Ok I admit it, I have a little problem with lip glosses...OK its more of an obsession than a problem in that I just dont seem to be able to stop myself from buying them! Whats worse is that every one I buy seems to be some variation on frosted baby pink but this time its special!!
A couple of days ago I purchased a Chanel glossimer lip gloss in the colour Volage and I have fallen head over heels! It is a gorgeous thick consistancy so it lasts pretty well on the lips and has an almost lipstick like coverage, and the colour ooohh the colour, its a perfect baby pink with a high shine and a very light shimmer running through.
When I bought the gloss I intended to use it only on its own without lipstick underneath as I thought it would be too thick in consistancy to work with a lipstick but I tried it today teamed with a lovely Estee Lauder lipstick which I got free with a gift with purchase called Pink Champagne and it really enhanced both the colour and the lasting power!
In short a big thumbs up for this gorgeous Chanel gloss :D

Im loving : Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation!
So I have to talk about the latest foundation I have fallen in love with, the clue is in the title, yes its Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation - I think this may turn into a long term relationship!
I have always loved Chanel foundations and have never really put much thought into changing because I was always really happy with the result I got with them but recently my skin has been incredibly oily and my usual Teint Innocence compact foundation by Chanel just wasn't lasting through the day. I have always heard people reconmending Double Wear but not being a big fan of Lauder have never thought about trying it out for myself, however I had a chat to the Lauder consultant who said it was a great foundation for us oily girls and kindly gave me a little sample.
When I first put it on it felt a little powdery and heavy but it blended in well and left a pretty natural effect. The main test however was a day in work under the harsh lights and without constant access to my beloved MAC blot powder. I was amazed that when I took my lunch break around 5 hours after I applied my makeup, it looked freshly applied without even a hint of oil coming through! I even tried it the next day when I was out and about shopping and it rose to the challenge of varying temperatures! I rushed out and bought it yesterday and I have to say at £22.50 its worth every penny!
