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!” 😀

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.

5 Things I Love Vol. 3: Blog housekeeping and a bit of this and that

Hello friends!

I don’t know about you, but August has been quite a month for me this year – both good and bad.

But mostly good 🙂

Before I jump to sharing the 5 things I love this month, I wanted to just quickly give a heads up about a slight change in posting schedule here on the blog.

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
