YSL, Dior, Chanel



I wil start with YSL and then move to dior and then last but not least to chanel...  :-)


1. YSL



YSL creme de blush
The blush came out in 3 colors, and the one I bought is the color number 1. It is called velvety peach. A great color for summer.The texture is great. The blush feels soft and silky. It has a smell but not not so strong.I personally do not like the smell, though it did smell like watermelon. And yes it is pricey!



YSL Rouge pur couture

YSL Rouge pur coture in number 23, corail poetique. I bought this lipstick with the creme de blush and thought that I should have matching coral color for lips and cheeks. This is in a shade between pink and orange! The packaging is beautiful. The lipstick is quite pigmented, so for those who have pigmented lips, this lipstick wil be good for you! The lipstick feels moisturizing, but it does not last. I had to reapply it after 2 hours! YSL rouge pur couture is from the permanent line!


2. Dior

Christian Dior loose matte powder
Christian Dior in diorskin loose powder, it is a transparent matte powder, 16 g, shade number 2. It is a good powder for the T- zone. Since it is so matte and I am not having oily skin in the other parts then the T - zones this powder makes the rest of my face feels dry. But it does blend nicely with the skin! It is a bit pricey and you can find many other matte loose powders much cheaper and do the same job as this one!


Christian Dior eyeshadow palette
5 couture color eye shadow palette, number 970 and it is called stylish move. The colors are nice. It contains purpule and pink,  but they are not well pigmented and has some shimmer. The colors blends very well, and do not crease with a good primer. The palette costed 50$.




Chanel 



Chanel powder blush in number 65, Espiegle,
This blush is a coral peach color. It is  very nice to use in the summer. The blush is quite sheer, and contains gold shimmer, which is very nice and special, but this blush wil not show on medium skin or darker skin tones!! So if you have darker skin tone stay away from this blush or you wil just waist your money! You wil get around 4 g, so for the price you wil pay you wil not get alot of product.
The brush you get with this blush is not that great and I do recommend to use a professional blush brush!


Chanel rouge coco shine

Chanel rouge coco shine in number 44, sari d`eau.
This lipstick is a sheer and hydrating lipstick and it gives a nice shine with some shimmer!Can not complain about the packaging. It is sleek and elegant!!Rough coco chanel have 19 different colors to choose from. The Sari d`eau  lipstick color is light orange - coral color. It cost around 32 $, and for that price you can find many different lipstick brands ( like MAC sheen supreme lipstick) which gives shine and hydrate the lips and more pigmented then chanel for a better price!! How ever this is limited edition. I would not recommend this lipstick to someone who has pigmented lips!


Chanel Le Vernis nail color, shade 513 , Black pearl.

Chanel Le Vernis nail colors has 32 colors to choose from, and some of them are limited edition. The colors are special colors, especially Mimosa and black pearl is hard to find a dupe for! They are opaque and you only need 1 to 2 coats. They do not flake off so fast also!  Black pearl is forest green, dark greayish color.They cost around 25 $, but it is worth it!

MAC surf baby collection ( some of it) swatches, info, and my personal openion




This is a big collection, but I got only what i felt like having.( the stuff im missing in my mac make up collection. The packaging is a turn down for me!
Crushed metallic pigment

1. Surf the ocean stacks has these colors
1. Frosty platinum 2.light yellow green 3. gold bronze 4.dirty graphite



2. Summer stash stack has these colors
1. Light pink champagne 2. light white pearl 3.light violet 4. brown bronze with gold pearl






These metallic pigments are pretty pigmented and some of those colors  has a frost finish. The only thing which is different about those pigments is that they are (bulky) chunky and that make it slightly harder to work with. All those pigments are limited edition.










Bust out: Dirty midtone violet lipstick with lustre finish. Applies very easily and it is a pigmented color. Limited edition. 




Power point eye pencil; Gilded white. It is a yellow color,frost, finish. It is creamy/soft. This is a nice color for those who does not like white pencil color and think white looks harsh. Limited edition.
