Bold and intense, the Chanel Rouge Allure Ink Fusion Intense Matte Lip Color feels like second-skin on lips

I’m not a fan of matte lipstick, and especially not of matte liquid lipstick. It is a trend that I wish would fade away, but it doesn’t seem to be. The next best thing therefore is for me to find a formula that is comfortable and flattering. For me, that formula is the Chanel Rouge Allure Ink.

I’m still thoroughly enjoying using it because it fits right in with the matte lip trend, yet feels so comfortable on. Naturally therefore when I got wind of the new Chanel Rouge Allure Ink Fusion matte liquid lip colour, my interest was piqued.

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!

I think the Laura Mercier Rouge Essential Silky Crème Lipstick might be a lipstick wardrobe essential

Laura Mercier has been busy revamping themselves recently, first with a new logo, then a new foundation, and now, a new lipstick! While I have struggled to appreciate the brand’s lipsticks in the past, I have to say, I really like the new Laura Mercier Rouge Essential Silky Crème Lipstick!

It’s no secret that my lipstick preference tends towards glossy, creamy and satin finishes. I struggle to work with matte-finish lipsticks. So, when a slew of new lip products were released this year by various brands, marking a shift away from matte textures, I sat up to take notice, after slouching in my seat, willing away the dry, heavy, matte-textured lip looks of the recent past.

And one that was interesting enough was this new offering from Laura Mercier.

If you’re wearing the Chanel Sublimage Le Teint Foundation you will not need any photo filters!

About 4 years ago, I was introduced to, and found my photoshop in a bottle. I raved about it to everyone who’d listen; and who wouldn’t faint dead away at the price tag LOL!

I was, and still am, very happy using it.

But a new contender stepped into the ring earlier this year, and quite quickly claimed the top spot.

The new King of the Hill in my books is the Chanel Sublimage Le Teint foundation. A beautifully formulated, creamy foundation that not only gives me the photoshop in a bottle, but leaves my skin feeling BETTER for wearing it.

What is this sorcery! 😀
