Les Trompe L’Oeil de CHANEL Temporary Skin Art

SO BEFORE WE GET ANY FURTHER INTO F/W 10, I HAD TO BLOG ABOUT PETER PHILIPS ORIGINALLY HAND-DRAWN TEMPORARY TATTOOS SEEN ON THE SPRING 10 PARIS RUNWAY SHOW.

A PACKAGE OF FIVE SHEETS WITH A TOTAL OF 55 DESIGNS WILL COST YOU $75 (US). IT'S EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE AT Chanel.com, CHANEL boutiques and CHANEL makeup studios.

SO WHILE THE AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS STRONG, WHY NOT INVEST IN THESE INTRINSIC TATTOOS.

EARLIER THIS WEEK, MY DEAR FRIEND NINO LEFT ME A LITTLE GIFT AT WORK, A SAMPLE OF THE NEW JUICY COUTURE FRAGRANCE - COUTURE COUTURE.

JUICY COUTURE DESCRIBES THE SCENT AS "... luscious mandarin wrapped in natural orange flower and a succulent pink grape accord on top ... the middle notes sparkle with star jasmine, honeysuckle and blushed plum and dry down to warm cozy background glittered with amber, vanilla and creamy sandalwood."

THE FRAGRANCE WILL BE COMING OUT TWO WEEKS BEFORE MOTHERS DAY IN APRIL.
SO WHY NOT COME INTO MYER BRISBANE CITY AND PAY NINO A VISIT <3

SO THANK YOU JUICY (AND NINO) FOR BLESSING US WITH ANOTHER FABULOUS FRAGRANCE

XOXO

Somewhere over the rainbow is rainbow dyed hair

Le Vernis: Chanel

FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK: NOW IS THE TIME TO COME OUT!

I'VE BEEN ANTICIPATING THE ARRIVAL OF CHANEL'S HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER LE VERNIS: PARTICULIERE (RRP AU$39)

ALONG WITH TWO OTHER COLOUR IN THE COLLECTION: TENDRESSE (507) AND INATTENDU(503); PARTICULIERE (505) IS ANOTHER STANDOUT, AS THE SHIMMERY MAUVE GRAY IS ONE THAT HASN'T HIT THE AUSTRALIA'S NAIL LACQUER SCENE BEFORE.

Particuliere, Tendresse, Inattendu

FEATURED ON CHANEL'S SPRING 2010 RUNWAY, IT IS BOUND TO BE A HIT JUST LIKE THE SHADE: JADE (F/W 2009)

THE MAN BEHIND THIS GENIUS COLOUR WAS CHANEL MAKEUP DIRECTOR, PETER PHILIPS.

ALL HAIL PETER PHILIPS!

P.S. MONEY SAVING TIP
Don't waste your money on Tendresse or Inattendu. Jesus, you'd could probably find these cheaper in any other brand.

Viktor & Rolf: Eau Mega

SO THIS MONTH SAW THE LAUNCH OF THE DUTCH DUO: VIKTOR & ROLF'S NEW FRAGRANCE - EAU MEGA
HARPER'S BAZAAR DESCRIBED THE PERFUME AS
"... a fresh, glamorous, green concoction with violet leaf, green basil and pear notes and prettied up with peony and sambac jasmine..."
WELL DONE ON MAKING THE FRAGRANCE SOUND APPEALING.

MY OPINION: IF YOU WANT TO SMELL LIKE A 'MATURED' LADY; THIS IS PROBABLY THE PERFUME FOR YOU.
OTHERWISE AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS!

SO I THOUGHT I WAS BEING SLIGHTLY HARSH. BUT AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF TRYING TO LOVE EAU MEGA, THE END RESULT WAS A MASSIVE HEADACHE.

AND THE BOTTLE. SURE THE GOLDEN SEAL BULBSPRAY ATTRACTS THE CUSTOMERS' ATTENTION.
BUT THERE IS NOTHING CLASSY ABOUT PLASTIC ON YOUR $185.00; 75ML BOTTLE.

I PREFER FLOWERBOMB.

Estee Lauder: BRAVO.

SO WE HIT THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY AND THE BEGINNING OF AUTUMN IS LOOMING. BUT BEFORE WE SAY AU REVIOR TO THE GLORIOUS SUN, THE DISGUSTINGLY RISING HEAT AND THE VIVID COLOURS THAT SURROUNDS US THERE IS ONE COLLECTION THAT NEEDS TO BE BOUGHT AND TRIED BEFORE THE SUMMER ENDS!

MICHAEL KORS
VERY HOLLYWOOD
Estee Lauder

Nail Laquer: Bungalow Pink

Nail Lacquer: Hollywood GoldBlush: Sunset PinkBlush: Sunset Coral

Eyeshadow Duo: Blonde Mink

Eyeshadow Duo: Night Star


THE COLLECTION CATERS FOR THE CUSTOMER THAT ADORES THAT 'SHOW-STOPPING' LOOK BUT AT THE MEAN TIME CATERING FOR THE MORE CONSERVATIVE CHARACTERS. OTHER PRODUCTS IN THE COLLECTION INCLUDE:

SHIMMERING LOOSE POWDER
EYE PENCIL
LIP SHEEN
LIP GLOSS

ALWAYS LOVED A GOOD COLLABORATION.

Favourite Product: Nail Lacquer in Bungalow Pink
Stunning Colour!
