Review and Swatches: Chanel Le Vernis Vogue Fashion Night Limited Edition Nail Colour in Provocation

Hello!

Have you heard of the Limited Edition collection Chanel has put out in honour of Vogue Fashion Night? There are three Le Vernis shades (the range also includes the matching Rouge Allure Velvet duo) described thusly by Chanel: La Provocante et Provocation: a unique autumn plum shade; La Délicate et Délicatesse: an intense pink heightened with a touch of fancy; L’Infidèle et Infidèle: a refined beige with a natural sophistication. They are only sold in 5 (I think) Chanel stores worldwide and I was lucky enough to get Le Vernis in Provocation for Christmas (bought at the Hong Kong store, for reference).

Rapid Review: the original beautyblender

Hello!

How do you apply your foundation? I've always alternated between using a foundation brush and using (clean!) fingers. I never really went for sponges because I feared they would soak up, and thus waste, a lot of product. Today's review is on the product that changed my mind- the beautyblender.

Review and Swatches: Urban Decay Nail Polish in Mars

Hello!

Coming up to the holiday season, I always go a little crazy with nail polish. During the year I try to keep it neutral and work-place appropriate (read: pretty but boring) but around the holidays I can go as bright, dark, metallic or glittery as I like. So this review is about the goregous green that is Urban Decay's Mars Nail Polish.

Review and Swatches: OPI Skyfall Collection Nail Polish in Live and Let Die

Hello!

Here's part two to the picture I used for my Urban Decay Mars Nail Polish review. This time, it's just the pinky finger that's relevant to the post. Sorry, I was going to do a full hand of each, but I felt that was just silly.
