Round-up: Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick Overview & Thoughts

Round-up: Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick Overview & Thoughts

Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick ($36.00 for 0.12 oz.) was reformulated this year and launched 29 shades. I've reviewed all 27 of the shades I had (a mixture of shades I purchased and press samples), so now it's time for a recap! In general, the formula glides on and has semi-sheer to semi-opaque color...

The best way to describe these is that: it's a semi-sheer to semi-opaque color coverage formula with moderate shine, some cling, and moderate wear with some hydration. They apply best if you let...

Round-up: Tom Ford Soleil Collection Overview & Thoughts

Tom Ford Soleil Collection is a shimmering, warm-toned collection of eyeshadows, cheek colors, and lip colors. There were several great products in the collection with a few so-so shades, though no total misses. The one downside is that three of the four duos feature a Cream Color for Eyes that has...

Round-up: Urban Decay Summer 2015 Eyeshadows Overview & Thoughts

Urban Decay Summer 2015 Eyeshadows ($18.00 for 0.05 oz.) include eight shades that will be permanent. These are a vast improvement than some of the holiday eyeshadows that came out last year, which I was less enthused about (they were often dry and/or powdery). The six shimmery shades had a really...

Round-up: NARS x Christopher Kane Overview & Thoughts

NARS x Christopher Kane Collection launches online on April 15th and consists of ten, limited edition products. I wish I could say I had a favorite, but I was unimpressed by the collection and its products. If you pressed me to pick "favorites," then I would tell you the eyeshadows, as at least...

Round-up: Surratt Beauty Artistique Blush Overview & Thoughts

Surratt Beauty Artistique Blush ($32.00 for 0.14 oz.) is available in ten shades from a highlighter to a deepened red. I reviewed all of these last year after I visited a Barney's location and saw Surratt's range for the first time. Of all the products I swatched at the counter, I left with all ten...
