Got it: Chanel Rouge Coco in Mademoiselle

I had the impression that #5 in Mademoiselle was one of the, if not the most popular colour from the new Chanel Rouge Coco lipstick line. Vanessa Paradis does such a convincing job of selling the je ne sais quoi with this that even I had to get my hands on it.

Generally, I'm more into playing up the eyes and going lighter on the lips, so I was worried that Mademoiselle might be too strong a colour. It can be, if you apply several layers - see the swatch on the right - which can be handy for day-to-night transitions. But just one quick swipe or smacking the lips together when applied to the upper lip will give you a healthy-looking stain.


As with any lipstick, you can change the colour and effect with lip gloss. Out of curiosity, I swatched Mademoiselle first on its own (very left), then applied four different MAC lip glosses.



L to R: Chanel #5 Mademoiselle, MAC Lustreglass Love Nectar, Cremesheen Glass Partial to Pink, Dazzleglass Goldyrocks, Dazzleglass Moth to Flame 


I like it best with Love Nectar, which isn't a surprise because it's my favourite gloss. It gives it some shine and deepens the colour a bit but otherwise stays relatively true to the lipstick colour. Partial to Pink is a pink gloss so unsurprisingly it takes Mademoiselle into a girlier category. The last two are just extremely glittery and don't appeal to me. In fact, I don't like the Dazzleglasses anymore, they are too shiny and way too sticky.

Getting Creative.......Sort of


Well let's get Creative again. I am all about saving a dime, this Thakoon dress is one of my favorites. The first time I wore it, was to a party in Charlotte, now its not super sexy or revealing but it's very chic. Sometimes when I go out, I wanna give more of a sophisticated vibe off rather then sexy.


REMIXED
Going to church
Same dress different locations, its amazing what a set of pearls will do for an out fit.
Here I am wearing the Thakoon dress, with black leggings and "the never dying flat black boots"

Trying out a new conditioner


Let me be the first to admit that I am a product junkie, always eager to try something new. In fact most of my friends would consider me the lab rat, because I will try almost anything. I have always experimented with products, in fact when I was seven years old I called myself making a beauty potion that consisted of water, soap and rose petals. Well guess who decided to drink this crazy potion.............. you guessed it, ME! Twelve hours after drinking it, I came down with Strep Throat and had to miss school! Well I got word from my friend Randi that this conditioner might be worth trying out.

Here I am after washing and deep conditioning my hair for a hour.


First thing I do after rinsing out the conditioner is section it into four parts.



Then I take little small pieces and blow it dry with a round brush, I find that the round brush gets it much straighter than the comb attachment that comes with the blow dryer.
Next I take little small pieces and curl it with a ceramic curling iron and then wrap it. (Not Pictured)


This is the ending result! The verdict is still out about the conditioner, it has a very strong fragrance that I am on the fence about! I will keep you updated.
