Chanel Stylo Eyeshadow - Laurier Rose

 This is another new product I picked up on holidays. I was just randomly swatching things in Sephora and this one really took my breath away. All of the Chanel Stylo Eyeshadows looked lovely, but the Laurier Rose shade in particular just looked fantastic to me. It was €30 from what I remember, so not cheap but I knew I'd get plenty of use out of it.

I actually used to be really obsessed with pink shades on my eyes but I haven't worn eye looks like that in a long time.

Isn't that swatch just heavenly? It almost has a metallic quality to it. It's a really warm toned pink with a subtle sparkle. Actually Chanel describe the shadow as having "fresh and iridescent effects". I definitely get that, and the eyeshadow has a cooling effect too when applied to the eyelid. It's very creamy and glides across the eyelid with ease.

I have never actually used an eyeshadow in a pencil form before, but I literally just swipe it over my eyelids and blend out the edges for a simple everyday look. It just adds a little "something" to the eyes, but when I want something a little more eye-catching I deepen the crease using some shades from the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette, as below. 

I just adore this Stylo Eyeshadow so much, it's a fantastic product and I am so delighted how easily it applies. I actually would love a couple more shades so that I can play around and experiment and try out a whole entire look using the Stylos.
The wear time is really good, I got a good 8 hours wear time before it started to crease (I always wear it over my MAC Painterly Paint Pot).

I'm just so in love with this Stylo Eyeshadow. It's so incredibly easy to apply, and you can make it as simple or dramatic of a look as you like. It has definitely impressed me! Who doesn't love a bit of Chanel!

New - MUA Power Pout - "Justify"

I could not wait to get my hands on one of these! I have always admired Clinique Chubby Sticks but at £16.00 a go, it would really break my heart paying that because I am such a lover of budget beauty items! The MUA versions are just £3.00! Now, obviously I cannot compare the two brands but so far, I am loving the MUA Power Pout!

I chose the shade Justify because I am so in love with coral shades at the moment. The packaging is great, it is a perfect chunky crayon. The silver part twists to reveal more product, just like the Clinique Chubby Sticks. There is so much product for the £3.00 price!
These Power Pouts are so full of moisture, they just glide on and look so glossy. They have a slight menthol scent and as such they tingle a little on the lips but I love this! They feel so good on your lips and are very comfortable to wear. They are pretty long lasting and even after a couple of hours wear, there was still a little tint on my lips. Love it! I am definitely going to buy more of the shades!
