Review - Chanel Coco Rouge Shine

I saw these advertised on one of those mini billboards and did the usual "OOOOooh!" but then of course the sensible part of my brain kicked in with "Errm, dude... it's Chanel... that's gonna be pretty pricey" but I've gone mad on moisturising lipsticks recently and I had to look up some swatches.

Long story cut short, I had to get my hands on one! I really couldn't make my mind up and ended up buying two (even though they are very similar!) so I bought No. 50 - Rivage and No. 54 - Boy... If you live in the UK, I'd recommended going to a large Boots if you can to buy these, so you can collect the advantage points!

These lipsticks are really beautiful. They glide like a dream and are really moisturizing without being too creamy. When compared to the Boots 17 Moisture Shine Lipstick (Beehive became quite popular within the beauty community) the Chanel is less opaque but is buildable which I think is a bonus, not to mention the wider range of colors. The Coco Shine also has a longer staying power of 4-5 hours on more lighter colours (I can't really vouch for this personally as I usually reapply when I don't need to!)

If you can fork out for one of these babies, I'd highly recommend it.

Okay, not posted in a while but I must admit, I'm not too bothered at the moment as I know I'm pretty much the only person in the world reading this blog. And I'm okay with that really, I just want this to be more of a hobby and exploration of new products (Okay Melissa, you're talking to yourself again..)

I have bought bits and bobs over the last two weeks or so. I'll take some photos during the day (the lighting here is pants) but my main rave has been Butter London nail polishes. LOVE! I'd really like a nude though.. but a nude like OPI's Sweetheart (maybe) with a lil' tiny teenie bit of shimmer. I don't know just yet. Meh.

I'm attempting to sort out my nail polishes at the moment. Finding a storage solution where I can keep all my polishes upright and together is currently on the agenda and also I had the brain wave of painting a false nail with colour and labelling it (although currently they're stuck on the bottles with blue tac - major eyesore!)

Next to buy (or in the near future) is the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine lipstick. I don't know why but it's calling to me.

Gutting news: the cold train is on it's way - achoo wooo! Hopefully I'll be able to get my arse into gear soon and put some more informative posts up and update (hopefully someone) on my shopping antics.
