Chanel accessories... I want!

Looking around the Chanel website is such a bad idea because I always find something that I want!

Like this beautiful agenda, for example, even though I don't use an agenda anymore (I do everything on my iPhone).


We can never have too many Chanel necklaces, right? J'adore!


And if I had this tweed 'captain' cap it would be easier to say good-bye to summer...


I didn't particularly like any of the bags from the new collection (sigh of relief). Well, apart from this one, maybe. (But it's so small! You could just about fit a Chanel powder, Rouge Coco and Platinum (or is it black these days) Amex card in that.)


Ok, I'd even settle for Chanel ribbons at this point. (I collect them. Really. Sad, huh?)

Wishlist: MAC's May 2010 collections


I managed to get a sneak peek at two forthcoming MAC collections and put in my order straight away! I love that coral is so in because it's my favourite colour for lips and cheeks.

To the Beach
I was stunned by how beautiful the highlight powder in Marine Life is. It has a seahorse embossed on the surface and the colours are vibrant. This is an absolute must! I've ordered two of these, one to actually use and one to keep untouched :-)

The powder blushes come in green packaging with a starfish on the lid. They were pretty colours, especially the coral called Hipness (should I get two?). I ordered both and the nail lacquer called Scorcher, a coral red. The cream bronzer had an amazing texture, it felt very silky once applied to the skin. I didn't order it, though.

Pret-a-Papier
Contrary to what the ad suggests, the packaging for this collection is not cream, it is just normal black. Hm, this makes me think that I should order more from the beach collection and cancel some of these below...

Instant Chic is a coral blush yet again and Dressmaker, Dressmaker is a coral lipstick to match that. Coral Crepe paint pot is a must and Tissueweight is a really pretty pale eyeshadow. Light over Dark is a mineralize blush that reminds me of Cheek & Cheerful; it would also work well on the eyelids (would be a darker version of Love Connection). And I was immediately convinced when I saw Originality nail lacquer - a fantastic, rich bronze that reminded me of the Style Warrior.

Wishlist: MAC Art Supplies


I am excited about the MAC Art Supplies collection. Maybe because it's all limited edition?!  I am tempted to get every single greasepaint stick and every single pearlglide eyeliner. But the truth is, my favourite colour of eyeliner is black, I don't wear bright colours on a daily basis, and I prefer mechanical eyeliners... so this is probably just madness.

The must-haves for me in this collection are:
Greasepaints: Dirty (a nice brown), Uniformly Blue (navy), maybe Below Ground (brown)
Pearlglide: Black line (black with gold), Undercurrent (amazing teal), Petrol Blue

I'm more likely to get a couple of eyeliners because they'll keep for years. I think the Greasepaint sticks will dry out so I don't want to stock up too much on them. Besides, I have a Paint Pot in black so I don't need the dark greasepaints.

Depending on how I'm feeling when I go to the counter, I might sneak in a few more...

Have you made a mental note of anything from this collection?

Wishlist: Dior summer collection 2010

It has been over 10 years since I last bought a Dior eyeshadow. Can you believe it? I still remember, it was a palette of five green eyeshadows. I had only just started dabbling in make-up and the interest was absolutely there but the know-how was absolutely not. I'm sure I looked like a clown, trying to put all five colours on my eyelids (but where...?), and I think that put me off Dior make-up (unfair, yes).

Now that I'm older and wiser, I am ready to face Dior again. An eyeshadow palette from their summer collection has caught my eye.

Crush glow eyeshadow palette. But 649 or 659? I can't make up my mind but I have a slight preference for 649 (with the dark eyeshadow in the middle).

See pictures here:

What do you think?

Wishlist: Chanel Rouge Coco in #5 Mademoiselle


I'm not even particularly a fan of Vanessa Paradis but after seeing her newest ads, I am feeling the urge to own the new Chanel Rouge Coco in her colour, Mademoiselle...
