So it’s time for August favourites! This month I got a lot of new products and here are those that I loved the most.
1 and 2 – Illamasqua’s Precision Inks in Abyss (deepest black) and Alchemy (antique gold). It’s easy to use them, the colours are rich and pigmented and they stay on forever. You can read the detailed review and see the swatches here.
3.Guerlain KissKiss Gloss in Crystal Pearl 800, shimmering iridescent pink.
I’ve been using this gloss all the time and got a lot of compliments and so many people asked me about the colour. Pale sparkly pinks are my favourite lip glosses so no wonder that I like this one so much. The formula is quite thick and moisturizing. Keep in mind that it’s a scented gloss. Crystal Pearl is beyond gorgeous and it reminds me of my favourite gloss of all times – Mica by Chanel. Detailed review coming later.
4. Rouge Bunny Rouge Decadent Duos Joys and Desires in Rumba Cubana.
This is a nice product which is a liquid blush and a lip gloss. I love multi-purpose travel friendly products and this is one of them. The lip gloss is lovely but the blush is just amazing, I am totally in love. The formula is not heavy at all and it’s easy to

It’s a always a pleasure to see a new collection by Chanel.
So here is the new SoHo collection. This collection is all about a ” a very special kind of New York woman. She is innocent, but she has a steely determination that fuels the city” . In this collection you can see both soft pink for lips and dark metallic shades for nails plus a SoHo palette and a Stupendous quad.
Here is Peter Philips himself talking about the collection. And I like how he describes it: “Stupendous, Steel, Strong, Stunning, Stunt, Star: strong names that reflect the candance, the musical rhythm, the heartbeat of SoHo”
Collection includes:
The Soho de Chanel Palette
The Quadra Eye Shadow Palette
- Stupendous (beige, brown, prune and steel)

Do you want to see the swatches of the Khaki Brun, Khaki Vert and Khaki Rose? Then you should. So do you love them? I think I’ll pass on these shades.
Read MoreChristina Hendricks looked beautiful at the Emmy’s 2010 and I’ve got the details about her look. This look was created by Make-up Artist Vanessa Scali and was inspired by Mia Farrow’s Daisy Buchanan from “The Great Gatsby”
Face
Vanessa prepped the skin with Lancôme’s La Base Pro makeup primer. To perfect Christina’s already luminous skin, Vanessa used the new Teint Miracle Lit-From-Within foundation . “It has an amazing transparent quality that leaves the skin looking flawless and luminous without being shiny,” said Vanessa. “I applied it with a brush and then blended with my fingers.” Blending with her fingers heated up the foundation a bit, allowing for a seamless finish. Vanessa followed with Effacernes Concealer under the eyes, her “all time favorite concealer.”
For a fresh pop of color I used Blush Subtil Shimmer in Shimmer Pink Pool on the apples of her cheeks. Dabs of Giorgio Armani Beauty’s Fluid Sheer #2 highlighted Christina’s cheekbones.

The eye shadow was mix of YSL’s Ombre Solo Eyeshadow in
