Chanel Rouge Coco Shine - Review & Swatch

Hey everyone! Remember I told you guys that I was going to buy the new Chanel Lipstick? I did. And I have to say it's more of a lipgloss/lipbalm than a lipstick. Because it's sheer,hydrates your lips, and is very smooth to apply. I bought it in the colour 66 bel-ami. It's kind of  an pink-brown dark-ish colour. See the pictures below. 










So that were the pictures and swatch. As for the swatch on my lips? Well, I tried to make a photo of it. But somehow my camera wouldn't focus. But the colour is pretty much as shown in the swatch on my hand. My final conclusion? It isn't the prettiest lipstick I own, to be honest. But it's perfect for daytime, for me. Because my lips are quite dark(naturally). And if I wear an dark brown-ish lipstick, it looks natural on me. Oh, when I went to store I swatched an peach kind of colour. That one was so pigmented, if it would suit me. I'd probably get the peach one. But for fairer girls around us, it would look so pretty on YOU! Oh, and the pigmentation of this one is quite goood! 


So that was my review.What are your thoughts on the CoCo shine? I hope you liked it, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.

 The Brush set, I don't know it's available in the US. But here in the Netherlands it is. It contains 4 brushes. And is around the price of $30/€22.
 The tailored cheek tint. The substance is fluid, but when you apply it. It turns into a cheek colour(uh,duh Farha). Available for $15.50 / €12,00. Yeah, it's cheaper in the Netherlands, haha!
This is the Limited Collection For Eyes. Available in the colours: 01-Boho Beauty and 02 A La Mode. Available for $24,00/€24,00.
Illuminating Face base. In the colour Apricot Glow.Well, it's a base. What can I say more?

My Sigma E25 blending (travel) brush + a review !

Hiya, today an post on Sigma. A brand which I personally really love. Their brushes are AMAZING ! And I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm an Sigma beauty affiliate. And when you're a Sigma Beauty affaliate you get products send to you, not every month though. They send you products according to you blog followers. For example if you have, let's say 50, you'll get the the Blending brush like I did. Anyway, I got it. Tested it out. And honestly I wasn't expecting much. Because it's an travel brush. And travel brushes usually aren't the same quality as the original brush.


But you guys,the Sigma brush is! I purchased a Sigma blending brush myself to compare. And it's really true. The quality seriously is the same.And the brush just fits in your purse , in your little make-up bag. Where ever you want to put it!


Not Blended ...
Blended ...

So as you see. The pictures don't do justice to it. Because it looks way more blended in real life than on the picture. Oh, and excuse me for my crappy eye pictures. My eyes are teary, swollen because of hay fever. So, sorry you have to see that!


Anyway, final conclusion? My new love! I'm sure whenever I go traveling or having a sleepover. This baby will go in my make-up bag !

Random blog.

Hi there! It's sunday and that means I get to ramble on and on. Have you guys seen the new rouge coco shine lipsticks? I did and I bought one. Couldn't resist it. I went crazy and bought 66 Bel-Ami. There is going to an post dedicated to my new Chanel Coco Rouge Shine, be on the lookout for that! 

Anyway, remember I told you guys that there some issue's with my internship. So guess what? It all is fixed. Now she is going to buy an invoice system. Which I'm going to work on. So I'll be working two days at another company, and two days were I'm now. I'm so happy about that. You know, if I didn't complete the core I'm not able to graduate from there. And my guidance counselar even was okay with it. *does happydance*

So this week I went crazy and shopped so much. I went to primark, to mac and even Chanel. And I bought some drugstore stuff to! I'm thinking about filming a haul, but I'm not sure? What do you guys think? Please let me know what you think, should I film or not?

Anyway, remember about my weight loss plan? Well, that ain't working. Lately I'm having these crazy cravings for chocolate. Which I've never had before. I mean it's strange, because I'm not a chocolate person. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I've been trying to cut down with food?

So anyway, this was my short random blog of today. Enjoy your sunday! I know I will. I'm going to crawl into my bed with a face mask and finally watch Black Swan!

Hello there. How are all of you doing today? So Bobbi Brown released a new collection. The Peony & Python collection. Which already has hit the stores(bobbibrown.com). Anyway this collection is in very pretty purple. And you may not know this, but I love the colour P-U-R-P-L-E ! Anyway, look(and read of course) the quote below!
“The pinks and purples in this collection are inspired by peonies, my favorite flower. Peonies are lush, decadent and delicate — just like the colors in the limited palette. I’ve also incorporated grey, a color that was big on the runways this season. A great neutral, it’s totally versatile and a cool counterpoint to pink. And because I love accessories just as much as the next girl, I asked Tibi to design a makeup case to match.” — Bobbi Brown"

    Illamasqua Toxic Nature Collection for Spring 2011

    "Unpredictable, uncharted and unnatural, Illamasqua unleashes Toxic Nature for Spring/Summer 2011, a colour collection born from a visionary concept of nature fighting back against the genetically modified society that plunders it. Illamasqua has created the Toxic Nature collection through a palette of lurid shades, corrupted hues and glistening muted tones that offer intoxicating versions of their original selves.
    “Having an artist background highly influenced this collection. The medium of paint when it is in various states [mixed on a palette, on a canvas, the colours mutating when you wash your brushes inspired the product colours of Toxic Nature. Blends, washes, dabs, drips, daubs and splashes of colour are evident in the imagery of the collection.” Alex Box, Illamasqua Creative Director.
    Like nature itself, it’s not all sweetness and light. Shades of mint, mushroom, plum, orange and rose are distorted with rich textures and pops of acid-infused brightness that command attention and draw you in…"
