Red – the colour of passion, intensity and power.
And of celebration.
In 2020, Cle de Peau Beaute celebrates 10 years of their most iconic lip colour – Legend #103 – in a special release of the Cle de Peau Beaute Legend Color Collection.
And believe me when I say that it is a stunner!

I do. I love mine to itty bitty bits. It’s not even a crush. It’s a full-blown love affair!
I think, if I hadn’t already fallen in love with the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Colour, I might have overlooked this new release a few months ago. But in love with the Crushed Lip Colour I am, so when the liquid version was launched, I hot-footed it down to the nearest counter to have a look.
I also promptly went home with 2 shades (because they are quite affordable) and have been enjoying them ever since. I was on the verge of blogging about it, when as fate would have it, all the shades landed on my desk! You should have seen the grin that split my face from ear to ear 😀
It also meant I had to get down to work! 😛

But how often do you travel somewhere cool, and then find that your skincare isn’t holding up, or that your skin starts to flake and dry out and break out? Worst of all, this happens even after you return home!
Not only is it uncomfortable, your makeup doesn’t look good whether in person or in holiday snaps.
Well, I most recently went on such a holiday.
It was cold and windy, and the humidity was laughably in single digits. I knew my skin would suffer. So I made the necessary preparations, and I can happily report that after a week, the skin on my body was dry and itchy as heck! But the skin on my face was not only comfortable and near perfect, my makeup went on well and looked so natural and amazing too! Yes, I’m preening LOL! 😀
So here’s some tips you should keep in mind when you travel from the hot and humid tropics to a cool, low humidity destination, and the products that helped me.

Usually, when it involves something as easy to use as a lip colour, I am even more fascinated. After all, lip colour is one of the easiest makeup to apply. Very few people will have trouble slicking on a lipstick, right?
When I came across these very interesting lip colour toppers from Chanel, I was very intrigued.
They are all permanent items, so you can check them out at the counter or store at your leisure. I like when brands keep things permanent. It is less stressful for everyone concerned (and our wallets!) LOL 😀
These are all iterations of the Chanel Rouge Coco Gloss, a new formula of the iconic Chanel lip glosses that was introduced some time last year. I think 😛 The new formula is now far less sticky, more jelly like, and have no scent. They are very comfortable to wear and come in many shades.
But I wanted to show you some interesting pieces that will remind you that makeup can be fun and almost magical! 😀
