0 My Review: The Lipgloss- By DOLCE & GABBANA
Head over heels for this gloss!
By the Dolce&Gabbana makeup line- this lipgloss in shade “Raspberry” is gorgeous!
I got it from the Bouquet makeup collection spring 2012. The closest D&G store u can get is from UAE.
Dolce & Gabbana Lip Glosses are very moisturizing- it stays on for approx 4-5 hrs.. It smells sooooo god!! Like candy/sweet rosy perfume!
It is super glossy- like all the other shades in the D&G line! It is also has high pigmentation!
The color is pink ofcorse- rosy pink- not so light & not so dark… the color is just perfect! Since it is not a very pale color & not so dark it will match a lot of skin tones. The color is so floral and calls for spring- although it’s autumn now where you would expect crimsons and all those darker shades- I still love to wear pinkish hues – matches any season you’re in!
I swear the color is just perfect!
I love to use this lipgloss on it’s own- has a great color- but it’s your choice if you want to add a lipstick underneath!
Check out my swatch below
The only disadvantage is the price tag- quite pricey!
0 MAC & Carine Roitfeld For Fall 2012 – New Collection
MAC’s latest collaboration is with Carine Roitfeld
For those who don’t know who she is- she is a former fashion model, writer and a former editor-in-chief of Vogue,Paris.
Partnering up with MAC, she wants to produce a collection of cosmetics that will make you look, in her words, “tired sexy“.
“Beauty is about a small accident, it is not totally perfect,” says Roitfeld of her collection, which focuses on creating a smouldering smoky eye and was clearly inspired by the ex-editor’s trademark slightly undone look of artfully tousled hair with kohl-smudged eyes.
“Sometimes bad things are the more beautiful things,” she says… “So when you wake up and you haven’t taken off your mascara and you look a bit tired, but tired sexy – this is what I like.”
This collection hits MAC counters on September 6 (USA)
See below what the collection includes
Jungle Camouflage Full Face Kit, Desert Camouflage Full Face Kit, Tropical Mist Lipstick, Feline eye Brow Pencil, Brunette eye brow, black track fluid line, clear brow set, 2 mascaras, studio fix Fluid foundation, mineralize concealer, face&body foundation.
Also, the set includes 49 single lashes, tweezers, lash curler, nail lacquers, and 3 brushes
0 Le Vernis “Holiday”- Summertime De Chanel- My review
This beautiful collection from Chanel “Summertime De Chanel” screams summer. It includes a mixture of sophisticated nude & coral lips, a mix of muted browns and a focus on glowing bronzed skin!
Chanel- always keeping it classy- opt for pretty simple and subtle shades instead of extra bright hues for the summer.
As Chanel describes it, “Sun-kissed cheeks, magnetic eyes, and radiant beauty”.
I don’t blog about Nail polish- but this color is really beautiful- from the same collection !
“Holiday” nail polish is a lively orange – which defenitly matches Calypso LIPGLOSS!
It’s orangy with a hint of red….
The collection also includes 2 other nailpolishes: ISLAND & DELIGHT. Island is a pearly golden beige and Delight is a shimmering bronze.
The nailpolishe’s retail price is 13 BD
Summertime De Chanel Full collection is available in Bahrain.

0 Rouge Coco Shine- “Empreinte” from SUMMERTIME DE CHANEL collection – My Review
This beautiful collection from Chanel “Summertime De Chanel” screams summer. It includes a mixture of sophisticated nude & coral lips, a mix of muted browns and a focus on glowing bronzed skin!
Chanel- always keeping it classy- opt for pretty simple and subtle shades instead of extra bright hues for the summer.
As Chanel describes it, “Sun-kissed cheeks, magnetic eyes, and radiant beauty”.
This beautiful lipstick “Rouge Coco Shine #437 Empreinte” is a soft beige.
COLOR
The lipstick is more of a sheer formula with a wash of color. The color can be described as a sheer nude. It might seem slightly pinkish but it is more nude. I believe it will not really show on your lips if you have fair skin- but if you have olive skin or you are tanned- it will really pop! The formula does have tiny bits of sparkling shimmers (micro shimmers) – which don’t show as much when worn on lips- only in sun.
TEXTURE
You might think that this super shiny lipstick is sticky- but not at all! It is super moisturizing. Oh … and it smells nice. The shine tends to make your lips fuller. I absolutely love how this lipstick doesn’t have a MATTE color to it. That is what makes it so summery! Light and moisturizing. Most of the nudes being sold in the market are matte and dry- but this nude moist shade will become everyone’s favorite.
MOISTURE
This lipstick is unbelievably MOIST! It’s like a lipbalm with a hint of color. I tried it and I feel that my lips are fully soothed and moisturized. You don’t actually feel that you are wearing lipstick because of how moisturized your lips feel.
So if you are someone who loves light lipsticks or more of a lipbalm person- then this is definetly the way to go- as you will love the texture and sheer natural color.
See my swatch below
The lipstick’s retail price is 17 BD

0 Rouge Coco Shine- “En vogue” from SUMMERTIME DE CHANEL collection – My review
This beautiful collection from Chanel “Summertime De Chanel” screams summer. It includes a mixture of sophisticated nude & coral lips, a mix of muted browns and a focus on glowing bronzed skin!
CHANEL- always keeping it classy- opt for pretty simple and subtle shades instead of extra bright hues for the summer.
As Chanel describes it, “Sun-kissed cheeks, magnetic eyes, and radiant beauty”.
This beautiful lipstick “Rouge Coco Shine #447 En Vogue” is basically a shade of energizing tangy coral.
COLOR
The lipstick is more of a sheer formula with a wash of color. The color is more towards a peachy coral. It tends to look pinkish too sometimes. The formula does have tiny bits of sparkling shimmers (micro shimmers) – which don’t show as much when worn on lips- only in sun. The color is similar to Chanel Rouge Coco Shine “Monte Carlo” #62 but with lesser red.
TEXTURE
You might think that this super shiny lipstick is sticky- but not at all! It is super moisturizing. Oh … and it smells nice. The shine tends to make your lips fuller. I absolutely love how this lipstick doesn’t have a MATTE color to it. That is what makes it so summery! Light and moisturizing.

1 PEONY PETAL- The Blush inspired by the Paeonia Flower
I got this blush last week- from the MAC Tres Chic Collection!
The collection was wainly focused on blushes- made up of 6 blushes only. You have the reddish orangy shade, the neutral and the pink/mauve.
To be honest, majority of the shades look very similar to the MAC permanent blushes- so i was hesitated to purchase the rest.
The one I really loved and got is “PEONY PETAL“
A gorgeous pink- with a hint of mauve with it!
Named “Peony Petal”- after the beautiful flower “PAEONIA”
The color is not just pink- it does have some blue undertones with it- So it can be described as a “BRIGHT BLUE PINK”!
The color is candy pink – and the texture is satin/matte.
You can achieve a sheer look with this or intesify it too! So it is easily buildable.
FYI: since the color has blueish undertones- it will go better with cooler complexion. If you have a warmer complexion (yellow undertone) then you should match it with a similar color lip to have something to compliment!
Check out the Swatches below to see the color. As you can see, my skin is slightly tanned- yet it goes beautifully with it!
