<\/p>\nA romantic dream of mine is to ride the Orient Express train – a luxury train that takes you across Europe. Perhaps along the way, there might be a train murder mystery to solve. Or maybe not \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But this train was what came to mind when I saw that Chanel has a little collection out for Summer 2010 called Orient Extreme – <\/strong>nothing to do with the trains. I just had to tell you my little dream \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n Now, why am I telling you about Chanel’s summer collection? Its because I have a little rant to go with it. This is a small collection – just an eye shadow duo and nail colours. That’s not my rant.<\/p>\n What’s my rant is the look that goes with it.<\/p>\n I know the name of the collection is “Orient Extreme” but this whole poofy geisha-esque hair and thick eyebrows with flicked out eyeliner is so typical of the orient that its boring and trite. There must be a new interpretation of the “Orient” without having to channel stark white skin and dark black poofy hair.<\/p>\n Also, what’s with the scary thick eyebrows and the scary looks especially the lady in the top left? I actually had the image of Cruella de Ville flash through my mind and the Asian lady forgot her lipstick \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n I’m just sayin…<\/p>\n All that said, I love the look of the nails – gold with a black tip. I shall find a way to dupe this with any existing colours I have.\u00a0 But first, I’ll have to grow my nails to look even semi decent for painting \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n As for the eyes, I know for a fact that that gold shadow is way too warm for me (pretty as it looks in the duo) but I could quite easily dupe this look with existing colours I have that work. We’ll see. Maybe I’ll do a scary thick black browed poofy hair look ala Chanel – whatcha think? \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n Wanna share your first thoughts on Chanel Orient Extreme from seeing the pictures?<\/p>\n Paris B<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A romantic dream of mine is to ride the Orient Express train – a luxury train that takes you across Europe.
