Hey, buddy! one more lovely autumn morning right here in the Bay Area. I went to take the trash out this morning, as well as when I exhaled I really saw my breath in the air. It’s only a matter of time before it gets truly chilly once again (well, chilly for this part of California, which I understand is not truly that chilly compared to other parts of the country, however we’re weather condition wusses here).
Hopefully the new Chanel Harmonie Du Soir quad will keep me warm… Not so much physically warm, however its four colors (taupe, gold, pink as well as plum) have been firing me up. Lately they’re all I’ve been wanting to wear.
MAINOS
Harmonie du Soir Quadra Eye shadow ($65)
Harmonie’s formal name reads like a champion race horse: “Regard Signe De Chanel Quadra Eye shadow in Harmonie Du Soir,” as well as at $65, it’s priced like a thoroughbred, too.
There’s truly no method around the truth that this is one costly piece of makeup, however as difficult core Chanel-o-philes already know, the cost premium is nothing new from the line. This combination does include a special quilted style on the pan, though, which makes it seem a bit more exclusive.
Oh, as well as it would make such a wonderful gift! envision opening it up on Christmas morning… [SWOON!] I’d requirement a fainting couch.

The Chanel Harmonie du Soir Quad 60-second overview…
Finish: one of my preferred things about this quad! It’s shimmery without being frosty. using it, I feel all delicate as well as glowing, like I’m being illuminated by candlelight as well as photographed utilizing a soft focus lens. It plays well with my fine lines, even as the day uses on, just as the formula itself never appear heavy or thick.
Pigment: I’d define each of the colors as “just timid of full coverage.” Guys/gals who like saturated pigments may want to develop them up in layers, however I kinda like exactly how Chanel dialed back the opacity. I believe it makes these extremely simple to blend as well as provides me more manage over exactly how much color I apply on my eyes.
Blending: one more huge plus for this quad. Easy, seamless color shifts — no elbow grease required. as well as no shadow fallout!
Wear time: exactly how about damn good? perhaps even epic. The other day I used the colors in the quad for 12 hours. in that time they barely creased at all, as well as the colors had faded only a teeny, small bit by the end of the day.
Joten kyllä. kuten tämä! It’s my preferred piece from the Eclats du Soir de Chanel holiday collection so far, as well as a house run for Chanel.
A really, truly costly house run. cost is the only thing that keeps it from being a grand slam.
PRICE: $65
AVAILABILITY: Coming next month to Chanel stores as well as chanel.com

MAC Marilyn Monroe is up!
Morning as well as happy Thursday! just a quick note about the new MAC Marilyn Monroe collection — it’s on the internet now at maccosmetics.com, as well as not surprisingly, many of the pieces are already offered out! I should have more pics, thoughts as well as swatches to share in the coming days.
In other news, I’m staring at a cup of coffee that I understand I shouldn’t have (because I’ve already had enough).
Yeah…when has that ever stopped me before?

Have a great one today. We’re almost to Friday.
