This Holiday season, let your festive finery be bedecked with Les Ornaments de Chanel

November 25, 2019 Paris B 5 Comments

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 😉 )

Dream a Kimono Dream in the Cle de Peau Beaute Rêve de Kimono Holiday 2019 collection

Every year as the Holidays (Christmas) collections are released, there will be brands that stand out. This year, I predict that Cle de Peau Beaute will be that brand, because the Cle de Peau Rêve de Kimono (Kimono Dream) collection is a STUNNER!

Cle de Peau Beaute has always released beautiful pieces in their Holiday collection. Last year, they drew inspiration from Alice in Wonderland, with a whimsical design.

This year, they are going the traditional route, with a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL design and packaging of a small, but compact collection that will make you say “TAKE ALL MY MONEY!” 😀

A dab of colour from the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Quad will not leave you pale as a Ghost

Every time Hourglass releases a new Ambient Lighting palette, I tell myself I’m not getting it. Every single time (almost), I fail in my resolve LOL!

This year, when Hourglass leaked pictures of their upcoming Ambient Lighting Edit Palette – Ghost, I had a deja vu moment. It looked far too much like the other Ambient Lighting Edit Palettes I already own (original, Vol. 3 and Unlocked) to justify buying. Also, I found it sadly unexciting.

Then, a few days later, I came across another release – the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Quad – Ghost. And on this, I pounced! 😀

When using the Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick remember that less is more for a beautiful finish

I’m generally leery about using stick type foundations. While they are convenient and portable, they do have a tendency to be drying. The Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick is anything but!

I picked this one up quite a while ago, and as you can see, it’s quite well-used. The reason is because, I like it quite a lot! 🙂

I shared earlier in a list of things I thought was worth spending money on, and I stand by it. It also reminded me that I hadn’t properly reviewed it!
