CHANEL LIPSTICKS: ROUGE ALLURE VELVET, ROUGE COCO

So I decided to buy my Chanel lipsticks from the boutique this time. I bought my other lipsticks from Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus online and Sephora (Middle East).

The packaging is just perfect! They come in a simple, sleek black and gold packaging. Oh and I love the click mechanism of the Rouge Allure ones. 

I got two shades of Rouge Allure Velvet Intense Long-wear Lip Colour. If you are looking for a good matte lipsticks, I would highly recommend Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet. They are the most comfortable matte lipsticks I have ever tried. Glides on like butter, non-drying and it has a great staying power.
Description:
Elevating matte to a new elegance, this next generation, non-drying matte lipstick glides on lips with intensely rich, long-wearing colour and sumptuously soft, velvet matte finish.


CHANEL ROUGE ALLURE VELVET INTENSE LONG-WEAR LIP COLOUR  # 50 LA ROMANESQUE retails for $36, 0.12 oz of product described as magenta

La Romanesque is a bold magenta shade with cool blue undertone. I think this would suit all kinds of skin tones. It's a perfect spring shade but for me,  I would wear it all year round. Such a pretty shade!

CHANEL ROUGE ALLURE VELVET INTENSE LONG-WEAR LIP COLOUR 

# 40 LA SENSUELLE retails for $36, 0.12 oz of product described as intense violet plum

La Sensuelle is a berry red shade great for fall and winter.  This is my favorite kind of red.  Just like La Romanesque, the color is so rich, very long lasting and leaves a stain behind.

Chanel Rouge Coco Ultra Hydrating Lip Colour has been reformulated not too long ago. I only have one shade from the Rouge Coco collection that I got late last year. (review here) I really love it! It is one of my favorite lipsticks. I only bought one this time but I would repurchase some more. I just need more time to decide which shades to purchase.
Description:
The reinvented Rouge Coco is more expressive than ever, in a new formula and vibrant color spectrum with shade names inspired by Coco Chanel's closest friends. The bright lip color features an exclusive complex with Jojoba and Mimosa Butters, Sunflower Wax and silicone for lasting hydration and luminous results.


CHANEL ROUGE COCO ULTRA HYDRATING LIP COLOUR  # 436 MAGGY   retails for $36, 0.12 oz of product described as shimmering rosewood

This shade is perfect for everyday use. It applies semi-opaque but buildable up to full coverage. It has a warm, gold tiny shimmers which I really love. It is very moisturizing and comfortable on the lips.

Which shade would you get?

TOO FACED CHOCOLATE BAR EYESHADOW PALETTE

So, finally I got the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette.  I know I'm kinda late! A lot of you guys have seen this a hundred times already but still, I want to share my thoughts about it and  how I got an awesome deal using EBATES cash back. 

If you have seen my Perfect Palette Tag video, this was one on my wishlist.  I got two of them, one for me and the other one is for my friend. I purchased them from www.beauty.com. They sell it for $49 a piece. I bought them separately because I was using a $10 coupon and I had two coupons which I cannot use at the same time. I also used my beauty.com cash back. I had $5 something. So, I only paid a total of $72.49 instead of $98. Then, I used my EBATES cash back.  It was really a great deal! 

Everytime I order something from beauty.com/drugstore.com, I always get $10 coupons. They sent me another two $10 coupons. I gave one to somebody else and I'm keeping one for myself. Maybe I'll get a Lorac product or Nars. I will see.

If you shop online, I definitely recommend signing up to Ebates. Just click through the links of the stores listed on their site and you will get a cash back. Like for example Sephora online, you'll get 4% back and sometimes 8% when they offer double cash back. They also offer discounts and coupons. 

Ebates is an affiliate to over 1,600 online stores. I just started using it last August but before that, I have been using my husband's Ebates account. I already got $30 plus cash back for my August and September purchases and my husband got $100 plus. If you're interested, SIGN UP HERE!

This is made with 100% natural cocoa powder. It comes with 16 antioxidant-rich cocoa powder infused matte and shimmer shades. It has natural browns, delicate pinks and luscious plums. It comes in different finishes like matte, matte with glitters, pearl with glitters and metallics. AND, I really love the chocolate bar packaging. You'll get 5.6 grams of product. 

Love the colors! I am more into neutrals, warm, brown eyeshadows and this is just perfect. I'm sure I'm gonna love this one just like how I love my Lorac Pro palette. The palette smells like sweet chocolate. Smells so yummy, I could eat it!

This palette comes with TF's how-to Glamour Guide with three makeup looks to get you started.

Gilded Ganache(Matte with fine glitter), White Chocolate(Matte)

Salted Caramel(Matte), Marzipan(Metallic), Semi-Sweet(Matte)

YSL VOLUPTÈ BLUSH AND DIORBLUSH

I've never own any YSL and Dior blushes before. I only have MAC and Nars blushes. I've heard so much about these blushes from Youtube videos and blogs so, I decided to give them a try. 
These blushes came in a mirrored compacts. I love the sleek packaging. They both came with velvet pouches which will protect the packaging from scratch. I mentioned in my video that they both have black velvet pouches but I was wrong. The Dior one has a dark blue pouch that looks similar to the packaging. I got these blushes from Sephora online.

YVES SAINT LAURENT BLUSH VOLUPTÈ

Heart of Light Powder Blush #6 Passionnee

This blush has two different shades and finishes that will give you a beautiful glow. The square at the center is a peachy shade with golden sparkles to it. Then, around it is a warm-toned pink shade. It has a mild floral scent to it that I really like. It comes with a portable brush which in my opinion is useless. This retails for $47 and it contains 9g of product.

Here are the swatches of the two shades. The top one is the highlighter which is the square at the center and the bottom is the blush around that square.

Here are the swatches of both shades mix together. (Without and with flash)

DIORBLUSH

Vibrant Colour Powder Blush 876 Happy Cherry

This is a vibrant pink shade but flatters olive skin tones or skin with yellow undertone like I have. It applies much more muted as it appears in the pan. It  has a nice texture and blends smoothly onto your skin. It comes with an angled brush applicator which again I'm not going to use. I like bigger brushes to apply my blush. This retails for $44 and contains 7g of product.

You can purchase these blushes at Sephora, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus in-store and online.
