Easy Eye Makeup Tip: Just 1 Eyeshadow, 1 Eyeliner, 1 Brush and 5 seconds of your time

I have a confession.

I’ve become lazy at putting on makeup, in particular, eyeshadow. So often, I just go out with some concealer, brows, blush and a lipstick.

Yet, sometimes, a hint of colour or definition around the eyes can make for a better look.

While I have not been the most creative person around when it comes to eyeshadow application, I had been a little more involved before this. But with a new lifestyle, comes a new approach to makeup.

And one day, I stumbled on a new technique of applying eyeshadow that involves just 3 items, and 5 seconds of your time. It doesn’t get better than that! 😀

I’d been looking forward to Chanel’s 2019 Holiday makeup collection for a while. Ever since I saw teaser images of the collection a few months ago, I’d been enamoured.

Happily, I was not disappointed with the actual product! 😀

The key item that had me eagerly awaiting the Les Ornaments de Chanel collection was the eyeshadow quad. There was something about the intricate embossing of the pattern that reminded me of the buttons on Chanel’s iconic tweed jackets.

I was generously gifted a selection of products from the Les Ornaments de Chanel collection so I’ll tell you what I think is worth the splurge (and what you could skip over 😉 )

This Fall 2019, the Noir et Blanc de Chanel collection will have you decide if you prefer it black or white

I always look forward to Chanel’s seasonal makeup collections. Ever since Lucia Pica came on board as their Creative Director, we’ve seen many very interesting interpretations released, and I love it!

For Fall 2019, the collection is called Noir et Blanc de Chanel – Black and White. You might have already seen the images.

Black and White is very stark, and it is this bold contrast of colours that Lucia Pica is going for. A selection of opposites, with deep, dark tones and shades that evoke the longer, cooler nights that will befall most of the Northern Hemisphere very soon.

The products are either softly shimmering with the lightness of white and light, or bold and deep with the shadows and mystery of the dark black. The packaging reflects this, with sleek, snow white packaging for some items, or the regular sleek black of Chanel makeup packaging.

As much as I love most of Lucia Pica’s releases however, I must admit that the Noir et Blanc de Chanel collection is a little too experimental and avant-garde for little ol’ me 😛 I’ll explain

Line and define those peepers with a selection of Pixi Beauty eyeliners

A while ago, I shared with you one of my favourite eyeliners, which was the Pixi Beauty Endless Silky Eye Pen. A few weeks ago, I was surprised by a wee package by the folks at Pixi Beauty, who must have guessed at my love for their liners, because they sent me a few more! LOL!

I’m going to share some quick thoughts about these liners, and how they perform for me. However, as much as I enjoy using eyeliners, mascara is something I don’t use anymore. So, if you enjoy using mascara, and would like to have a go, I have a wee surprise for you below 😉
