Outfit Details

Necklace - Accessorize

Rings (Gold and Platinum) Midi Ring - Forever New. Heart Tattoo = my favorite. 

Crystal Pendant and Chain - Swarovski

Bag - oasap.com, Rings - Forever New, Watch - Micheal Kors, Mint Dress (whatever you can see of it) - ASOS.

For a change I thought I'd include a style/fashion post. Since I have no one to take outfit pictures for me, these little "Details" posts have got to do.
Once I find someone who can take a decent picture of my outfit, I'll start updating that section of my blog too. Until then, thoughts?

Oh, and I shall leave you with this - I have two cats, one who usually sits passively and watches me blog/take pictures/put on my makeup, his name is Snowman, pictures coming soon), and the other - who needs to be a part of everything. Meet my attention seeking diva, Qoco.

Qoco, my helper/disrupter. Whenever I'm setting up for pictures for my blog, you will find her sitting right next to the products, waiting to pounce of 'em. Not to mention posing. She loves the camera.

The Chanel Face



More like The Chanel Base, but oh well.
Chanel - just the name invokes a sense of luxury. Who doesn't want to own that quilted Chanel bag or a little black dress? Until I can afford it, the Makeup has got to do. I don't own too many Chanel Products (3), but the ones I do own I use and love to death.
When buying Makeup, whatever the brand, my first instinct is always to try out face products - I think bases are my thing. For the sake of this post, I kept my makeup relatively simple because I just wanted to show you how well these products work together. There's just something about pairing products of the same company together, isn't there?
Vita Lumier Aqua gives you this gorgeously dewy finish has light-medium coverage. Somehow it manages to conceal all my spots and scars (as is evident) eliminating the need for concealer. It was also one of those days where I woke up after a loooonng restful night of sleep and hence did not have to battle my dark circles. I lightly dusted the Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre all over my face - focusing under the eye and around the cheeks to keep my foundation in place and help it last all day, because this day was a long 'un.
I skipped the bronzer (shocking, I know!) and headed straight for my Le Blush Creme De Chanel in Presage (62) which looks so natural. I don't blush by nature, but my face does go a shade of almost beetroot red when I work out - not attractive in the least - but this is a "I wish I blushed this colour - heck, I wish I blushed at all" kind of natural.
The rest of my face consisted of eyeliner, running a bit of NARS Coconut Grove through my eyebrows and my NYX San Paulo on ze lips! Curled 'em lashes just for definition sake and left it at that.

What are your favorite Chanel Products?

A Bridal Eye




I think this one is pretty self explanatory. Basically, a while back, I did this eye look on a bride. She was super adventurous and was dead-set on smokey eyes with a twist. We decided not to go super matching, but still tie it in with her outfit, hence the colour in the bottom. I loved the way it turned out, so I thought I'd recreate it for my blog.

What do you guys think?
