CHANEL - Inimitable Intense Mascara # 10 Black 

Among a large choice of mascara products, it is hard sometimes to choose. Sometimes I say to myself, there are all the same, but once you try them on, it is not really the case. My mascara favorite brands are Yves Saint Laurent, if you look for volume (it gives really the false lashes effect), Dior, for quality and for length and volume, the choice is large and of course Chanel. All of these brands have a large choice of products and I am sure you will find what you need at the moment, because sometimes we are in search for more volume, sometimes for length and sometimes for both and even more like care for the lashes or waterproof mascaras etc.

Today's swatch is about the perfect Inimitable Intense Mascara Black by Chanel. I purchased this mascara because it offers what I need at the moment, a perfect natural look. 


The application is easy thanks to the brush that has short bristles. Your lashes appear longer and thicker and well separated. It gives a bit of a volume, but not too much, this is why I am saying that it gives a natural look. Once my father said something I will never forget and it is quite true actually, and it was about a girl we saw on TV. He said that her lashes were like spiders' legs. And this happens when you put too much mascara that gives too much volume and does not separate naturally the lashes. So be careful when choosing the brand and the product. Natural is always the best, and if you need to look like a movie star for some occasion, false lashes do always the trick. 


This Chanel mascara is soft and easy to wear, so you do not feel it heavy on your lashes or eyes. I haven't noticed any flaking which is a good thing, even though I have had a nap once and there were no black tiny pieces or smudging under my eyes.

The packaging is simple, but with Chanel's touch of luxury and easy to slide on in your little bag.

CHANEL Cream Blush - # 63 Révélation


This time, I will share with you a quick look of one of the latest releases by CHANEL. Since recently, CHANEL released an old/new texture of blush which is creamy and it exists in 6 shades. I say old because years ago, my mom used to wear a lot creamy blushes as it was the thing at that time and rarely to be found until now. But, I also say new because lately most of the blushes were in powder.

I got this cream blush as a present from my sister and she chose for me # 63 Révélation, which I would also choose as I was also looking at these blushes for some time and wanted to buy one. # 63 Révélation is the latest shade released in Fall 2013. It is a warm peachy pink and it would look so natural on every skin tone. It has mostly mat finish, but when you apply it on your skin it gives your cheeks a light glow look which makes your skin look healthy. When CHANEL released these blushes, I had doubts about the application of a creamy blush and its texture, but in fact they are great, I can even say even better than the powder blushes. You can apply it very easily with your finger or a brush and obtain a natural and even finish. It sets into skin so naturally and does not make your skin dry or show the pores. The formula is light so you feel the blush very comfortable on your skin.

The wear time is also very good, it last for hours I would say.









The packaging, of course, is so Chanel. It is a little compact black case with a mirror settled in a nice black velvet sleeve.
