genie #52 (burnt peach).



Chanel Illusion D'Ombre ~ Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow

Graphite #529



True to it's long-wearing name with high quality pigment; this product is a mousse-like cream, which as any make-up artist would know can cause creasing. This product however, does not crease and will last for hours. With this product comes a natural fibre high quality application brush; strong bristles and an angled tip make applying the eyeshadow easy for novices or experts alike. Overall this product is easy to apply and blend. Something SereneMuse would definitely purchase again and recommend to our fellow beauty-lovers. 

Application: lightly dab flat side of application brush over product without pressing. Apply under the socket crease of eyelid with a pressing technique, trying not to use a swiping effect. Blend to socket line. Add under eye if you desire that effect.

Can also be used as an eyeliner by using the tip of the application brush; starting from the inside upper eyelash line, stopping in the middle. Then starting from the outside upper eyelash line, apply from the outside in, meeting at the middle. This will create a perfect upper eyeliner effect.

Tip: When creating a wing effect with any eyeliner - imagine a straight line from the corner of your nose to the outer corner of your eye, apply the eyeliner on that angle for the perfect effect.



Note: Make sure you replace the lid after application to ensure longevity of the product quality.

The way you make me feel...

We recently purchased our first ever Chanel products and were thrilled to get home and try them out. It all started when we were treating ourselves to a pedicure and discovered that the most amazing graphite-coloured nail polish the lady next to us was wearing was her new Chanel nail polish. So of course, we couldn't just purchase the nail polish alone... we also had to have the eye shadow, lip tint/ gloss and the impressive nail polish that turns any nail polish mat with just one coat (how do they do that?!). Even if you don't think it's the best product around, it sure does make you feel good to be wearing Chanel.
