Chanel | Rouge Coco Shine 54 Boy

Another part of my Chanel Haul was the lovely Rouge Coco Shine in 54 Boy.  I hear a lot of people talking about Chanel lipsticks, so I'm glad I finally have joined the club.  Mark at Chanel House of Fraser Oxford Street picked out this colour for me.  I'm so glad he picked out this...shows he's got good taste.

Chanels Boy (the lighting doesn't show this in all it's glory)

This is a rosy pink which is so hydrating on the lips.  I love the fact that it has a nice scent too. I swear it smells of roses.

A close up with the flash

If you can notice there is a slight shimmer to the pink.  It's not overly obvious but I think this gives the lipstick a wet look.  This remind me of a lip balm rather than a lipstick. 

The packaging

The simple Chanel which I love...sexy!

Swatches with a flash and natural lighting

Sadly I for got to take a decent photo of this on my lips.  This is all I have.

Pretty in pink

I really love this lipstick so much I could quiet happily purchase more.  They are not cheap though at £22. 50 it does make you gulp at the price tag.  But this is so beautiful so it doesn't make you feel too bad for long.  There are lots of shades to choose from, so if you don't like this shade there are plenty more to check out.

I am now a Chanel Coco Rouge Shine lover for sure.

Chanel Nail Colours | Peridot & Graphite

Another part of huge Chanel haul was these two gorgeous nail polishes.  I didn't actually intend to purchase these but...I am a girl and I can be persuaded easily....especially if these are being dangled in my face!

So firstly this beauty that goes by the name of Graphite number 529.

Graphite 529

This is a lovely lovely LOVELY polish and I couldn't recommend this enough.  The above picture is three coats.  The polish it's self just in the bottle is stunning.  You could say this is a silvery black grey glitter polish but that description doesn't do it justice.  It is beautiful!!!!  Even though it is glittery it dries smooth, you can't feel the lumps and bumps of the glitter.  If you wear this you will just stare at your nails...trust me.  Oh one more thing, this is as easy as anything to remove with polish remover...not like your usual glitter polishes.

And next on the Chanel conveyor belt is Peridot number 531...

Peridot 531

Peridot is one of the polishes when you look at the bottle is is very deceiving and shows a completely different colour.  It kind of reminds of a moody ring...every time you move it around the light catches a different colour.  It's a green one minute, then a gold ...its a true chameleon. 

My favourite of the duo is Graphite.  I like Peridot but it just doesn't do it for me like Graphite does.  I'm not saying I don't like Peridot, I just think Graphite is more wearable.
I know you've probably seen tonnes of reviews of these polishes so I won't go on too much longer ;-)

Chanel Illusion D'Ombre | Emerveille & Ebloui

If you want to see my Chanel haul post click right here.  I promised a in depth show an tell of my new Chanel items so here is the post for the Illusion D'Ombre's in the shades Emerveille & Ebloui.

L-R ~ 82 Emerveille and 86 Ebloui

Packaging is sleek and come in cute glass jars.  Pretty much like MAC's Paint Pots...just better looking.

As above L-R ~ 82 Emerveille and 86 Ebloui

These are a very similar texture to a Maybelline Moose product, they feel like sponge cake.  Creamy-spongy-soft-velvet-moose.  They are not clumpy and look like powder eye shadows once they are blended onto the lid. 

My main advice with these and with ANY eyeshadow, use an eyeshadow base before you apply these.  They are 'long wearing shadows' but they'll stay put much longer if you use a base.  I use my holy grail item MAC's Painterly Paint Pot.

They have a ultra micro fine glitter in them to make them look metallic.  It's not chucky glitter at all and there will be no fall out under the eyes.

Cute brush you can use to apply the product

In the boxes you get the shadow and a brush like above.  It's so small it's the size of my little finger.  The handle turns into the lid and its perfect for on the go application. 

Only problem with the brush, they do not collect enough shadow so you have to go back and forth a lot which is annoying.  I used my finger in the end which was better.

The swatches: Top-Bottom ~ 86 Ebloui & 82 Emerveille

If I had to compare these colours I would say Ebloui is like MAC's Twinks eyeshadow with the added micro-fine glitter.  It's a reddish toned Brown/Cranberry shade.  A lovely crease colour.
 
Emerveill for me resembles MAC's All that Glitters and maybe Stila's Kitten.  It's a light pinky/peach/champagne colour.  It is perfect for throwing over the lid for a quick natural look.
 
At £22.50 each they may seem expensive but honestly you get a lot of product in the pot.  Plus you don't need a lot of the product on your brush or fingerto make this work.  The pigmentation is beautiful.

The collection launched last Friday and I know these are hot property so If you like the look of these get on down to your nearest Chanel stand.  I believe there are six new shades to choose from!!!!
