[Note: I wrote this up Friday night after I got back home from having a few drinks with friends so I took a nap and woke up on Saturday lol. It's my little brother's birthday on Tuesday so we went out last night and I didn't have time to finish this post or do another one. And tonight I fell asleep with my makeup on before I took pictures. And of course it smudged. But I can tell you that I really do like Stila's Jingle All the Way palette. You can see photos of it in this post. The blush is really nice, it's not too bold so it doesn't overpower or compete with the dark eyes. I used the two darkest colors, the blacks, with the white to highlight and it was really dark, so the colors are quite pigmented and come on quite strong. I will eventually do a post using this mini palette. I will do the 60's mod look TOMORROW, well actually, today, I promise! But for now, read my Chanel makeup post.]
I know I promised Fashion Friday, the 60's mod look for today. But I went to bed really late last night and woke up really early today for work and then after work I went out with my friends. So the alcohol has made me a little tired out. Here is the makeup that I wore out today and I will do the 60's mod look tomorrow, I promise!! It's a long weekend here in Quebec :)
Today I'm going to be doing a smokey eye look using Chanel's Les 4 Ombres in 93 Smoky Eyes as well as Chanel's Rouge Coco Shine in 74 Parfait or you can use their lipgloss, Levres Scintillantes Glossimer in 131 Mica. I got my first ever Chanel products (these 3) for my birthday last month and I was so excited to try it on. I always assumed that Chanel makeup would be expensive because it is a luxury brand and their clothes are crazy expensive. But they actually price their makeup pretty moderately, I'd say it's in the same price range as NARS. And I have quite a bit of NARS stuff.
Speaking of NARS, I used NARS pro-prime smudge proof eyeshadow base and pro-prime pore refining primer to prep for this look. I chose this because I have a lot of deluxe size primers and I wanted to test out the different ones that I have. So I'll be using different primers until I finish off the samples. Need to de-clutter my makeup space. I liked both NARS primers, I thought they were pretty good quality and did a good job prepping the skin. When it comes to Chanel's Les 4 Ombres, the 4 eyeshadows are baked and extremely sparkly. I find they could have gone on a bit darker and more pigmented, I felt that they were too light. Maybe next time I can try using a glitter primer instead of a regular primer. I did like the sparkles, it gives it more of a glam smokey look. I liked Chanel's lipstick and lipgloss, I'm very happy I got both. The Rouge Coco Shine line is very hydrating to your lips and it glides on like a lipgloss. It doesn't come off chunky on chapped lips at all, it goes on perfect. Because it feels more like a gloss, it doesn't have a strong color, but it is nice nonetheless. The lipgloss I bought is very sparkly and pink and I like it. Oh and did I mention that the eyeshadow quad comes with sponge applicators with the Chanel logo on it? How cute! And it also comes in a nice, sleek, black pouch. It also comes with "instructions" for the makeup newbie. I find the Chanel packaging is very classy looking, simple yet elegant. And of course, everything has the Chanel logo on.

So let me know what you think about this look. Chanel is very classy so obviously the eyes aren't super dark, but lighter and sparkly. I really really love the lipstick, it's very moisturizing and nourishing. Feel free to leave a comment and tell me what you thought of this look. Do you like the Chanel eyeshadows or are they too light or too dark for you? Did you like the lipstick? Did you try anything from the Sephora + Pantone Universe collection? I can tell you right now that the quality is nothing like Sephora's regular collection (which sucks, but I still use because it's a cheap way to experiment with many different colors). The quality of Sephora + Pantone is amazing, it's like buying any other medium luxury brand. Let me know if you would be interested in seeing a review or tutorial using these eyeliners and the Foiled Eyeshadow set (the one with the bronze colored top that was released in Fall 2012). Again, I look forward to reading people's opinions and comments.
I will do that 60's mod look later today and I will post it, I promise!! I've just been really busy lately.
Take care everyone,
