NYC Du Jour 5.22.09

It was a GORGEOUS day yesterday! I took this picture on my walk home from work yesterday. I loved it and I know a lot of you ask me about NYC so I wanted to give you a peek into my world and Washington Square Park.

Obsession Du Jour 5.7.09

Illamasqua!

Thank god they are expanding to the states. I was lucky to get my hands on the now sold out sirens collection and the most sought after item, the liquid metal is Solstice AND Enrapture! Let me tell you, run, do not walk to get this if you can find it! WOW, these are INSANE, beyond pigmented and literally look like liquid metal. I am blown away, see for yourself (the swatches were just a light swipe of the color, no building or layering!!).

I also got two fat pencils in Willful (a red copper) and Perverse (a silver), these are okay, not knock my socks off amazing like the liquid metal.






INSANE!

I absolutely can not wait to try these out and wear them. I adore golds and bronzes and this will be perfect for summer tans, long flowing dresses and beachy hair!
What are your thoughts? Will you be trying these out?

Summer Product Lovin Du Jour 4.19.09

So now that summer time weather has reared its head in new york city I have decided to break out my tried and true summer bronzer.

Meet Bronzer Universal De Chanel, or as I like to call it, the best bronzer in the world.

Creamy, bronze goodness...

Swatch on my un- tanned winter ew skin.

This bronzer has been with my since highschool around 7 years ago when I first discovered it (i have gone through about 4 or so of these). Again, as I am dry it is hard for my to use a bronzer without looking all powdery, which I HATE. During winter, during my palest days, I use this as a cheek color and a bronzer or to contour. During the summer, I use this as an all over face color to deepen my tan. The best way to use it is with an angled fluffy brush (I used to use my fingers with this and that was adequate, but the brush application makes a world of a difference because you really only need the slightest bit).Truly wonderful product my Chanel, and definitley one of my staples in my makeup stash.

Pros:

• Sheer, Natural, Buildable Color
• Creamy
• Lasts a long time (only need a tiny bit for each applicaion)
• Packaging
• A lot for your money
• Smells nice
  

Cons:

• Chanel price tag, very expensive ( SO WORTH IT)
• Comedegenic, if you are acne prone, I would not suggest this.

Have any of you tried this and love it as much as me?
