Nail of the Day - May by CHANEL

For my birthday, my mum treated me to my first Chanel nail polish. Obviously I was incredibly excited and the colour was simply beautiful but I was slightly apprehensive. Due to the huge hype around Chanel makeup - I include my self in this - I feel the quality must always match the price for it to be justifiable. Therefore, I hoped that it matched up to my previous good experiences of Chanel makeup.

The nail polish is Chanel's Spring Collection which consisted of various lipsticks, a beautiful blush that I could never afford - you know which one I am talking about - and three nail polishes : April, May and June. Although my birthday is in April my mum decided to get me May because it was more appropriate for the summer. 

To get the opacity seen in the picture I had to apply three coats, not great considering the price tag. Nevertheless, the colour is gorgeous. It has an almost gel effect which has excellent staying power - not one chip yet! (three days after)

I expect that this will be my one and only Chanel nail polish, it is a nice luxury but I could have got six Barry M ones for the same price!

Birthday Wish List!

As it is my birthday in a few weeks, I thought I would show you all a (dream) wish list of things I would like to get! 

1. Chanel 5170 Sunglasses in Dark Havana 

I have never had an expensive pair of sunglasses before due my clumsy habits of dropping/losing things. However, as I am becoming a year older, I hope I become wiser and more able to own glasses that don't come from Primark! Bought from HERE 

2. Stocking up on perfume

                         

                    

I have suddenly ran out of all my favourite perfumes at the same time (always seems to happen) and I have wanted to try Chanel Chance Eau Tendre for ages - the bottle is gorgeous! 

3. Topshop Blazer

Every girl should have a blazer, they are such a good investment as they are ridiculously wearable! I have wanted a off-white one for AGES and I think it would be great for spring. Link to Topshop Blazer HERE 

I am too excited for my birthday and I hope I am lucky enough to receive some of these gifts from friends and family. 

Deal of the Week

Lip of the Day - Chance by Chanel

When I made my first Rouge Coco Shine purchase, I knew it wouldn't be the last. The formulation of these lipsticks is incredible - they are so moisturising and glossy. Yes, they are expensive but whilst in duty free, I decided to pick another one up. 

After much deliberation at the Chanel counter, I decided to go for Chance (56). I loved the baby pink, immaturity of it but I also thought it would be perfect for spring! 

As pastels are massive for spring/summer, I expect I will be wearing this beautiful shade all the time. Last Chanel purchase - I promise!

Duty Free Haul!

I recently came back from a lovely skiing holiday in Courchevel (France) and whilst in duty free, I decided to stock up on boring necessities like foundation and powder. Unfortuately, a few things crept into my basket without me realising ... 

l-r  clinique almost powder makeup in neutral fair, chanel coco rouge shine in 56 chance, chanel poudre universelle in 22 rose clair, chanel vitalumiere aqua in 10 beige 

Yes, a Chanel lipstick appeared in my basket but as I was going to France, I thought it was rather appropriate.

Lip of the Day - Boy by Chanel

What is our obsession with Chanel? Whenever I see those intertwined C's and the black and gold packaging my heart skips a beat and I find myself subconsciously gliding towards the glistening counter. The classic beauty of everything that is Chanel captures me and for a moment I forget that 1. I do not need a new lipstick, and 2. I cannot afford a new lipstick. Five lovely minutes later I am clutching a gorgeous white bag, embossed with the sacred symbol and almost skipping out of the store. Chanel is dangerous. 

When Chanel released their new lipsticks - Rouge Coco Shine - I thought they looked amazing, I had never owned a Chanel lipstick before and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to join the 'Chanel Cult'. The one problem was they were rather expensive, in fact they were ridiculously expensive, so I refrained. However, the advertisements were everywhere, reminding me of how beautiful they were and walking past the Chanel counter took so much will power - it seemed rather sad. So I gave in. 

I was not disappointed and the guilt lessened as the days went on. Inside the fabulous packaging I found the most gorgeous, glossy lipstick. The colour I bought was Boy (54), a 'my-lips-but-better' colour, it applied beautifully and I absolutely love it. It's the perfect daytime shade which I could wear all year round - this was the justification line. Yes, Chanel is expensive and no, I did not need it but surely a Chanel hit once in a while can't be bad ...

I bought this lipstick in Boots and it cost .... £23 - if you say it faster it helps. This would be a lovely Christmas present for a very lucky someone with the dreaded Chanel bug. I have got my Chanel fix for the year and I could not recommend this lovely lipstick enough.
