Today's inspiration

Red

Chanel lips

Chanel has some of the best beauty and make up products out there. I haven't used a Chanel product that I did not like to this day (except perhaps their nail polish. The nail polishes have the most beautiful colours, but it doesn't apply as nice as some of the cheaper brands). The prices can be a bit expensive depending on what you want, but you definitely get your money's worth. I'll do a beauty product post in the future, but this one is about their lipsticks and glosses that I am so completely in Love with!

Chanel Aqualumiere Lipglosses

These lipglosses are simply wonderful! They come in a variety of stunning colours, they're not sticky and the colours go well with different skin tones, even the lighter colours, because the glosses aren't overly pigmented thanks to their high shine sheer concentrate, which is nice for a gloss (for pigmented colours I'll use a lipstick). Apply a couple of layers for a better show of the true colour. The applicator is a little brush that makes it easy to apply the gloss more precisely. Also the tube is very chic with it's black top and white letters.

65: Party Red, this is a perfect red. I use this for when I'm feeling sexy (which is pretty often..ha!)

78: Cherry Blossom, Stunning dark pink, fuchsia kind of colour. I use this for an evening out, because it adds a special touch with the light glitter/shimmer that it has.

69: Glass Quartz, ultimate nude lip colour. I use this during the day, all day. Basic and chic.

697: Canari, nude with a little glamour. I use this colour when I want to sexy up the nude lip. The gold shimmer does this perfectly. This is also my ultimate summer lipgloss.

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine 

These pretty little things are between a lipstick and a lipgloss/balm. That's why they're called a hydrating sheer lipshine. I mentioned one of these in a previous post about products that I loved. And I still just cannot get enough of this product! It feels silky smooth on your lips and has a delicious creamy rose scent. This is definitely a must have for your make up collection! The colours in the picture above are 57: Aventure & 447: En Vogue.

Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick

This lipstick is stunning. My absolute favourite colour for winter. This lipstick is soft and hydrating on your lips, not overly pigmented, but just enough and has a lovely powder kind of scent. The container is also very chic. You push on the gold bottom and the lipstick comes out of the black container in it's elegant golden shell. This stays in my purse all through winter...and perhaps a little spring!

Products I Love

How I Love these products! I'd like to share some of my favourites with you guys. Maybe it will inspire you to try something new!

Therme facecare, 3 minutes energy mask: This mask is lovely because you only need to leave it on for 3 minutes and the substance is not too thick so it comes off easily. If you're feeling a bit tired and want to be more fresh faced in the morning, but don't have much time, than this product is perfect for you.

Flora by Gucci: One of my most favourite perfumes! It's soft and flowery and such a spring/summer scent. I usually stick to my Chanel perfumes, but this one definitely has me hooked on the scent! It makes me feel totally girly and free!

Maybelline Expert Wear Blush 58 Brown: I have been using this blush for maybe 3 years and I'm staying true to it! Of course I also use other blushes, but this is my most favourite. It works for casual everyday or for evening chic. The colour goes with every kind of lipstick and is perfect for caramel skin tones, but if put on lightly it will work for lighter skin tones as well.

Chanel rouge coco shine hydrating sheer lipshine: I am addicted to this lipstick! It is part of the Chanel Summer 2012 collection. This is colour 447 En Vogue, a bright coral colour that comes on sheer and slightly moist, so you have a feel of a lipstick and lip gloss all in one. I just cannot stop putting this on and yesterday went and bought another colour. Also it has a delicious creamy rose scent. Love it!

Landoll Nashi Argan: This is a beauty treatment for every type of hair that is made from certified Argan oil and linseed oil. Argan oil is a plant oil produced from the kernels of the argan tree from Morocco, that is valued for its nutritive, cosmetic and numerous medicinal properties. This product repairs, nourishes and gives shine and has a lovely scent to it. I use the big bottle when I just washed my hair and spray the little one when I want a quick touch up.

What are some of your favourite products?!
